Q

The body’s systemic physiological reaction to shock:

A

– Progressive vasoconstriction – Increased blood flow to vital organs: Shunt of skin, acral regions, splanchnic system – Increase in CO/CI – Increase in respiratory rate and tidalvolume – Reduced urine production – Reduction gastric and intestinal activity

Q

What does shock do to the GI tract?

A

Gastrointestinal ischemia: GI hemmorhage, peritonitis

20
Q

Definition of cardiogenic shock:

A

Protracted severe malperfusion of tissues due to an acute, critical reduction in myocardial pump capacity Need to exclude other correctible factors: hypovolemia, arterial hypoxia, vasovagal rxn

21
Q

What percent of MI pt end up with cardiogenic shock?

A

5-10% and Cardiogenic shock is considered the cause of death in 50-90% of these patients

22
Q

What are the clinical signs of cardiogenic shock?

A

• Signs of centralized circulation and organ dysfunction • Agitation • Pale, cool, clammy skin • Oliguria (< 20ml/h) • RV dysfuntion (e.g. PE, RCA MI) : – Elevated venous pressures, jugular distention • LV dysfunction (e.g. LAD/Cx MI, acute AI/MR): – Pulmonary edema

23
Q

The etiology of cardiogenic shock can be one of two categories:

A

myocardial or mechanical

24
Q

Pathophysiology of ischemic cardiogenic shock?

A

inadequate myocardial perfusion (decreased duration of diastole) excessive increase in myocardial oxygen consumption (tachycardia and increse wall tension) metabolic derangement (lactic acidosis)

25
Q

Activation of SNS during ischemic cardiogenic shock is triggered by what and results in what?

A

triggered by critical decrease in stroke volume causes increased preload and afterload

26
Q

What tests are used to diagnose ischemic cardiogenic shock?

A

• 12-channel- EKG: Signs of ischemia?, arrhythmias ? if Normal EKG: cardiogenic shock due to MI unlikely • Chest X ray • Arterial blood gas (VBG) • Basic chem, CBC, cardiac enzymes • Serial lactate levels (indicator of perfusion)

27
Q

Cardiogenic shock general management goals?

A

Optimize ventricular filling Improve coronary perfusion pressure With acute MI as cause: coronary angiography and immediate revascularization

28
Q

Drugs that can be used to improve coronary perfusion pressure:

A

Vasopressors (norepinephrine, phenylepinephrine) Inotropics (dobutamine, epinephrine, milrione) IABP, mechanical circulatory support

29
Q

What is SIRS?

A

Systemic inflammatory response syndrome

30
Q

What is MODS?

A

Multi organ dysfunction syndrome – inflammatory injury involving more than one vital organ

31
Q

What is the criteria for SIRS?

A

at least 2 of the following criteria • Tachypnea >20 breaths per minute Or PaCO2 < 32 mmHg • WBC < 4000cells/mm3 or > 12000 cells/mm3 • Heart rate > 90 beats per minute • Fever > 38.0 °C (100.4 °F) or hypothermia < 36.0 °C (96.8°F)

32
Q

What is sepsis?

A

SIRS with infection usually with at least one of the following: Alteration in mental state Hypoxemia Elevated plasma lactate level Oliguria

33
Q

What is septic shock?

A

the result of dysfunction of the endothelium and vasculature secondary to circulating inflammatory mediators and hypotension results from failure of the vascular smooth muscle to constrict appropriately

34
Q

What is severe sepsis?

A

sepsis plus sepsis-induced organ dysfunction or tissue hypoperfusion

35
Q

What is primary MODS?

A

Direct result of insult, organ dysfunction occurs early in the course and can be directly attributable to insult

36
Q

What is secondary MODS?

A

Consequence of a host response (e.g cytokine release) Inflammatory host response to toxins and other components of microorganisms -> clinical manifestations of sepsis

37
Q

What is cardiogenic shock?

A

defined as circulatory pump failure leading to diminished cardiac output and subsequent tissue hypoxia

38
Q

What are the hemodynamic findings of cardiogenic shock?

A

Hemodynamic criteria include sustained hypotension (SBP <90 mmHg ), reduced cardiac index (<2.2 L/min per square meter), and elevated pulmonary artery wedge pressure (>15 mmHg).

39
Q

What are the causes of cardiogenic shock?

A

Acute myocardial infarction (most common), cardiomyopathies, myocarditis, acute and chronic valve disease, severe arrhythmias, etc.

40
Q

What is obstructive shock?

A

caused by a number of different etiologies that result in mechanical obstruction of venous return decreasing ventricular filling
