Shock Flashcards
What is shock?
no tissue perfusion
What is SIRS?
systemic inflammatory response system
What are sx of SIRS?
fever, hypothermia
leukocytosis or leukopenia
tachypnea, tachycardia
Who are at risk for shock?
young/old pts
immunocompromised
very sick people
indwelling catheter
What is bacterial ipopolysacchardie and peptidooglycans?
potent activaros that trigger production of cytokines, chemokines, etc –> inflammatory response
What is the hallmark for local inflammatory response?
intravascular thrombosis
What can widespread endothelial injury result in?
DIC
organ dysfxn
hyporesponse of bone marrow and useless WBC
What is early sign of sepsis?
hyperventilation
What are other sx of sepsis?
tachycardia
weird WBC ct
encephalopathy
acrocyanosis
necrosis of digits - d/t ischemic tissues
petechaie, purpura - platelets going out of wack -DIC
acidosis -d/t poor tissue perfusion –> lactic acid build up
hyper/hypoglycemia
What are major complications of sepsis?
cardiopulm
renal
coagulopathy
hepatic dysfxn
What are cardiopulm complications from sepsis?
VQ mismatch -shunting and less perfusion
pulm capillary leakage –> ARDS occurs
heart failure
What are renal complications from sepsis?
oliguria azotemia - high nitrogen in urine proteinuria lyte imbalance Acute tubular necorsis
What are coagulopathy complications from sepsis?
DIC
thrombocytopenia
What are hepatic dysfxn complications from sepsis?
dec in clotting factors
glucose, albumin, etc goes out of wack
How is SIRS defined?
2 or more of:
Temp: 38C/100F
HR: >90/min
RR: >20/min or PaCO2 12,000 OR >10% bands
