Shock Flashcards
Septic shock is the result of dysfunction of the
Endothelium and vasculature
Septic shock is secondary to
Circulating inflammatory mediators
Vasodilatory shock is characterized by peripheral vasodilation with resultant hypotension and
Resistance to treatment with vasopressors
The most frequently encountered form of vasodilatory shock is
Septic shock
In septic shock, the vasodilatory effects are due to
Nitric oxide synthase a vasodilator
Cause of septic shock
Gram positive ( exotoxin ) Gram negative ( endotoxin )
More common source of infection
- Genito urinary female more prone
- Respiratory
- Alimentary
- Integumentary
Early septic shock
Warm extremity
Normovolemic
Early septic shock
Decrease BP
Increase CO, HR, RR
Respiratory alkalosis
Late septic shock
Cold extremity,
Hypovolemic
Late septic shock is hypovolemic due to
Increase vascular permeability to the interstitial and
Decrease cardiac output
Late septic shock
Increase vascular permeability ( endotoxin )
Decrease vascular output due to increased pulmonary vascular resistance ( endotoxin )
Increase right ventricular pressure due to impairment of emptying
Treatment for septic shock
Volume replacement
Antibiotic
Get sample in two different sites
Blood culture
Catheterize midstream catch
Urine culture
Earliest sign of gram negative infection
Hyperventilation
Respiratory alkalosis
Altered sensorium (late)
No blood loss
Problem is the central
Neurogenic shock
Neurogenic shock is due to loss of
Vasomotor tone to peripheral arterial beds- vasidilation
Vasomotor tone to peripheral arterial beds- vasidilation
This leads to
Increased vascular capacitance
Decreased venous return
Decreased cardiac output
Neurogenic shock is secondary to
Spinal cord injuries of cervical and hight thoracic region
Or
To anesthesia specially regional
Spinal cord injuries of cervical and hight thoracic region that disrupt
Sympathetic regulation of peripheral vascular tone
Cause of neurogenic shock
Spinal cord trauma
Spinal cord neoplasm
Spinal/ epidural anesthetic
Initial physiologic responses in shock are
Tissue hypoperfusion
Developing cellular energy deficit
Imbalances in shock leads to
Neuro-endocrine and inflammatory responses.
The goal of the neuroendocrine response to hemorrhage is to maintain perfusion to the?
Heart
Brain
In afferent signals, the initial inciting event usually is?
Loss of circulating blood volume
What are efferent signals
Cardiovascular Response
Hormonal Response
Cardiovascular response are
Increase cardiac rate
Increase heart contractility
Venous and arterial vasoconstriction
What receptors are activated to increase heart rate and contractility to increase cardiac output?
Beta-adrenergic receptors
What disfunction will develop if myocardial O2 consumption is continue to increased due to increased workoad?
Myocardial disfunction
Hormonal response are activations of?
Hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis
RAAS
Vasopressin or ADH
Factors that will increase production of ADH
Epinephrine
Angiotensin 2
Pain
Hyperglycemia
Venous return to the heart generates ventricular end-diastolic wall tension, a major determinant of cardiac output.
Preload
Force of ventricular contraction is a function of the preload volume
Forced of contraction being determined by initial muscle length
Ventricular contraction
