1
Q

Define Shock

A
  1. Shock is a clinical syndrome characterised by inadequate supply of O2 meeting its demand.
  2. Inadequate blood supply to the organs and tissues will result in cellular dysfunction.

Q

What is the cause of Neurogenic, Anaphylactic and Septic shock?

A
  1. Caused by decreased in peripheral resistance
    a) Neurogenic shock:
    - Inadequate autonomic nerve activity to arterioles.

b) Anaphylactic shock:
- Release of vasodilators by excessive immune responses.

c) Septic shock:
- Presence of vasodilatory bacterial toxins

Q

What is the cause of Hypovalaemic and Cardiogenic shock?

A
  1. Caused my decreased cardiac output
    a) Hypovalaemic shock: Reduction of blood volume

Q

Simple pathology of Hypovalaemic shock

A
  1. Inadequate myocardial contractility
  2. Sympathetic overactivity causes vasoconstriction in order to maintain the blood pressure
  3. BP remains normal however organs are poorly perfused due to decreased blood volume.

Q

Simple pathology of Cardiogenic shock

A
  1. Poor myocardial contractility
  2. Increased venous pressure results in fluid to shift out of the vascular compartment causing oedema.
  3. SNS overactivity causes vasoconstriction in order to maintain BP
  4. BP remains high or normal however organs are poorly perfused.

Q

Simple pathology of Distributive shock

A
  1. With adequate fluid replacement, heart compensates by increasing HR.
  2. Vessels dilate resulting in SVR (systemic vascular resistance)
  3. Capillaries continue to leak fluid; worsens hypovalaemia causes oedema (pulmonary oedema)
  4. Changes in BP and organ perfusion

Q

Simple pathology of Obstructive shock

A
  1. Myocardial contracts against high after-load
  2. Back pressure leads of venous congestion.
  3. SNS over activity causes vasoconstriction in order to maintain BP
  4. BP remains normal however organs are poorly perfused.

Q

Paediactic shock

A
  1. Acute illness demands increased CO(HRxSV)
  2. Infants have a fixed SV; dependant on increased (CO/HR)
  3. Myocardial compliance decreases affecting the preload to increase SV
  4. loss of >25% fluid circulation volume -> signs of shock

18
Q

Altering cardiac output

A

Preload: Fluid-loading &resuscitation
Afterload: Vasoconstriction/vasodilation
Contractility: Medications

19
Q

Fluid loading

A
  1. Recom. 2/3 Cystalloid- 1/3-1/5 Colloid (10-20mls/kgs x2)

2. Hb & haemocrit are decreased after fluid loading

20
Q

What are the differences with crystalloids vs colloids?

A
  1. Crystalloids:
    a) Synthetic (Hartmans, 4% Dextrose, NS)
    b) Inexpensive
    c) No allergic reactions
  2. Colloids: Blood expanders
    a) 20x more expensive
    b) Improves CO, O2 consumption/delievery
    c) Increases allergic reactions
21
Q

Why are blood replacements used?

A
  1. RBC needed for O2 carrying capacity

2. Platelet for homeostatic & coagulation properties

22
Q

What are your blood replacement considerations?

A
  1. Need to be typed and crossed matched
  2. Time limited use O negative
  3. > 2units of blood need to be warmed
  4. Lines should be primed with NS or blood
  5. Must be used 4hrs after removal from fridge
23
Q

Guide to fluid replacement

A
  1. Volume replacement with crystalloids
    - 3mls for every 1ml lost
  2. Fluid challenges/options:
    - Bolus 20mls/kg 4% & 1/5 NS in children
    - IV bolus 200-300mls Hartmans/NS in adults (medical & surgical)
  3. Volume replacement for measured losses; (GIT loss 1ml for each ml lost every 4hrs)
  4. Volume replacement with colloids:
    1ml for every 1ml lost
