Shock Flashcards
What is the definition of shock?
Tissue hyoperfusion and cellular hypoxia
What are the six different factors that lead to shock?
decreased O2 delivery, or utilization, increased O2 consumption. Hypotension below 80-90 mm Hg
Decreased systolic BP 40 mm Hg below baseline
MAP (mean arterial pressure) <60-65 mm Hg
What is the pathophysiology behind shock? (up to vasodilatory shock)
Failure to deliver and utilize O2
Increased O2 consumption (tissue demand)
Anaerobic glycolysis leads to lactate
Non-compensatory response- pathologic results
What is the pathophysiology of shock starting at vasodilatory shock has occurred?
Vasodilatory Shock- unregulated NOS, interstitial fluid, cellular edema, impaired O2 diffusion
Increased lactate-> acidosis accompanies shock
Lactate levels reflect tissue hypoxia
If D O2 fails to meet O2 demand, develop O2 debt. Cellular inflammation and injury; irreversible/ decompensated shock
What are the broad categories that are included in the S/S of shock?
Extremities/skin Neck veins Heart Rate BP Respirations Renal Heart Metabolic
What are the S/S of shock in the extremities/skin
Cool, clammy, cyanotic, pallor mottled distally, decreased perfusion/vasoconstriction, dry mucous membranes, decreased skin turgor- seen in hypovolemic, cardiogenic, obstructive shock; warm and pink extremities- associated with vasodilation of distributive/dissociative shock (cyanide position
What are the neck S/S of shock?
Neck veins: Distended (HF, PE, tamponade); flat (hypovolemic)
What are the hear rate s/s of Shock?
Fast (sensitive indicator of shock); occasionally slow
What are the BP S/S of shock?
Systolic usually low; diastolic usually low
What are the respiration S/S of shock?
Tachypnea, bronchospasm, respiratory failure
What are the renal symptoms of shock?
Receive 20% of CO oliguria; associated with vomiting, diarrhea, hemorrhage
What is the criteria of oliguria
<400-450 cc/24 hr; < 5 cc/kg/hr
What are the heart symptoms of shock?
Decreased coronary perfusion, ischemica; increased LVDP; mental status changes- decreased cerebral perfusion, confused restless, agitated, deliria, stupor, coma
What are the metabolic symptoms of shock?
Respiratory alk (decreased pCO2, breathing), followed by met acidosis; increased glycerin, decreased glycemia, increased K, increased anion gap (non-measurable anions) (Na-(Cl+HCO3)) Frequently increased lactate/think shock; higher lactate= higher mortality
What are the 3 categories of hypovolemic shock?
Hemorrhagic
Non-hemorrhagic
DKA
What is the hemorrhagic version of shock?
GI bleeding (varices, ulcer, diverticuli), pelvic bleeding (post-partum hemorrhage, vaginal hemorrhage (laceration), hemorrhagic pancreatitis, AVM
What is the non-hemorrhagic cause of shock?
GI losses (V/D), skin losses (burns, heat strokes)
Discuss DKA form of shock?
Renal losses (salt washing, osmotic diuresis) hypoaldosternoism, adrenal insufficiency, third space loss (pancreatitis, bowel obstruction (sequestration of fluids) systemic inflammation
What is the most common cause of hypovolemic shock?
Hemorrhagic
What is a critical component to the presentation of hypovolemic shock?
Date of volume loss; helps determine acute vs slow
What are treatment issues with volume?
Tx depends on the circulating integrity (shock)- over zealous or too rapid correction
(rate of replacement composition of replacement)
If someone is in shock how fast should you administer fluids and what two things do you have to monitor afterwards?
Rx fluids fast. Monitor BP and tissue perfusion
Discuss crystalloids, what is the main cation, when are they useful for fluid replacement?
Na (main cation), used in hypovolemia from renal, GI, sweat, burns, hemorrhage
What is D5-W equivalent to?
free water
