Shock Flashcards
STROKE VOLUME
amount of blood ejected with each ventricular contraction
Three parts to:
afterload
preload
contractility
CARDIAC OUTPUT
amount of blood pumped per minute (CO=HRX SV)
MEAN ARTERIAL PRESSURE (MAP)
average pressure in the arterial circulation throughout the cardiac cycle
(systolic + 2diastolic)/3
PULSE PRESSURE
the difference between systolic and diastolic pressures
TYPES OF SHOCK
- Low blood flow
- Misdistribution of blood flow
LOW BLOOD FLOW
- hypovolemic
- cardiogenic
MALDISTRIBUTION OF BLOOD FLOW
- septic
- neurogenic
- anaphylactic
HYPOVOLEMIC CAUSE
- severe trauma with massive tissue injury
- hemorrhage
CARDIOGENIC CAUSE
- acute MI
- arrhythmias
- cardiomyopathy
SEPTIC CAUSE
- pancreatitis
- infection
- sepsis
NEUROGENIC CAUSE
- spinal cord injury
- narcotic overdose
ANAPHYLACTIC CAUSE
- multiple transfusion
- severe allergic reaction
SHOCK
-characterized by decreased tissue perfusion and decreased cellular metabolism
- imbalance in supply /demand
- not enough oxygen
- aerobic to anaerobic
MAP less than or equal to 60= shock
MAP less than 50= death
MAP 70-90= normal
HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK
most common
-severe blood and or fluid loss making the heart unable to pump enough blood to the body
- emergency situation
- loss of 1/5 the normal amount of intravascular volume in the body
- AFFECTS NEURO STATUS 1ST
ABSOLUTE HYPOVOLEMIA
FLUID LOSS THROUGH
- hemorrhage
- gastrointestinal loss
- fistula drainage
- diabetes insipidus
- rapid diuresis
- severe dehydration
RELATIVE HYPOVOLEMIA
FLUID LOSS THROUGH
- movement of fluid from intravascular space to extravascular space
- burns
- liver disease
- third spacing
HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK
-size of vascular compartment unchanged
- decreased venous return to heart
- decreased preload, SV and CO
- impaired cellular metabolism
- response to acute voulume loss depends upon
: age, injury, health
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OD HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK
- anxiety , confusion
- agitation
- tachycardia
- hypotension
- pallor
- cold and clammy
- decreased cap refill/pulses
- decreased urine output
- decreased or absent bowel sounds
HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK IMMEDIATE TREATMENT
- recognize before it happens
- ABC’s and LOC
- high flow O2 95% stat wanted
- 2 large bolus IV
- fluids / blood via warmer
- medications as warranted
- expose pt to find and stop bleeding
