SHOCK Flashcards
what is shock?
clinical syndrome of tissue hypoperfusion due to circulatory failure
what happens in cardiogenic shock>
there is decreased force of contarction of heart and sometimes decreased heart rate. this causes a decrease in cardiac output and so MAP decrease. there is compensatory increase in systemic vascular resistance causing
COOL CLAMMY PERIPHERIES
name some causes of cardiogenic shock
ischaemia
valve disease
what happens in obstructive shock
there is obstruction to cardiac outflow
get venous back pressure causine
RAISED JVP AND DISTENDED NECK VEINS
name some causes of obstructive shock
PE
tension pneumothorax
what happens in hypovolaemic shock
there is decreased blood volume
lover venous return to heart
reduced force of contraction and reduced cardiac output
name some causes of hypovolaemic shock
dehydration
haemorrhage
what happens in disruptive shock
decreased systemic vascular resistance due to vasodilation
Decreased MAP and compensatory increase in cardiac output
WARM RED PERIPHERIES
describe the basic pathophysiology of shock
mean arterial pressure is below necessary standard
so
slow flow of blood to organs
so
inadequate perfusion of tissue for cellular metabolic requirements
how might you recognise shock
altered mental state
GCS <15
skin is cmally/mottled
oligura
will lactate increase of decrease in shock
increase
more anaerobic respiration
