Shock Flashcards
What is shock?
Complex circulatory dysfunction—>insufficient O2 and nutrient delivery to satisfy tissue requirements
Name the 2 classifications of Shock
- Compensated (normal b/p & decreased flow to non-essential organs)
- Uncompensated (decreased blood flow to all organs)
Name the 2 subtypes of Uncompensated Shock
- Reversible
2. Irreversible
With Compensated Shock, which 3 organs get preferential perfusion?
- Heart
- Brain
- Adrenals
What happens when Compensation is used up?
Anaerobic Metabolism–>Increased Glucose Metabolism–>Metabolic Acidosis & Cellular Dysfunction–>Release of Chemical Mediators–>Further Decreased Tissue Perfusion–>Capillary Leak–>Sluggish Blood Flow–>DIC–>Death
Capillary leak is seen especially w/what type of shock?
Septic Shock
Recite the shock pathway starting with Inadequate tissue perfusion to 1 or more organs.
Inadequate tissue perfusion to 1 or more organs–>Decreased O2 & Nutrients–>Inadequate Delivery to meet Metabolic needs of tissues (lactic acid met.& dec. pH)–>Cellular dysfunction–>Possible cellular death
What is the formula for CO?
CO = HR x SV
SV is the volume of blood ejected in _____ ______.
Heart Beat (from Ventricle)
CO is the amount of blood ejected in each _______.
Minute
What is the only way infants can effect CO?
By altering HR. They can not change SV (like an adult can).
What can be the earliest sign of shock?
Altered HR
What are the factors that negatively affect CO?
Decreased Preload
Increased Afterload (Increased SVR)
Decreased Myocardial Contractility (less blood w/each beat)
Electrolyte, Mineral or Energy Imbalances
Name the 3 types of shock
- Hypovolemic
- Cardiogenic
- Septic
What is the most prevalent type of shock in NICU?
Hypovolemic
What does Hypovolemic shock result from?
Low circulating Blood Volume
When does Cardiogenic shock happen?
When the Heart Muscle functions poorly
True/False: Septic shock includes parts of Hypovolemic and Cardiogenic Shock?
True.
Name the 4 causes of Hypovolemic Shock
- Acute blood loss during Intrapartum Period.
- Postnatal Hemorrhage
- Obstructive (Pneumopericardium, etc)
- Other non-hemorragic causes (cord accidents, dehydration, capillary leak)
What is the estimated blood loss in Compensated Hypovolemic Shock?
How much Replacement volume would you give?
~25%
20 mL/kg
What is the estimated blood loss in Uncompensated, Reversible Hypovolemic Shock?
How much Replacement volume would you give?
~25-40%
20-30 mL/kg
What is the estimated blood loss in Uncompensated, Irreversible Hypovolemic Shock?
How much Replacement volume would you give?
> 40%
> 30 mL/kg
Name causes of Cardiogenic shock
Intrapartum/Postpartum Asphyxia Hypoxia/Metabolic Acidosis Bacterial/Viral Infection Severe RDS Severe Hypoglycemia Severe Metabolic/Elelctrolyte Imbalances (esp Hyperkalemic Crisis--effects Heart pumping) Arrythmias (SVT) CHD's (esp a/w hypoxemia or obstruction of systemic circulation--i.e. Hypoplastic L. H.)
Septic Shock is caused by?
Severe Infection–Viral OR Bacterial.
Usually Gram- Cocci, but can be Gram+
True/False: W/a bacterial infection, many complicated systemic reactions occur that result in circulatory insufficiency
True
In Septic Shock, what allows fluid to leak out of the blood vessels and into the tissue spaces?
Loss of Vascular Integrity
In Septic Shock, Poor Myocardial Contractility leads to…..
Poor tissue Perfusion and Oxygenation
With poor Myocardial Contractility, _____ _________ is a high risk.
Organ Failure
