Shock Flashcards
MAP equation
MAP=CO x SVR
SVR determinants
Vessel length, diameter.
Blood viscosity.
Stage of shock
- Pre-shock: (compensated/warm) Hypotension, Peripheral vasoconstriction, Tachycardia.
- Shock: Overwhelmed compensatory mechanism.
S/S end organ dysfxn-Tachycardia, dyspnea, metabolic acidosis, oliguria, confusion, cool clammy skin - End-organ dysfxn: Progressive dysfxn. Irreversibe damage-Coma-Death.
Shock types (5)
- Hypovolemic
- Cardiogenic
- Obstructive
- Neurogenic (injury loss of SNS)
- Distributive (Sepsis, etc. Decreases TVR)
PCWP
Estimates L atrial pressure
Increased: Cardiogenic
Decreased: Hypovolemic & Neurogenic (or normal)
CO
Increased: Early septic (hyperdynamic response)
Decreased: All else (may be normal in neurogenic)
SVR
Increased: Cardiogenic, Hypovolemic, Late Septic (vasodilation)
Decreased: Early septic (vasodilation), Neurogenic
Hypovolumic etiology
- Blood loss (Post-surgical, GI bleed, trauma)
2. Fluid loss (Dehydration, Burns, Acute pancreatitis)
Hypovolumic Pathophysiology
Decreased: blood vol, preload, SV, CO, BP, tissue perfusion
Compensate: Increase SNS, SVR. Blood shunted to vital organs.
Anaerobic metabolism builds Lactate up.
Hypovolumic parameters
- CO decreased
- PCWP/CVR decreased
- TVR increased
Hypovolumic clinical sx
- Greater loss at higher rate=poorly tolerated
- Sx depend on cause
Hematemesis/Melena/Hematochezia
N/V/D
Abdominal pain
Post-op
Hypovolumic PE signs
Dry mucosa
Extremities: cool, clammy, decreased tugor
Decreased BP/JVP/CVP
Increased heart rate
Decreased urine output
Confused mental status
Post-op bleeding-Abdominal pain & distention
Hypovolumic diagnostic tests
- CBC (h&h), CMP, PT/INR (bleeding)
- Lactate (increase assoc with mortality)
- ABG
- Other: CXR, AXR
Hypovolemic treatment
- Treat issue
- Replace volume
Crystalloid/Colloid/Blood (PRBC, FFP, Plts) - Monitor urine, perfusion, mentation
Vasopressor only if SBP<70, dire situation.
(Already vasoconstrict as compensatory)
Cardiogenic/Obstructive etiology
- Ischemia (MI, CM)
- Valve ds (Severe AS, ruptured chordae tendinae/septum)
- Arrhythmia (Vtach/Vfib/Complete heart block)
Obstructive: PE, tamponade, tension pneumothorax
