Shock Flashcards
T/F: If vascular resistance or tone increases, afterload decreases with a resultant increase in cardiac output and perfusion.
False; If vascular resistance or tone increases, afterload increases with a resultant fall in cardiac output and perfusion.
T/F: Cardiac output=stroke volume x blood pressure
False; Cardiac output=stroke volume x Heart rate
T/F: Causes of increased preload include loss of volume, hypovolemia, decreases in vasomotor tone, and vasodilation
False; those are all causes of Decreased preload.
T/F: A severe fall in vascular resistance results in pooling of blood in capacitance vessels and a fall in blood pressure and preload.
True
T/F: Distributive shock is the result of a volume deficit.
False; Hypovolemic shock is the result of a volume deficit.
T/F: Distributive shock occurs when vasomotor tone is lost.
True
T/F: Distributive shock occurs when the cardiac muscle cannot pump out adequate stroke volume to maintain perfusion.
False; Cardiogenic shock occurs when the cardiac muscle cannot pump out adequate stroke volume to maintain perfusion
T/F: Distributive shock occurs when oxygen uptake is impaired because of mitochondrial failure.
False; Relative hypoxia or dysoxia occurs when oxygen uptake is impaired because of mitochondrial failure.
Which type of shock is caused by obstruction of ventilation or cardiac output?
Obstructive shock
T/F: In regard to early or mild shock, as blood volume initially decreases, pressure within the vessels increases.
False; As blood volume initially decreases, pressure within the vessels falls.
T/F: In regard to early or mild shock, baroreceptors and stretch receptors act to decrease inhibition of
sympathetic tone while increasing inhibition of vagal tone and decreasing release of ANP by cardiac myocytes.
True
T/F: In regard to early or mild shock, the increase in sympathetic tone and fall in atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) results in vasodilation.
False; The increase in sympathetic tone and fall in atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) results in vasoconstriction.
T/F: In regard to early or mild shock, increased sympathetic activity at the heart decreases heart rate and contractility.
False; Increased sympathetic activity at the heart increases heart rate and contractility.
In shock, the vasoconstrictive response will vary between organ systems. Which set of organ systems has the greatest vasoconstrictive response?
kidney, integument, and viscera
cerebral and cardiac flow is preferentially maintained
T/F: Regarding compensatory responses to restore blood flow in the face of shock, an increase in precapillary sphincter tone results in an increase in capillary hydrostatic pressure.
False; An increase in precapillary sphincter tone results in a drop in capillary hydrostatic pressure, favoring movement of fluid from the interstitium into the capillary bed.
T/F: Regarding compensatory responses to restore blood flow in the face of shock, a decrease in renal perfusion results in secretion of renin from
enterochromaffin cells located in the wall of the afferent arteriole.
False; A decrease in renal perfusion results in secretion of renin from Juxtaglomerular cells located in the wall of the afferent arteriole.
T/F: Regarding compensatory responses to restore blood flow in the face of shock, renin stimulates production of angiotensin I, which, after conversion to angiotensin II, increases sympathetic tone on peripheral vasculature and promotes aldosterone release from the adrenal cortex.
True
T/F: Regarding compensatory responses to restore blood flow in the face of shock, vasopressin is a potent vasoconstrictor and stimulates increased sodium reabsorption in the renal collecting ducts.
False; Vasopressin is a potent vasoconstrictor and stimulates increased Water reabsorption in the renal collecting ducts.
(aldosterone stimulates increased renal tubular sodium and water reabsorption)
Which set of clinical signs correlates to moderate hypotension/Shock Class II-III.
1. Normal to anxious mentation, tachycardia, cool to cold extremities. 2. Prolonged capillary refill time, decreased urine output, and cool extremities. 3. Obtunded mentation, normal extremity temperature, decreased urine output. 4. Agitated to lethargic mentation, normal extremity temperature, and anuria.
- Prolonged capillary refill time, decreased urine output, and cool extremities.
cool extremities, agitated to lethargic mentation, decreased urine output, prolonged CRT, tachycardia, tachypnea, and normal to decreased BP all describe a horse in which stage(s) of shock?
Moderate hypotension/shock class II-III
