Shock Flashcards
What are the two peices of data used to diagnose shock?
Hemodynamics andmixed venous O2
A reflection of LAP, which, in the absence of mitral valve disease, is an indication of
LVEDP and LVEDV
Left ventricular failure, aortic valve disease, mitral valve disease, and cardiogenic shock are conditions w/ increased
PCWP AND LAP
When LAP is greater than 20 mmHG, we will likely see
Pulmonary Edema
What is an example of a condition with increased PCWP but LOW left atrial pressure?
Pulmonary Artery Hypertension
CO x the amount of oxygen in the arterial blood gives us the
Oxygen delivery to tissues
CO x amount of oxygen in the venous blood gives us
Oxygen returne to the heart
Mixed venous oxygen content is derived from the
Fick equation
What is the Fick equation?
(CaO2 - CVO2)/CaO2
If oxygen delivery declines than we see an increase in
Extraction ratio
What are three factors that affect oxygen delivery?
CO, Hb, and PaO2
Reflects the balance between oxygen delivery and oxygen demand
SvO2
A physiological state characterized by insufficient oxygen delivery to the tissues
Shock
We see no protein or RNA synthesis w/ low levels of
ATP
Low ATP levels also causes failure of membrane ion pumps which leads to loss of
mb potential
The cytosolic proton burden increases when we have low ATP levels. This causes
Acidosis
Clinical shock is often accompanied by
Hypotension
MAP less than 60 mm Hg in a previously normotensive person
Clinical Shock
What are the two compensatory responses ot hypotension
Broreceptor response and renin-angiotensin system
The baroreceptor respopnse autoregulates
Blood Pressure
Decrease in arterial pressure leads to decreased baroreceptor firing in the
Carotid sinus and aortic arch
Hypotension disinhibits the
Vasomotor center
Decreased baroreceptor firing causes a decrease in inhibitory neurons which leads to increased sympathetic tone and increased
HR and contratility
In response to low BP, the kidney releases
Renin
Renin then causes activation of
AN-II
AN-II then leads to which 3 things?
- ) Vasoconstriction
- ) Na+ resorption
- ) Net water resorption
Metabolic rates of heart and brain are high with low nutrient stores. Therefore they are critically dependent on blood flow for
Oxygen delivery
What are the visual features of low CO shock?
Cool, clammy skin, pale or gray color
