Shock Flashcards
What is shock
insuff tissue perfusion causing impaired cellular metabolism
What shock relates to low blood flow
Cardiogenic
Hypovolemic
What shock relates to the distribution of blood
Septic
Anaphylactic
Neurogenic
Can edema be a cause of hypovolemia
yes with massive edema
What are the causes of cardiogenic shock
things that cause heart failure
So if cardiogenic shock is caused from HF then what would be a diagnositic test to assess for HF
using a swans gans cath in the pulmonary artery
How much fluid needs to be lost for hypovolemic shock to kick in
more than 30%
What are some causes of relative hypovolemia
Sepsis, burns, bowel obstruction
What happens in neurogenic shock
SNS is turned off so no more vasoconstriciton, increased HR, RR, etc.
What are some causes of neurogenic shock
spinal injury
spinal anesthesia
opioids
benzodiazepines
If the SNS is turned off in neurogenic shock then what takes over
the parasympathetic
So then if the parasymp has taken over in neurogenic shock then what manifestations would we likely see
bradycardia
hypotension
What is a big difference with the heart rate between hypovolemic/cardiogenic and neurogenic shock
the first two will increase HR while neuro decreases it
What happens in anaphylactic shock
massive vasodilation from histamine release so permeability increases
What is a distinctive mani of anaphylactic shock
angioedema
