Coagulopathy, acidosis and hypothermia (CAH)

52
Q

Why does trauma lead to coagulopathy?

A

Bc the bleeding consumes the clotting factors

53
Q

A

Give packed red cells in a 1:1:1 ratio with plasma and platelets

54
Q

What is pathognomonic of MI on an ECG?

A
  • ST elevation (bottom lead shows tombstone ST elevation)
55
Q

How do you treat MI shock?

A
  • Oxygen (if hypoxic?)
  • Inotrope to improve SV e.g. adrenaline
  • Cath lab
  • Aspirin
56
Q

What will you see on an echo of someone with a major PE?

A

The LV will be smaller than the RV → RV abnormally big so LV is smaller in contrast

57
Q

Which ventricle is more sensitive?

A

RV

58
Q

How does a major PE lead to shock?

A

Pressure on RH → RV decompensation → increased RV volume → decreased LV preload → decreased CO

59
Q

What do you give to treat a PE?

A
  • Thrombolysis (bc decompensated)

- If not shock → anticoagulants, heparin

60
Q

What is neurogenic shock (rare) caused by?

A

Compression of the spinal cord e.g. after fall and unable to move limbs

61
Q

What happens in neurogenic shock?

A

1) Spinal cord injury above T5 that interacts with both the parasympathetic and sympathetic system
2) Stimulates parasympathetic/inhibits sympathetic activity of vascular smooth muscle → widespread and massive vasodilation

62
Q

What happens in spinal shock?

A

Injury to spinal cord → complete weakness, areflexia, lack of sensation below/at the lower cord/level of injury

63
Q

What type of shock can pneumonia commonly lead to?

A

Septic shock

64
Q

How would you treat a patient with septic shock resulting from pneumonia?

A
  • Antibiotics (treat cause)
  • Give fluid bolus to increase preload
  • Increase BP by increasing SVR with medication (vasoconstriction)
