Shock Flashcards
Clinical end points used to Identify shock
- SBP < 90mmHg
- MAP < 65mmHg
- Elevated lactate > 4mmol/l
Impaired O2 utilization
- Anaerobic metabolism takes over
- Much less effective than aerobic metabolism
Shock is driven by what
- Reduced cardiac output (CO)
- Reduced systemic vascular resistance (SVR)
Cardiogenic Shock Cause
-Problem with the pump
Cardiogenic Shock Treatment
- Make it PUMP
- Vasopressor
- Inotrope
- Diuresis (Cautious)
- AVOID Beta blockers and calcium channel blockers (-inotropes)
Hypovolemic shock cause
-Hole in the bucket
Hypovolemic shock treatment
- Stop bleeding/fluid loss
- Fluids (LR, NS or D5W)
- Vasopressors
Neurogenic shock cause
-Vasodilation with out compensatory tachycardia
Neurogenic shock treatment
- Fluids
- Vasopressors
- Inotropes
Anaphylactic shock (distributive shock) Cause
- Allergic
- Immune/ inflammatory response
Anaphylactic shock (Distributive shock) treatment
- Steroids
- Antihistamines
- Fluids
- Epinephrine
- Antivenom if available
Septic shock (distributive shock) cause
- Bacteremia
- Endo/exotoxins
- LPS gram negative
- Gram positive bugs
Septic shock (distributive shock) treatment
- remove/ suppress the infection
- Fluids
- Vasopressors
- Abx
- Source control
Sustained shock can lead to what
-Multi organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS)
Primary MODS
- Damage to organ system directly related to a specific insult
- Usually due to trauma or thermal injury
Secondary MODS
- Exaggerated response of immune system to secondary insults
- Leading to further organ dysfunction and worsening outcomes
