Shock and Eye stuff Flashcards
What is the definition of shock?
Failure to deliver and/or adequately use oxygen
What are the four classifications of shock?
Hypovolemic, septic/inflammatory, cardiogenic, neurogenic
Describe the following in shock: 1. Blood Pressure 2. Heart Rate 3. Respiratory Rate 4. Urine output 5. Metabolism 6. O2 sat
- BP: under 110 sys. “brachial”
- sinus tachycardia - over 90 bpm
- RR: Under 7 or over 29
- UO: less than 1/2 cc/kg/hr
- metabolic acidemia
- O2 sat - under 90 if under 50, 80 for 51-70, 70 for over 70
What occurs with preload for hypovolemic shock?
decreased pre-load, which leads to inadequate CO
What are some causes of hypovolemic shock?
Bleeding, vomiting and diarrhea, adrenal insufficiency, diabetes insipidus, dehydration,
What are the classic signs of hypovolemic shock?
hypotension, tachycardia, MS change, oliguria, diminished pulses, narrowed pulse pressure
How do you treat hypovolemic shock?
ABCs, IVF (crystalloid 20mL/kg) then colloiod in a 3:1 ratio
Which patients don’t have a typical spike in HR with hypovolemic shock?
Patients on Beta blockers, those with spinal shock, athletes
How much blood is lost in each of the 4 stages of hypovolemic shock?
Stage 1 - 750 mL (15%)
Stage 2 - 750 - 1500 mL (15-30%)
Stage 3 - 1500 - 2000 mL (30-40%)
Stage 4 - above 2000 mL (above 40%)
What stage of hypovolemic shock does blood pressure change?
Stage 3 - systolic blood pressure drops to below 100 mmHg.
How do the ABCs change with trauma?
Go to CABs, see if there is any hemorrhage, check cap refill, etc.
Describe Stage 2 of hypovolemic shock
750-1500 mL blood loss CO can no longer be maintained by vasoconstriction Tachycardia (over 100 bpm) Tachypnea Narrowed pulse pressure Delayed cap refiill UO reduced to 20 - 30 mL/hour
Describe Stage 3 of hypovolemic shock
1500 - 2000 mL blood loss First major change in BP, sys. falls to below 100 Tachycardia of 120 bpm Alteration in mental status Sweating with pale skin UO - 20 mL/hr
What is GCS?
Eyes: 1) Closed 2) open in response to pain 3) open in response to voice 4) spontaneously open
Verbal: 1) No speaking 2) gurgling 3) Inappropriate words 4) Disoriented, confused 5) Speaking clearly
Movement: 1) No Movement 2) extension in response to pain 3) flexion in response to pain 4) pull away from painful stimuli 5) localizes painful stimuli 6) obeys commands
The clues of Stage 1 of shock include:
750 mL loss of blood, change in pallor of skin with compensated vasoconstriction, blood pressure maintained. Slight anxiety.
