Shock and MODS Flashcards
definition of shock
state of cellular ad tissue hypoxia due to either reduced oxygen delivery, increased oxygen consumption, inadequate oxygen utilization, or a combination of these processes
oxygen delivery (DO2)
total amount of oxygen delivered to the tissues per minutes
factors that affect oxygen delivery
hemoglobin
cardiac output
arterial oxygen saturation
oxygen consumption (VO2)
total amount of oxygen removed from the blood due to aerobic metabolism
factors that affect how oxygen is consumed
fever
inflammation
hyperthyroidism
adrenergic drugs
increased muscular activity
seizures
pain
vent weaning
shivering
oxygen extraction
how cells extract oxygen from blood
based upon energy needs
the amount of oxygen uploaded into tissues
oxygen extraction ratio (O2ER)
ratio of O2 consumption
(VO2)/(DO2)
cardiac O2ER
> 60%
hepatic O2ER
45-55%
renal O2ER
<15%
venous oxygen saturation (SVO2)
measures the amount of oxygen returned to the right side of the heart after the organs/tissues have extracted O2
measured from the pulmonary artery
what does low SVO2 indicate
the supply of O2 is not meeting tissue or cellular demands
increased oxygen consumption
what does high SVO2 indicate
inadequate oxygen extraction from the tissues
SVO2 of a healthy body
70%
contributors to low SVO2
low hemoglobin
low cardiac output
heart failure
pulmonary emboli
increased oxygen demand
contributors to high SVO2
sepsis (high CO, low extraction)
acidosis
hypothermia
excessive use of vasoactive drugs
central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2)
measures blood return from the upper body (head and upper extremities)
from the jugular or subclavian vein
values slightly lower than mixed SVO2
normal range of ScvO2
65-75%
activities that increase VO2 consumption
nursing assessment
positioning
dressing change
bed bath
restlessness and agitation
weighing patient on sling bed scale
visitors
causes of abnormally high O2ER
decreased oxygen delivery or increased consumption
hypoxia
anemia
shock states
shivering
MODS
what does a low O2ER suggest
increased oxygen delivery but decreased oxygen consumption
malnutrition
hyperventilation
hypometabolism
sedation
hypothyroidism
paralysis
objective parameters of shock
arterial pH (7.35-7.45)
serum lactate (>2 mmol/L)
base deficit: the amount of base required to titrate 1 liter of arterial blood back to normal
procalcitonin for septic shock and MODS
4 shock classifications
cardiogenic
hypovolemic
obstructive
distributive: septic, neurogenic, anaphylactic
