Shock & Atheroma Flashcards
what is shock
complex syndrome with a variety of aetiologies
what does show causes result in
acute circ fail wth hypotension and inadequate tissue perfusion
what are some major types of shock
hypovolaemic septic cariogenic anaphylactic neurogenic
what is chemical shock
acute pancreatitis
acute peritonitis from perforated gastric ulcer
what is hypovolaemic shock
reached blood volume
- haemorrhage
- burns
- comit
what are the effects of hypovolaemic shock
inadequate circ vol
susceptible influence of age and prior health
elderly and hypertensive pt
what is max loss no symptoms blood loss
10% asymptomatic
rapid loss of half blood volume lead to coma and death
what is septic shock
severe infection
gm -ve bacilli = endotoxins
LPS - bind and activates macrophages and ends cells
set off TNF enzyme cascade
wha are the effects of septic shock
peripheral vasodilation tissues under perfused injury end cells leak fluid oedema activated coagulation disseminated intravascular coagulation
what do endotoxins do
activate macrophages and ends cells and trigger roads pathways
what is acrdiogenic shock
due tos every acute reduction in CO duet pump fail
decreased CO leads to
dec tissue perfusion
hypoxic injury
circ effects
metab effects - meat acidosis, hypoxia, distress syndrome
what happens in hypoxia cellular level
increase in anaerobic glycolysis lead to acidosis dec energy supply dec activity of mem incorrect Na K levels in cells cells swell
what is anaphylactic shock
type 1 hypersensitivity
massive asa cell degranulation causes release vasodilators and perm factors
what is example of neurogenic shock
acute brain or spinal cord injury
lack tissue perfusion
what are th compensatory mechs
early stages mech which maintain good flow to vital organs - CNS - heart -kidneys reused perfusion in other tissues
what is example of compensation mech
increased simp activity - fight/flight
rennin angiotensin-aldosterone system
CNS, heart and kidney auto regulate their own perfusion
if tissue perfusion not restored
ischaemia cases multiorgna fail and ultimate death
- fluid into pt to maintain adequate tissue perfusion
result shock in lung
diffuse (widespread) alveolar injury
- ARDS
result shock in heart
ischaemia - inefficient blood to pump
failure
result of shock input
ischaemia - segmented areas
endotoxaemia - release endotoxins
result of shocking adrenal organs
initially stimulated (simp activity) then failing
result of shock in bain and kidneys
initially auto regulate blood supply
later loss of consciousness and acute renal fail
shocked pt shows
restless
confused
pale - blood diverted away
cold
sweaty
rapid pulse - CV system increase to get blood around
weak pulse - not enough blood lack perfusion
low BP
increased rate and depth - try to compensate
drowsy - comatose
