Shock-Exam 3 Flashcards
What is shock
•Inadequate tissue perfusion ànd decreased oxygen and nutrient delivery
-impaired cellular metabolism +/-
•Increased demand for oxygen and nutrients (hypermetabolic state)
•Decreased removal of cellular waste products
Describe the cellular changes associated with anerobic metabolism in shock states for LACTATE
Increased lactate»_space; metabolic acidosis»_space; increased oxy-Hgb dissociation
Describe the cellular changes associated with anerobic metabolism in shock states for PROTEIN METABOLISM
Increased protein metabolism»_space; increased muscle wasting»_space; decreased Resp and CV muscle strength
Increased protein metabolism»_space; decreased immunoglobulin»_space; decrease in immune response
Increase protein metabolism»_space; increased cellular edema > inflammatory response»_space; lysosomal enzymes OR clotting cascade
Describe the cellular changes associated with anerobic metabolism in shock states for ATP
Increase ATP»_space; Increase intracellular Na and H2O»_space; decrease circulating volume»_space; clotting cascade»_space; inflammatory response»_space; lysosomal enzymes
Definition of Cardiogenic Shock
inability of heart to pump adequate blood to tissues/organs
Etiology of Cardiogenic Shock
- Decreased contractility (pump failure): MI, cardiomyopathy, sepsis, myocarditis,
pericarditis, aneurysm, dysrhythmias, contusion, metabolic abnormalities, papillary muscle rupture - Impaired diastolic filling: dysrhythmias
- Obstruction: PE, cardiac tamponade, valve disorders, tumors, wall defects
Defining characteristics of Cardiogenic Shock
hypotension and hypoperfusions despite adequate LV filling pressure and intravascular volume
Unique manifestations of Cardiogenic Shock
Related to inadequate perfusion to heart and end organs
•Chest pain, dyspnea, faintness, impending doom
•Tachycardia, tachypnea, hypotension, JVD, measures of low CO2
•Signs of poor perfusion: mottling, cyanosis, low UOP
•Extra heart sounds, pulmonary edema, hypoxemia
•Elevated end organ lab values
Treatment: support the pump, improve relaxation, or remove obstruction
Definition of Hypovolemic Shock
Loss of whole blood, plasma, or interstitial fluids in large amounts
•Symptoms with ~15% intravascular volume loss
Etiology of Hypovolemic Shock
- Whole blood: hemorrhage
- Plasma: Burns
- Interstitial fluids: diaphoresis, DM, DI, emesis, diarrhea, diuresis
Patho of Cardiogenic Shock
involves a vicious spiral circle: ischemia causes myocardial dysfunction, which in turn aggravates myocardial ischemia. Myocardial stunning and/or hibernating myocardium can enhance myocardial dysfunction, thus, worsening the cardiogenic shock.
Unique manifestations of Hypovolemic Shock
- High SVR (systemic vascular resistance): pallor and cool extremities
- Thirst
- Oliguria
- Low preload (RA pressure or CVP) and tachycardia
•Treatment: fluid replacement
Definition of Neurogenic Shock
Widespread and massive vasodilation
•Related to imbalance in parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems
Etiology of Neurogenic Shock
-anything that stimulates parasympathetic activity and inhibits sympathetic activity
•Trauma – spinal cord or medulla
•Conditions that deprive medulla of oxygen or glucose
•Depressive drugs, anesthetic agents, severe emotional stress, pain
Defining Characteristics of Neurogenic Shock
- Hypotension with bounding peripheral pulses and flash cap refill
- Bradycardia
Patho of Hypovolemic Shock
shock results from significant and sudden blood or fluid losses within your body. Blood loss of this magnitude can occur because of: bleeding from serious cuts or wounds. bleeding from blunt traumatic injuries due to accidents.
Definition of Anaphylactic Shock
Inflammatory and vasodilatory reaction to an allergic antigen
Etiology of Anaphylactic Shock
-exposure to allergic antigen
Anaphylactoid type – cold, exercise and medication contaminants
Defining Characteristics of Anaphylactic Shock
- *similar to neurogenic shock with vasodilation, peripheral pooling and tissue edema
- Bronchoconstriction
Unique manifestations of Anaphylactic Shock
- CV: hypotension, diaphoresis, pallor
- Resp: SOB, cough, rhinorrhea, throat tightening, wheezing
- GI: N/V/D, abdominal pain
- Cutaneous: erythema, pruritis, urticaria, angioedema
- ** ominous - anxiety, confusion, impaired mentation
Treatment: epi to stop mast cell degranulation, fluid resuscitation, antihistamines, steroids
Patho of Neurogenic Shock
combination of both primary and secondary injuries that lead to loss of sympathetic tone and thus unopposed parasympathetic response driven by the vagus nerve. Consequently, patients suffer from instability in blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature regulation
