Shock & Exercise - Quiz 11 Flashcards
What is Circlatory Shock?
Not enough blood flow in the body to where tissues are damange d/t lack of oxygen & nutrient delivery - gets worse once it begins
What is the “Last-Ditch Stand”
When the brain lacks O2 & increased CO2, it activates extreme stimulation of SNS as last effort to keep the MAP from falling too low
What Causes Shock?
- Shock is from inadequate Cardiac Output
- Cardiac Abrnomalities effecting pump
- Factors decreasing venous return
How can you have Circulatory Shock even with Normal Cardiac Output?
Excessive Metabolic Rate
&
Abnormal Tissue Perfusion
How much blood can be loss before going into Hemorrhagic/Hypovolemic shock?
> 10% will causes decreases in Cardiac Output & MAP
40-45% Total blood Loss = Cardiac Output & Map of Zero
What happens during the Sympathetic Reflex to shock?
- Arterioles constrict = Increased PVR
- Veins constrict = adequate venous return
- Increased HR
How is blood flow to the Brain & Heart affected by the Sympathetic Reflex during shock?
No Constriction in Brain or Heart
Autoregulation maintains Blood flow as long as MAP > 70 mmHg
What are the Compensatory Mechanisms in Hemorrhage?
- Baroreceptors
- Chemoreceptors
- Cerebral Ischemic Response
- Endogenous Vasoconstrictors
- Reabsorption of Tissue Fluids
- Salt and Water Conservation
How do Baroreceptors work?
Located in Carotid Sinus & Aortic Arch
Senses pressure changes and alters CNS, HR & Contractility accordingly.
How do the Peripheral Chemoreceptors respond to Severe Hypotension?
Decreased organ blood flow leads to acidosis activating the chemoreceptors.
Further increases SNS response & respiration to increase BP
How does the Reabsorption of Tissue Fluids happen in shock?
Hypotension & Vasoconstriction causes a drop in Hydrostatic Pressure and net fluid reabsorption from interstitium into capillaries up to 1L/hr
Can cause Hemodilution = ↓Hct
How does the Kidney come into play during Shock?
- Kidneys release more
- Angiotensin II - Vasoconstriction
- Aldersterone - Salt & Water Reabsorption to increase blood volume
- Stimulates Vasopressin Release
- Important for long-term recovery
What is Circulatory Decompensation or Progressive Shock?
When the body’s compensation mechanisms is not enough to maintain a sufficent MAP to perfuse organs and leads to irreversible shock where everything fails.
What is Cardiogenic Shock?
Poor blood flow to the heart from hypotension causes myocardial hypoxia & acidosis, which depress its function & cause arrythmias
What is Symptathetic Escape?
Buildup of tissue metabolic vasodilators impairs sympathetic vasoconstriction causing more hypotension & hypoperfusion
