Shock & Fluids Flashcards
What is fluid maintenance based on?
patient weight
How is total fluid intake calculated?
(100ml x 10kg) + (50ml x 10kg) + (20ml x Xkg)
how do you calculate total maintenance fluid rate?
TFI/ 24hrs
why may we want to increase fluids?
dehydration
shock
why may we want to decrease fluids?
hypertension
edema
increase in intercranial pressure
what is the acceptable range for urine output?
1-2 ml/kg/hr
when should you notify the physician for urine output?
<1 or > 5 ml/kg/hr
How do you calculate urine output?
urine output/ patient weight / how many hours for that amount of output
ml/kg/hr
how much and how do you deliver a bolus
10-20ml/kg through IV or intra osseous (into bone marrow)
Define shock
when the organs and tissues of the body are not receiving adequate flow of blood which in turn deprives tissues and organs of oxygen
what does shock lead to?
decreased intravascular volume
How does shock lead to decreased intravascular volume?
- decreases CO and SV due to vasodilation and 3rd spacing
- hypoxia and acidosis develops
- adrenergic and renal compensations
What are the compensatory mechanisms for shock?
- increase in HR and BP
- increase in respirations
- increase in catecholamine and cortisol
- renin > angiotensin > aldosterone
- ADH > H2O and Na retention
what is decompensation of shock? and what may present?
continued intravascular volume depletion
- can present with: DIC, hypotension, cellular death, multi-organ death, cardiac or resp arrest
What are the 4 main causes (etiology) of shock?
- distributive
- hypovolemic
- cardiogenic
- obstructive
what do each of the causes of shock have in common?
one or more of the physiologic principles that govern oxygen delivery or consumption is disturbed
What happens in the early/compensated stages of shock?
Vital organ function is sustained by intrinsic compensatory mechanisms
What happens in the decompensated stage of shock?
circulatory failure overcomes compensatory efforts: results in tissue hypoxia, metabolic acidosis, leading to multi-organ dysfunction
What happens in the profound shock stage?
Imminent cardiac and/or respiratory arrest
Irreversible organ damage due to prolonged ischemia
What is this stage of stock with the cardiac system?
Mild tachycardia, weak distal pulses strong central pulses
early
