Shock/Mods Flashcards
Adequate blood flow to tissues and cells requires: (3)
- effective cardiac pump
- adequate vasculature/circulatory system
- sufficient blood volume
shock is essentially…….
decreased tissue perfusion
4 types of shock
- hypovolemic
- cardiogenic
- obstructive
- distributive
examples of causes of hypovolemic shock. (3)
bleeding, dehydration, diarrhea
examples of causes of cardiogenic shock.(2)
MI,HF
examples of causes of distributive shock.(3)
-septic, neurogenic, anaphylactic
examples of causes of obstructive shock. (3)
- PE
- tension pneumothorax
- cardiac tamponade
What are the three stages of shock?
- compensatory
- progressive
- irreversible
Acid Base Balance for each stage of shock
- Compensatory –> respiratory alkalosis
- progressive –> metabolic acidosis
- irreversible –> profound acidosis
Compensatory stage clinical manifestations (6)
- normal BP
- increased lactic acid (metabolic acidosis)
- increased RR, deep respirations (compensatory respiratory alkalosis)
- anxious/confused
- skin is cool/clammy
- decreased UO
Progressive stage Clinical Manifestations: respiratory decompensation (4)
- rapid, shallow breaths, crackles
- pulmonary hypoperfusion and hypoxemia
- pulmonary capillaries leak: pulmonary edema and diffusion abnormalities, alveolar collapse
- can progress to ARDS
Progressive stage Clinical Manifestations: cardiovascular decompensation IMPAIRED PUMP!!! (3)
- tachycardia
- low co
- MI
Progressive stage Clinical Manifestations: Neurological decompensation (3)
- decreased cerebral perfusion, hypoxia
- mental status changes
- lethargy –> loss of consciousness
Progressive stage Clinical Manifestations: renal decompensation (3)
- MAP < 65; decreased GFR
- AKI
- oliguira
Progressive stage Clinical Manifestations: hepatic decompensation (3)
- decreased blood flow to liver: impaired liver metabolism
- increased lactic acid and ammonia
- increased billirubin: jaundice
Progressive stage Clinical Manifestations: GI decompensation and ischemia (3)
- stress ulcer; risk for GI bleed
- GI necrosis: bloody diarrhea
- bacteria toxins enter blood stream: sepsis
Progressive stage Clinical Manifestations: hematologic decompensation (2)
- cytokines activate clotting cascade
- DIC
Irreversible or Refractory stage clinical manifestations (6)
- severe organ damage: no response to treatment
- acute metabolic acidosis
- reserves of ATP depleted –> no cell metabolism causing cell damage
- respiratory system damage: no adequate oxygenation/ventilation despite vent support
- CV system damage: no adequate MAP despite vasopressors
- multiple organ dysfunction progressing to complete organ failure
Shock Assessment: CNS early and late stages
- Early –> anxiety/restlessness
- Late –> coma
Shock assessment: CV system early and late (BP, HR)
Early BP and HR–> BP is normal or slightly elevated and HR is > 100
Late BP and HR –> BP is < 90 and HR < 60
BP and SHOCK (3)
hypotension: SBP less than 90 mmHg
if hypertensive: decrease of more than 40 mmHg from baseline
Map < 65
Shock assessment: respiratory early and late
early –> rapid, deep respirations, hyperventilation (RR > 20), respiratory alkalosis (compensating for metabolic acidosis)
Late –> shallow respirations, poor gas exchange
Shock assessment: renal system (early and late)
Early –> sodium retention, water reabsorption, Oliguria < 0.5 ml/kg/hr, increased BUN, creatinine WNL
Late –> AKI with decreased GFR
Shock Assessment: GI system (early and late)
early –> decreased bowel sounds, distention, Nausea, constipation
late –> damage to microvilli causing bacteria translocation increasing risk of infection
Shock assessment: Hepatic (4)
- altered liver enzymes
- clotting disorders
- inability to metabolize meds
- increased susceptibility to infection
Shock assessment: hematological
DIC
