Shock Module Flashcards
When does shock occur?
When the CV system fails to serve the body’s needs
What does shock result in?
Impairment of cellular metabolism and tissue function
What is the common characteristic of all types of shock?
Decreased oxygen delivery or increased tissue demand for oxygen
What determines O2 delivery? (5)
- BP
- SVR
- CO
- SV
- O2 content
BP =
CO X SVR
SVR=
(Viscosity x length)/radius^4
CO
SV XHR
SV =
preload, afterload, contractility
O2 content =
partial pressure of oxygen, [hemoglobin]
What helps move oxygen from air to blood to tissues?
differences in partial pressure
What increases O2 demand? (5)
- increased BMR
- infection/fever
- increased work of organs
- agitation or pain
- increased workload of heart
Impaired O2 delivery will result in ___
shift from aerobic respiration to anaerobic respiration
What are the 4 different stages of response to shock?
- initial stage
- compensatory stage
- progressive stage
- refractory stage
What does the initial stage of shock entail?
cellular alterations as a result of decreased O2 delivery and utilization (no clinical symptoms are evident except for elevated lactate levels
What does the compensatory stage of shock entail?
neural, hormonal, chemical responses designed to improve tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery
