Shock Patho Flashcards
1
Q
Shock
A
- Many mechanisms each with their own treatment
- All hypo-perfusion to tissues => anaerobic metab
- Hemodynamic Instability: SBP < 90, MAP < 65
- Signs of poor tissue perfusion/anaerobic metabolism: elevated lactate > 4
2
Q
Shock leads to
A
- Impaired Cellular metabolism: burn ATP more than remake, increased Na+ in cell pulls water from extracellular, decreased circulatory volumes
- Impaired glucose utilization: increased cortisol, GH, and catecholamines, skeletal/cardiac muscle wasting, hyperglycemia/insulin resistance
3
Q
BP/CO/CVP
A
- BP = CO * SVR
- CO = SV * HR (L/min)
- CVP: pressure of bleed returning to heart (preload) through venous system
4
Q
MAP
A
1/3SBP + 2/3DBP
- Average of SP and DP in arterial system
- Surrogate marker of tissue perfusion
5
Q
SVR
A
- 80*(MAP-CVP)/CO
- Total resistance of circulatory system (heart must overcome)
6
Q
Cardiogenic
A
- “Problems with pump”
- Decompensated HF, MI, PAH, massive PE, dysrhythmias, etc.
- Compensatory INCREASE in SVR further reduces CO
- Treatment: make it pump! (already failing heart has poor outcome)
7
Q
Cardiogenic Treatment
A
- Inotrope
- Vasopressor
- Cautious diuresis
- Correct underlying cause
8
Q
Hypovolemic Shock
A
- “Hole in the bucket”
- Hemorrhage (whole blood), burn (plasma), emesis, diarrhea, DM (interstitial fluid)
9
Q
Hypovolemic Shock Treatment
A
- Plug the whole and fill the bucket
- Hemorrhage => whole blood (PRBC + Platelets + fresh frozen plasma)
- Other volume loss: crystalloid or colloid
- Vasopressors to temposize
10
Q
Neurogenic Shock
A
- “Profound vasodilation and lack of compensatory tachycardia”
- Too much parasympathetic => bradycardia
- Too little sympathetic of vascular muscle => decreased SVR
- Usually spinal cord injury (high T-spine or C-spine)
11
Q
Neurogenic Shock Treatment
A
- Fluids
- Vasopressors (increase vascular tone)
- Inotropes (bradycardia)
- Stabilize spine if injured
12
Q
Anaphylactic Shock
A
- Distributive shock
- Allergic: immune response (IgE mediated)
- Vasodilation (decreased SVR) and vascular permeability (tissue edema/hypovolemia)
- Extra-vascular smooth muscle constriction (bronchoconstriction and laryngospasm)
13
Q
Anaphylactic Shock Treatment
A
- Remove antigen/anti-vemon
- Glucocorticoids/antihistamine => blunt inflammatory response
- Fluid resuscitation => correct hypovolemia
- EPI => vasoconstriction and vasodilation
14
Q
Septic Shock
A
- Distributive Shock
- Bacteremia => endo/ecotoxin, lipopolysaccharides gram negative, peptidoglycan, lipoteichoic acid gram positive
- Extremely complex host response designed to eliminate invasive organism: dysregulation and overactive immune response lead to host morbidity/mortality
- *Once positive feedback loops are established, extremely difficult to restore homeostatic function**
15
Q
Septic Shock Treatment
A
- Remove/suppress infection
- Drain abscess, remove infected heart valve, debridement/amputation
- Antimicrobials
- Supportive care: fluid resuscitation, vasopressors, renal replacement therapy, mechanical ventilation
