Shock Patho Flashcards
Shock
- 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
Shock leads to
- 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
BP/CO/CVP
- BP = CO * SVR
- CO = SV * HR (L/min)
- CVP: pressure of bleed returning to heart (preload) through venous system
MAP
1/3SBP + 2/3DBP
- Average of SP and DP in arterial system
- Surrogate marker of tissue perfusion
SVR
- 80*(MAP-CVP)/CO
- Total resistance of circulatory system (heart must overcome)
Cardiogenic
- “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)
Cardiogenic Treatment
- Inotrope
- Vasopressor
- Cautious diuresis
- Correct underlying cause
Hypovolemic Shock
- “Hole in the bucket”
- Hemorrhage (whole blood), burn (plasma), emesis, diarrhea, DM (interstitial fluid)
Hypovolemic Shock Treatment
- Plug the whole and fill the bucket
- Hemorrhage => whole blood (PRBC + Platelets + fresh frozen plasma)
- Other volume loss: crystalloid or colloid
- Vasopressors to temposize
Neurogenic Shock
- “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)
Neurogenic Shock Treatment
- Fluids
- Vasopressors (increase vascular tone)
- Inotropes (bradycardia)
- Stabilize spine if injured
Anaphylactic Shock
- Distributive shock
- Allergic: immune response (IgE mediated)
- Vasodilation (decreased SVR) and vascular permeability (tissue edema/hypovolemia)
- Extra-vascular smooth muscle constriction (bronchoconstriction and laryngospasm)
Anaphylactic Shock Treatment
- Remove antigen/anti-vemon
- Glucocorticoids/antihistamine => blunt inflammatory response
- Fluid resuscitation => correct hypovolemia
- EPI => vasoconstriction and vasodilation
Septic Shock
- 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**
Septic Shock Treatment
- Remove/suppress infection
- Drain abscess, remove infected heart valve, debridement/amputation
- Antimicrobials
- Supportive care: fluid resuscitation, vasopressors, renal replacement therapy, mechanical ventilation
MODS
- Multi-organ dysfunction syndrome
- Results from sustained shock
- Triggers: severe trauma, major surgery, burns, shock, pancreatitis, AKI, ARDS
Cardiogenic Diagnostic Criteria
- Sustained hypotension (SBP < 90)
- Reduced Cl (<2.2) in presence of elevated PCWP (>18)
Cardiogenic Shock + STEMI Patient Treatments
- Revascularization PCI or CABG if due to pump failure
- Fibrinolytic therapy for those unstable for PCI/CABG
- Intra-aortic balloon pump for unstable after pharmacologic therapy
- Alternative LV assist devices for circulatory support in refractory cardiogenic shock
Progression of Sepsis
SIRS => Sepsis (infection)=> Severe Sepsis REDUNDANT (w/ organ dysfunction/tissue hypoperfusion)=> Septic Shock (hypotension or elevated lactate persisting after fluids)
SIRS Criteria
-Multifactorial: ischemia, infection, pancreatitis, trauma, burns
Criteria
- Temp >38.3 or <36
- HR >90
- RR > 20 or mechanical ventilation
- WBC >12000 or <4000 OR > 10% immature forms
qSOFA
- Quicker way to identify sepsis
- Must have 2 of the following: RR >=22, altered mentation, SBP =<100
Sepsis
- Life threatening organ dysfunction caused by deregulate host response
- SOFA >=2
- Scored by respiration, platelets, bilirubin, MAP/pressors, Coma scale, creatinine/urine output
- In-hospital mortality >10%
Hour-1 Bundle
- Sepsis Patient Care
- Measure lactate and repeat if elevated (>2)
- Blood cultures and broad spectrum antibiotics
- Fluids for hypotension or lactate >4
- Vasopressors for MAP >= 65
Septic Shock
- Subset of sepsis
- Circulatory, cellular, and metabolic abnormalities are associated with greater risk of mortality
- Vasopressor needed to maintain MAP of 65 and serum lactate >2 in absence of hypovolemia (already fluid corrected)
- 40% in-hospital mortality risk
