Shock Simulation cases Flashcards
Normal CO value
4-8 L/min
Normal Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR) value
700-1600 Dynes x sec/cm^5
Mild Hypovolemic Shock presentation (
- Cool extremities
- increased capillary refill time
- diaphoresis
- collapsed veins
- anxiety
Moderate Hypovolemic Shock presentation (20-40% blood loss)
same as mild Hypovolemic Shock presentation plus:
- Tachycardia
- tachypnea
- oliguria
- postural changes
Severe Hypovolemic Shock presentation ( > 40% blood loss)
Same as Moderate Hypovolemic Shock presentation plus:
- hemodynamic instability
- marked tachycardia
- hypotension
- mental status deterioration/coma
Receptors which detect effects of hypotension/hypovolemia?
- High-pressure baroreceptors
- Low-pressure baroreceptors
- Renal Juxtaglomerular apparatus
- Central and peripheral chemoreceptors
Autonomic response to hypotension effect on sympathetics/parasympathetics?
↑ sympathetic
↓ parasympathetic
Autonomic response to hypotension effect on effectors?
- ↑ HR (nodal cells)
- ↑ contractility (↑ [Ca2+]i in contractile myocytes)
- ↑ TPR (VSMC contraction; veno- and vasoconstriction) -> Attempt re-establish MAP
- ↑ Circulating epinephrine (Adrenal medulla)
- ↑ Renin (Granular cells in the renal JXG apparatus)
- ↑ Sweat gland activity (Sympathetic cholinergic stimulation; clammy extremities)
What effect will hypotension/hypovolemia have on humoral regulation of vascular tone:
ADH/AVP?
↑ ADH/AVP
↑ vasoconstriction
What effect will hypotension/hypovolemia have on humoral regulation of vascular tone: ANG II?
- ↑ ANG II by activation of RAAS
- ↑ vasoconstriction
- Sympathetic stimulation of juxtaglomerular granular cells –>renin
- Renal vasoconstriction –> ↓ renal pressure –> ↑ renin
How can loss of blood volume be corrected?
- Renal fluid conservation
- Stimulation of thirst –> water intake
- Net capillary reabsorption (Starling’s forces)
“Transcapillary refill”
Which factors promote renal retention of Na+ and H2O?
- ↑ Sympathetic activity
- ↑ ANG II
- ↑ Aldosterone
- ↑ Anti-diuretic hormone/Arginine Vasopressin
How does sympathetic activity promote renal retention of Na+ and H2O?
↑ Sympathetic activity
- Renal vasoconstriction (↓ RBF) –>↓ filtration rate –> ↓ Na+ excretion
- ↑ Renin (Activation of RAAS)
- Direct stimulation of Na+ reabsorption by renal tubule cells
How does ANG II/aldosterone promote renal retention of Na+ and H2O?
↑ ANG II:
↑ Aldosterone
↑ ADH/AVP secretion
↑ Thirst stimulation
↑ Aldosterone:
↑ Na+ reabsorption
How does ADH/Vasopressin promote renal retention of Na+ and H2O?
↑ Anti-diuretic hormone/Arginine Vasopressin:
↑ by ANG II and osmoreceptors
↑ H2O reabsorption
Transcapillary Refill: correction for volume loss
- Net reabsorption of fluid: from interstitial fluid capillaries
- Reabsorption of interstitial fluid helps replace lost blood volume
- Result: initial hemodilution
Effect of normal Pc on capillaries?
- net filtration
Effect of initial hypotension after hemorrhage on capillaries?
- Net reabsorption
Effect on capillaries following compensation for volume loss (↑↑↑ arteriolar & ↑ venular resistance):
- Net reabsorption
Hypovolemic Shock:
- Tachycardia
- Hypotension
- Generalized arteriolar vasoconstriction & venoconstriction
- Oliguria
Negative-feedback (compensatory) mechanisms for Hypovolemic Shock:
- Baroreceptor reflexes
- Chemoreceptor reflexes
- Transcapillary reabsorption of interstitial fluid
- Renal conservation of salt and water
