Shock - SRS Flashcards
What is shock?
•The inability of the body to deliver adequate amounts of O2 to the cell or for the cell to utilize it.
How is shock manifested metabolically?
•shock is manifested by the cell shifting from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism
What happens to body pH levels in shock?
Metabolic acidosis arises due to accumulation of lactic acid by products of anaerobic metabilism
What are the five types of shock?
- Hypovolemic
- cardiogenic
- extracardiac/pbstructive
- distributive
- dissociative
What leads to hypovolemic shock?
Blood or fluid loss, both leading to decreased circulating blood volume, diastolic filling pressure and volume
What are four causes of hypovolemic shock?
- Hemorrhagic
- Fluid depletion
- Interstitial fluid redistribution
- Increased vascular capacitance
What leads to cardiogenic shock?
- Myopathic - Infarcts
- Myocardial contusion
- Mechanical - valve failure etc.
- Arrythmias
What leads to extracardiac/obstructive shock?
Obstruction to flow in the cardiovascular circuit that leads to inadequate diastolic filling or decreased systolic function because of increased afterload.
What are examples of things that can cause extracardiac/obstructive shock?
Impaired diastolic filling
Increased intrathoracic pressure
decreased cardiac compliance
Impaired systolic contraction
Describe distributive shock.
(sorry)
Arterial and venous dilation leads to a decrease in preload with decreased, normal or elevated cardiac output, depending on the presence of myocardial depression.
Inflammatorry causes produce microcirculatory dysfunction, hypotension and multiple organ system dysfunction without a decrease in cardiac output.
What kind of shock will the following likely lead to?
Sepsis (bacterial, fungal, viral, rickettsial
Toxic shock syndrome
Anaphylactic anaphylactoid
neurogenic (spinal shock)
adrenal crisis
thyroid storm
Distributive
What kind of shock am I describing?
Impairment of oxygen utilization or impairment of the cellular machinery.
What kind of sepsis would these lead to?
Toxic stuff - nitroprusside, cyanide, bretylium
End stage sepsis
Catecholamine toxicity
Distributive
Describe what you would see for the following items in hypovolemic shock:
- CVP and PCWP (central venous pressure & pulmonary capillary wedge pressure)
- Cardiac output
- systemic vascular resistance
- venous O2 saturation
- Decrease
- Decrease
- Increase
- Decrease
Describe what you would see for the following items in cardiogenic shock:
- CVP and PCWP (central venous pressure & pulmonary capillary wedge pressure)
- Cardiac output
- systemic vascular resistance
- venous O2 saturation
- Increase
- Decrease
