the systemic response to trauma Flashcards
what is shock?
poor perfusion of organs
inadequate ____ delivery at the tissue level makes ____ _____ difficult to impossible, in shock
- oxygen
- aerobic metabolism
types of shock
- hypovolemic
- cardiogenic
- neurogenic
- septic
immediate physiologic changes in shock
hypovolemic hemorrhagic shock
- decreased perfusion of target tissues
- myocardial dysfunction (decrease pumping efficiency)
- decreased oxygen delivery
- increased peripheral vascular resistance
CO (increases or decreases) with severe hypovolemia
decreases
peripheral vascular resistance PVR must ____ to maintain blood pressure and for perfusion of heart and brain
increase
systolic BP will remain normal as long as the ________ are adequate to compensate for the loss of blood colume
compensatory mechanisms
- increase HR
- increase PVR
what percentage of blood volume must be lost before SBP changes significantly?
30-40%
what is the lethal triad?
sequela of hemorrhage in trauma patients
components of lethal triad
- acidosis
- hypothermia
- coagulopathy
acidosis in trauma works synergistically with _____ to worsen coagulation
hypothermia
pH < 7.2 associated with
- vasodilation
- hypotension
- decreased CO
- decreased cardiac contractility
- increased dysrhythmias
administration of sodium bicarb in acidotic patient
won’t improve survival, they are acidotic because losing blood, so treat that cause
independent predictor off mortality after major trauma
core temp <35 C
loss dilution
from bleeding and fluid resuscitation - alters platelet function and coagulation factors
