Trauma Flashcards
1
Q
Definition of shock
A
inadequate tissue perfusion
2
Q
Cardiogenic Shock
A
Pump failure
3
Q
What are the indications for Norepinephrine
A
Severe Hypotension . MAP <60
4
Q
Norepinephrine Action
A
Alpha receptor stimulant causing vasoconstriction and increased vascular resistance
5
Q
Norepinephine Dose
A
8mcg/min titrated upward in 2mcg/min increments up to 20 mcg/min
6
Q
Side effects of norepinephrine
A
HTN, decreased peripheral perfusion
7
Q
Penetrating torso trauma target SBP
A
80
8
Q
other shock definition
A
Cellular hypoxia due to a sustained perfusion deficit leading to anaerobic metabolism; metabolic acidosis and organ failure
