1
Q

What is shock?

A
  • cellular and tissue hypoxia due to either reduced oxygen delivery
  • increased oxygen consumption, inadequate oxygen utilisation,
  • a combination of these processes..

Q

How may hypovolemic shock occur?

A
  • acute hemorrhage
  • severe dehydration (BURNS)
  • volume depletion > reduced SVR
  • reduced pre-load > reduced CO

Q

Why may distributive shock occur?

A

Due to disruption of normal vascular autoregulation, and profound vasodilatation.

Poor perfusion – despite increased cardiac output

Regional perfusion differences

Alteration of oxygen extraction

Q

Is an inflammatory response seen with shock?

A
  • activation of complement cascade
  • cytokine release (Ili-/ TNF-a)
  • platelet activatingn factors
  • adhesion molecules
  • endothelial derived mediators
  • imbalance between antioxidants and oxidants

Q

What hemodynamic changes are seen with shock?

A
  • maldistribution of blood flow
  • DIC
  • reperfusion injuries
  • inappropriate activation of coaglation syst.
  • microcirculatory abnormalities– AV shunting.

What to monitor clinically with shock?

A 
Urine output 
Neurological 
Biochemical (acidosis/ lactate levels) 
P.e : pale/ cold skin/ CRT -prolonged 
PRESSURE -- cuff/ central venous pr./ pulmonary art. pre./ pulmonary capillary WEDGE pressure

Q

How to manage SHOCK?

A

prompt dx/ rx is critical

  • ABC
  • estblishing reliable, WIDE bore IV access and resuscitate
  • –identify and TREAT underlying cause

Q

What is the minimal acceptable BP?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • how much ever, as long as the pt is awake

- —-70-80 systolic !

17
Q

Why are shocked pts MORE susceptible to pulmonary edema with regards to fluids ?

Study These Flashcards
A

microvascular dysfxn

18
Q

What is fluid challenge?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • rapid administration of fluid (with assessment of response)
  • —-300-500ml over 10 mins
  • – have a target in mind
19
Q

What are the choices for fluids, in a fluid challnege?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Crystalloids (saline) –SAFE/cheap; BUT RAPIDLY lost ot extravascular spaces
  2. Colloids–cheap….BUT MAY CAUSE ANAPHYLAXIS
  3. Blood - oxygen carrying capacity (stays in circulation) —-scarce/ multiple risks
20
Q

Why are fluids given to a pt?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • to incr. pre-load
  • rapid fluid replacement
    0 balance RAPID volume replacement and risk of fluid iverload
21
Q

What are the goals when managing oxygen saturation?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • falling lactate levels

- SvO2 ; to estimate balance between supply and demand

22
Q

What is given if fluid resuscitation fails?

Study These Flashcards
A

drugs rx

  • ADRENALINE
  • Noradrenaline (1st choice)
  • VASOPRESSIN
  • dopamine— causes MORE deaths in sepsis
  • dopexamine
23
Q

If drugs fails, what is dones next for fluid resuscitations?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • MECHANICAL support
  • balloon pumps
  • L-VADs
  • R-vads
  • –in severe cases: VA-ECMO
24
Q

How to manage hypovolemic shock?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • asses bleeding (estimate volume loss/ speed on ongoign loss)
  • –source
  • temporisation (tourniquet’s)
  • damage limitata resuscitation
  • damage limitation surgeyr
25
What are the risks of resuscitation?
- volume delivered - extr-vascular overload - s/c edema obvious - "WET" LUNGS (ARDS/ bowel edema)
26
Whatshoudl be done once shock is resolved?
removed extra fluid ! | -
