A

Loss of IV fluid vol-less CVP and so SV and CO so compensatory increase in HR and TPR to compensate for low BP and SV

Q

Management CDE-H?

A

• Haemorrhagic protocol
Use blood products(red blood cells and fresh frozen plasma [FFP])
1:1 ratio of red blood cells to FFP in trauma and at least a 1:2 ratio in non-trauma patients
• Give platelets if platelets <75 x 10⁹/L (or <100 x 10⁹/L in brain and spine injuries)
• Give cryoprecipitate or fibrinogen concentrate if fibrinogen <1.5 g/L (<150 mg/dL) (<2 g/L [<200 mg/dL] if obstetric)
• Give FFP if prothrombin time and/or activated partial thromboplastin time >1.5 times norma
• Target Hb
• Reverse anticoagulation
• IV tranexamic acid if bleeding
• IV fluids
• Crystalloid-Hartmann’s-bolus of 250-500 mL given over less than 15 minutes -adjust
• Fluid challenges- target MAP of 65mmHg
• Vasodilator(GTN)-
• If the patient has pulmonary oedema and systolic blood pressure >90 mmHg, consider a vasodilator (e.g., glyceryl trinitrate, nesiritide) and ensure the patient is transferred to a critical care environment so that blood pressure can be continuously monitored
• Vasopressors agents
• Via CVC/arterial line
• NA, dopamine, vasopressin, adrenaline
• Increases perfusion and reduces mismatch bt tone and volume

Q

Pathophysiology-Cardiogenic?

A
  • Lack of pulmonary circulation and peripheral perfusion
  • Heart failure leads to drop in CO and blood pressure so the SNS increases catecholamines secretion, leading to VC and increased TPR, and HR.
  • This increases myocardial oxygen demand so more compensatory mechanisms like RAAS increase sodium and water retention and VC but less flow to vital organs ,leading to ischaemia.
  • A lack of oxygen leads to less ATP hence more lactic acid-metabolic acidosis-leads to a lower heart rate
  • High/low preload, low CO, high afterload, high TPR, low mixed venous oxygen saturation
