    Study Notes

    Circulatory Shock

    • Circulatory shock is inadequate blood flow to tissues, causing damage due to insufficient flow.
    • Shock types are categorized by underlying causes.

    Hypovolemic Shock

    • This type of shock involves reduced blood volume.
    • Hemorrhagic shock is a common form, caused by bleeding.
    • Hypovolemia can result from plasma loss, even without red blood cell loss, leading to reduced blood volume.
      • Intestinal obstruction and severe burns can cause significant plasma loss.

    Dehydration

    • Causes of dehydration shock include excessive sweating, diarrhea, vomiting, inadequate fluid intake, and kidney issues (nephrotic kidneys).
    • These factors lead to insufficient fluid and electrolyte balance.

    Other Types of Shock

    • Traumatic shock: Extensive tissue contusion leads to substantial plasma loss into tissues.
    • Cardiogenic shock: Inadequate cardiac pumping, often after heart attack or prolonged cardiac deterioration, reduces blood flow.
    • Neurogenic shock: Sudden loss of vasomotor tone causes widespread vein dilation, diminished venous return, and decreased cardiac output.
      • Severe cases include general or spinal anaesthesia, or trauma to the brain causing vasomotor depression.
    • Anaphylactic shock: Allergic reaction to an antigen immediately after exposure, triggers an antibody reaction causing mast cells and basophils to rapidly release histamine.
      • This reaction causes significant vasodilation and high capillary permeability that leads to fluid loss.
    • Septic shock: Widespread bacterial infection, causing widespread damage via toxins, can lead to severe shock.

    Stages of Shock

    • Nonprogressive (compensated): Compensatory mechanisms effectively prevent further deterioration of circulation.
    • Progressive: Shock worsens without intervention.
    • Irreversible: Therapy is ineffective, and the patient's life is at risk.

    Physiology of Treatment (Shock)

    • Replacement therapy: Blood transfusion for hemorrhage, plasma administration for plasma loss, and electrolyte solutions to correct dehydration.

    Additional Cellular Effects of Shock

    • Disrupted Cellular Processes: Diminished sodium/potassium transport in cell membranes, mitochondrial dysfunction in liver and other tissues, lysosomal release, and hampered cellular nutrient metabolism (e.g., glucose).
    • These cellular effects contribute to further organ system (e.g. liver, lungs, heart) deterioration.
    • Kidney Damage: Deteriorative lesions can occur in the kidneys, resulting in eventual kidney failure.
