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.
