Study Notes
Inadequate Tissue Perfusion & Impaired Oxygen Delivery
- Clinical syndrome driven by insufficient tissue perfusion, often leading to hypoperfusion.
- Causes include decreased blood volume, circulatory stagnation, illnesses, trauma, stress, dehydration, and environmental exposures.
- Shunting of blood can bypass capillary exchange beds, impairing aerobic metabolism (Krebs Cycle).
Physiological Changes
- Increased carbon dioxide and lactate levels due to inadequate aerobic metabolism.
- Enhanced inflammatory response and activation of clotting cascades in hypoperfused areas.
- Damage to endothelial cells triggers white blood cell activity.
- Severe shock can cause widespread inflammatory responses, particularly in septic shock.
Shock Management
- Identify the cause and type of shock, monitor hemodynamics, and implement treatment strategies.
- Key treatment strategies include restoring preload (fluid resuscitation).
Hemodynamics and Shock Types
- Shock can result from fluid loss, pump failure, or vascular system issues (pipe loss).
- Monitor mean arterial pressure (MAP) and stroke volume; balance preload and afterload.
- Various agents are used depending on shock type (e.g., NTG, epinephrine, fluids).
Body Responses
- Sympathetic nervous system activation leads to vasoconstriction and circulatory shunting.
- Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) compensates for low blood pressure through hormone release, maintaining fluid balance.
Types of Shock
- Hypovolemic Shock: Caused by trauma or dehydration; treat with blood products and fluids.
- Cardiogenic Shock: Often due to myocardial infarction; requires NS and AHA drugs.
- Obstructive Shock: Includes tension pneumothorax; treated with needle decompression.
- Anaphylactic Shock: Characterized by severe allergic reaction; treated with epinephrine and antihistamines.
- Distributive Shock: Sepsis leads to systemic vasodilation; require fluid resuscitation.
- Neurogenic Shock: Resulting from spinal injury or anesthesia, causing loss of sympathetic tone.
Stages of Shock
- Compensatory Stage: Elevated heart rate, normal blood pressure, anxiety.
- Decompensated Stage: Weak pulse, low blood pressure, altered mental status, possible apneic episodes.
- Irreversible Stage: Organ failure; patient does not respond to resuscitation.
Impacts on Perfusion
- Body may divert blood from extremities to maintain core organ perfusion during shock.
- Early signs of shock can include rapid heart rate and breathing, mental confusion, and changes in skin temperature and color.
Additional Factors in Cardiogenic Shock
- Can arise from conditions like myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, or severe electrolyte imbalance.
- Involves significant vasodilation and decreased cardiac output.
Recognizing Neurogenic Shock
- Triggers include spinal cord injury or generalized anesthesia, leading to massive vasodilation and hypotension.
- Symptoms include widened pulse pressure, tachycardia, and neurological alterations.
Obstructive Shock Conditions
- Cardiac Tamponade: Fluid accumulation around the heart impairs filling; signs include hypotension and muffled heart tones.
- Tension Pneumothorax: Air in pleural space causes lung collapse and respiratory distress.
- Pulmonary Embolism: Prevents effective blood flow leading to hypoxia.
Dissociative Shock Mechanism
- Oxygen delivery is impaired despite normal cardiac function; conditions like severe anemia or carbon monoxide poisoning can cause this.
Summary
- Understanding tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery is vital in dealing with various shock types and their management.
- Prompt recognition of shock stages and physiological changes is essential for effective treatment and improved patient outcomes.
