Study Notes
Renal Pathophysiology in Shock
- The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis is stimulated, leading to further vasoconstriction and increased sodium and water reabsorption by the kidney.
Types of Shock
- Cardiogenic Shock: Due to primary failure of the heart to pump blood to the tissues.
- Distributive Shock: Characterized by:
- Anaphylaxis: Vasodilatation caused by histamine release.
- Spinal Cord Injury: A non-haemorrhagic cause of shock.
- Septic Shock: A type of distributive shock.
- Endocrine Shock: Adrenal insufficiency leading to shock due to hypovolaemia and a poor response to circulating and exogenous catecholamines.
Fluid Resuscitation in Shock
- No overt difference in response or outcome between crystalloid solutions (e.g. normal saline, Hartmann's solution, Ringer's lactate) and colloids (e.g. albumin, commercially available products).
