Study Notes
Shock and Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome
- Shock is a life-threatening condition where the body doesn't receive enough blood flow to tissues. This leads to hypoperfusion, preventing oxygen delivery to cells, and can be fatal.
- Physiological responses in shock include hypoperfusion, hypermetabolism, and inflammatory response activation. Insufficient oxygen causes cells to switch to anaerobic metabolism, producing lactic acid.
- Shock can affect all body systems and requires immediate treatment. If untreated, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) can develop, leading to death.
- The first step in shock treatment is identifying the cause.
- Examples include taking vital signs, determining the underlying condition, and treating the source. (e.g., sepsis workup)
Classification of Shock
- Types of shock include hypovolemic, cardiogenic, septic, neurogenic, and anaphylactic.
Pathophysiology of Shock
- Cells lack sufficient oxygen and nutrients, leading to anaerobic metabolism.
- This results in an acidotic intracellular environment.
- The body attempts to restore normal functioning by dropping blood pressure. Baroreceptors are alerted, releasing catecholamines, increasing heart rate, and causing vasoconstriction.
Stages of Shock
- Shock progresses through stages.
- Initial/compensatory: body systems still perfused through compensatory mechanisms, patient may appear normal.
- Progressive: blood pressure decreases, compensatory mechanisms falter.
- Irreversible: blood pressure critically low, body systems fail, survival unlikely.
- Signs and symptoms for each stage are described in detail, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory status, skin, urine output, and mental status considerations.
General Management of Shock
- Supplemental oxygen and/or mechanical ventilation may be required to increase oxygen delivery.
- Monitor tissue perfusion (changes in mental status, blood pressure, respiration, and heart rate).
- Blood components such as packed red blood cells, fresh-frozen plasma, and platelets are needed for replacement.
- Crystalloids (electrolyte solutions), colloids (large-molecule solutions) are used for fluid replacement initially, depending on the patient's condition and circumstances.
- Vasoactive medications may be administered to support blood pressure and cardiac function.
Specific Types of Shock
- Hypovolemic Shock: Most common cause, often due to fluid loss, such as bleeding or dehydration.
- Cardiogenic Shock: The heart cannot effectively pump blood, often due to a heart attack or other cardiac conditions.
- Distributive shock (septic, neurogenic, anaphylactic), has symptoms which include abnormal distribution of blood.
- Septic Shock: A life-threatening condition that results from an overwhelming infection.
- Neurogenic Shock: Results from damage to the nervous system, often associated with spinal cord injuries.
- Anaphylactic shock: A severe allergic reaction.
- Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS)
- criteria (at least 2)
- Body temp greater or less than normal
- High heart rate
- Rapid breathing
- High white blood cell count
- criteria (at least 2)
Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS)
- A life-threatening condition where multiple organ systems fail.
- It frequently occurs in patients who develop sepsis, severe trauma, or other significant injuries or conditions.
Nursing Management
- Prevention of complications.
- Monitoring vital signs and organ function.
- Support of family members.
