    Study Notes

    Hypovolemic Shock

    • Causes:
      • Intestinal Obstruction: Increased intestinal capillary pressure due to blocked venous blood flow leading to fluid leakage into intestinal walls and lumen. Reduced plasma volume due to loss of high protein fluid.
      • Severe Burns/Skin Denuding: Fluid loss through denuded skin areas significantly reduces plasma volume.
    • Characteristics:
      • Similar to hemorrhagic shock due to reduced blood plasma protein and plasma volume.

    Neurogenic Shock

    • Causes:
      • Sudden Loss of Vasomotor Tone: Massive dilation of veins, resulting in venous pooling of blood, reduced venous return to the heart, and decreased mean systemic filling pressure.
      • Factors:
        • Deep General Anesthesia: Depression of the vasomotor center leading to paralysis.
        • Spinal Anesthesia: Blocks sympathetic outflow, leading to paralysis.
        • Brain Damage: Concussion or contusions of the basal regions of the brain can cause paralysis.

    Septic Shock

    • Most Frequent Cause of Shock-Related Death
    • Causes:
      • Peritonitis: Infection spread from uterus or fallopian tubes, potentially due to instrumental abortions.
      • Endotoxin Release: From dead gram-negative bacteria, this toxin can cause:
        • Increased cellular metabolism despite inadequate nutrition.
        • Cardiac depression.
      • Other Causes:
        • Peritonitis from gastrointestinal rupture.
        • Generalized skin infection.
        • Gangrenous infection from gas gangrene bacilli.
        • Kidney or urinary tract infection.
    • Characteristics:
      • High fever
      • Marked vasodilation, especially in infected tissues
      • High cardiac output in some patients

    Shock Progression - Stages

    • Early Stages:
      • Intense sympathetic nervous system activity helps delay cardiac output depression and prevent arterial pressure drops.
    • Later Stages:
      • Diminished blood flow to brain's vasomotor center leads to its depression and eventual inactivation.
      • Sympathetic nervous system activity lowers as the vasomotor center becomes less active.
      • Cellular depletion of high-energy compounds occurs due to inadequate replenishment of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
    • Severe Shock:
      • Generalized cellular deterioration occurs, especially affecting the liver due to lack of nutrients and potential exposure to toxins.

    Non-Progressive Shock (Compensated Shock)

    • Characteristics:
      • Shock is not severe enough to cause deterioration.
      • Sympathetic reflexes and other factors compensate to prevent further circulatory decline.
    • Recovery Factors:
      • Baroreceptor Reflexes: Powerful sympathetic stimulation of the circulation.

    Traumatic Shock

    • Causes:
      • Hemorrhage caused by trauma.
      • Extensive contusion of the body can damage capillaries, leading to plasma loss into tissues.
      • Resultant hypovolemia due to reduced plasma volume.
    • Possible Contributing Factor:
      • Neurogenic shock due to loss of vasomotor tone.

    Anaphylactic Shock and Histamine Shock

    • Characteristics:
      • Drastic drops in cardiac output and arterial pressure.
    • Cause:
      • Antigen-antibody reactions that occur rapidly following exposure to an allergen.

    Hemorrhage and Circulation

    • Decreasing blood volume leads to a decrease in cardiac output and arterial pressure.
    • Sympathetic nerve stimulation attempts to compensate for the loss of blood volume by constricting veins, increasing peripheral resistance and maintaining arterial pressure.
    • The sympathetic nervous system response is mediated by central nervous system ischemic response, triggered by oxygen deprivation and carbon dioxide buildup in the brain.
    • Reduced blood volume leads to a decrease in coronary blood flow, which weakens the heart and further decreases cardiac output. This creates a positive feedback loop, worsening the shock condition.
    • Prolonged low coronary blood flow leads to progressive heart deterioration with delayed onset.
    • In severe shock, the positive feedback mechanisms overwhelm the negative feedback systems, resulting in a vicious cycle of deterioration.

    Shock and its Deteriorative Effects

    • Shock causes a release of toxins from ischemic tissues, including histamine, serotonin, and tissue enzymes. Endotoxins are particularly important in certain types of shock.
    • Endotoxins cause mitochondrial depression in liver and other cells, disrupting cellular metabolism and causing widespread tissue deterioration.
    • Lysosomes break open, releasing hydrolases that further damage cells.
    • Anaerobic metabolism dominates in the late stages of shock, resulting in a buildup of lactic acid and metabolic acidosis.
    • Shock impairs the ability of the body to oxygenate blood and removes carbon dioxide, leading to tissue acidosis.
    • Shock causes patchy areas of tissue necrosis due to uneven blood flow.

    Treatments

    • Blood and plasma transfusions are used to restore blood volume in hemorrhagic and plasma-loss shock, respectively.
    • Electrolyte solutions are used to correct dehydration.
    • Sympathomimetic drugs, like epinephrine and norepinephrine, help to restore circulatory function by counteracting the vasodilating effects of histamine in anaphylactic shock.
    • Sympathomimetic drugs are less effective in hemorrhagic shock due to extensive damage to the heart and blood vessels.
    • Irreversible shock occurs when heart deterioration and tissue damage have reached a point where transfusions no longer provide relief.
    • Shock treatment must address the underlying cause and aim to prevent further deterioration.

    Stages of Shock

    • Shock is a life-threatening condition where the circulatory system fails to deliver enough oxygen to the body's tissues.
    • There are three stages:
      • Nonprogressive stage: The body's natural compensatory mechanisms are sufficient to restore normal blood flow.
      • Progressive stage: Shock worsens despite compensatory mechanisms.
      • Irreversible stage: Shock progresses to a point where all forms of therapy are ineffective.

    Compensatory Mechanisms in Shock

    • Decreased arterial pressure triggers powerful sympathetic reflexes.
    • Sympathetic reflexes lead to:
      • Arteriolar constriction: Increases peripheral resistance, helps to maintain blood pressure.
      • Venous constriction: Helps maintain venous return despite decreased blood volume.

    Cardiac Depression in Shock

    • A decrease in arterial pressure reduces coronary blood flow, leading to cardiac muscle weakening and decreased cardiac output.
    • This creates a positive feedback loop where shock worsens.

    Toxins Released by Ischemic Tissue

    • Shock can cause tissues to release toxic substances like histamine, serotonin, and tissue enzymes, further compromising circulation.

    Cardiac Depression Caused by Endotoxin

    • One of the key effects of endotoxin is the release of histamine, which:
      • Increases vascular capacity: Decreases venous return.
      • Dilates arterioles: Reduces arterial pressure.
      • Increases capillary permeability: Leads to fluid and protein loss into tissue spaces.

    Septic Shock

    • Septic shock refers to a widespread bacterial infection in the bloodstream.
    • It can lead to circulatory collapse due to:
      • Arteriolar dilation: In infected tissues.
      • High metabolic rate and vasodilation: Caused by bacterial toxin stimulation.
      • Blood sludging: Red blood cells clump together in response to degenerating tissues.
      • Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC): Occurs when micro-blood clots form throughout the body.
      • Hemorrhage: Due to depletion of clotting factors.

    Physiology of Treatment in Shock

    • Treatment focuses on restoring blood volume and circulation.
    • Replacement Therapy: Includes blood transfusions and plasma administration.
    • Sympathomimetic Drugs:
      • Used to enhance sympathetic nervous system activity and constrict blood vessels.
      • Effective in anaphylactic shock but not as valuable in hemorrhagic shock.

    Effects of Circulatory Arrest on the Brain

    • Prolonged circulatory arrest can cause permanent brain damage.
    • More than 5-8 minutes of circulatory arrest can lead to brain damage in more than half of patients.
    • 10-15 minutes of arrest almost always results in severe permanent brain damage.
    • Brain damage was previously thought to be solely due to hypoxia.
    • Recent studies suggest preventing blood clots in the brain is crucial for minimizing damage.

    Hemorrhage and Blood Pressure

    • Hemorrhage decreases both cardiac output and arterial pressure.
    • Sympathetic nervous system activation increases total peripheral resistance, which does not have a positive effect on the heart's ability to pump blood.
    • Arterial pressure reaches a second plateau at around 50 mmHg, and this is due to the central nervous system ischemic response.
    • The central nervous system ischemic response is a "last-ditch stand" of the sympathetic reflexes to maintain arterial pressure.

    Blood Flow in the Brain and Heart

    • Despite decreased cardiac output, sympathetic stimulation does not significantly constrict cerebral or cardiac vessels.
    • Both the brain and heart rely on local blood flow autoregulation to maintain adequate blood flow even with moderate drops in arterial pressure.
    • Blood flow is maintained in the brain and heart as long as the mean arterial pressure does not fall below 70 mmHg.

    Progressive and Nonprogressive Hemorrhagic Shock

    • Shock that progresses due to an initial decrease in arterial pressure is called progressive shock.
    • Shock that is not severe enough to cause its own progression and eventually recovers is called nonprogressive or compensated shock.

    Compensatory Mechanisms in Nonprogressive Shock

    • Baroreceptor reflexes stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, leading to increased heart rate and vasoconstriction.
    • The sympathetic nervous system helps to increase venous return and maintain arterial pressure.

    Septic Shock

    • Septic shock is a widespread bacterial infection that spreads through the blood.
    • Widespread bacterial infection leads to vasodilation in the infected tissues, due to histamine release and high metabolic rates.
    • Septic shock can lead to reduced venous return, reduced arterial pressure, and increased capillary permeability, causing rapid loss of fluid and protein into the tissue spaces.
    • As the infection progresses, circulatory collapse occurs due to bacterial toxins and loss of plasma into the infected tissues.

    Irreversible Shock

    • Irreversible shock is a stage where therapy is unable to save the person's life.
    • Despite the ability to temporarily increase cardiac output and arterial pressure, irreversible deterioration continues, leading to death.
    • Multiple deteriorative changes happen in the heart muscle, affecting the ability to pump blood over a long period.

    Acidosis in Shock

    • Shock leads to tissue acidosis from poor oxygen delivery.
    • Anaerobic metabolism leads to lactic acid buildup.
    • Reduced blood flow impairs carbon dioxide removal, contributing to acidosis.

    Blood Viscosity in Shock

    • Blood viscosity increases due to hemorrhage, which can exacerbate shock.
