If it is a rate problem, fix the rate, if it is obstructive problem can you fix the obstruction? If it’s a failing heart can you fix it? Does the vessels need to be constricted? Are they broken, open or leaking? Fill the tank with isotonic solution or blood if needed Stroke Volume x Pulse Rate = Cardiac Output (L/min) Factors that affect stroke volume or pulse rate will affect the cardiac output. Afterload (pressure of blood against the aorta) Preload (pressure of the blood entering the heart from the right side) Myocardial contraction (Heart failure, infarcts) Myocardial contractility (dysrhythmias) heart-rate-ekg-ecg-heart-beat - Scope (stanford.edu), Hand Squeezing Red Heart Shape Vector Stock Vector (Royalty Free) 1278117661 | Shutterstock Half Full Heart Stock Illustrations – 170 Half Full Heart Stock Illustrations, Vectors & Clipart – Dreamstime, Cardiac rehabilitation research (eventscloud.com) The ability of the heart to fill and expand Absolute Hypovolemia Loss of blood volume 2 types: Exogenous - Hemorrhage ◦ (blunt, penetrating wounds, traumatic vascular injuries Endogenous - Fluid loss is contained inside the body ◦ Dehydration ◦ Plasma losses (burns) ◦ Anaphylaxis (mix with relative hypovolemia) ◦ Third space losses (peritonitis, ascites) ◦ Osmotic losses (DKA) When the blood volume loss causes too low blood pressure to maintain tissue perfusion, hypovolemic shock occurs. Blood Volume Females ◦ 65ml/kg blood Males ◦ 70 ml/kg blood Childs blood volume ◦ 80-80 ml/kg •Blood loss for an adult of 1 L of blood or more produces significant changes in vital signs •Bodies can not tolerate acute blood loss of 20% or more of the total blood volume. •Infants and children have less blood volume then adults •Compensation for blood loss is related to how fast blood loss occurs Relative Hypovolemia If the vascular system became fully dilated it can hold up to 25 L of blood When vascular system becomes dilated causing too low blood pressure to maintain tissue perfusion, high space shock or distributive shock occurs. ◦ Neurological Shock ◦ Anaphylactic shock ◦ Sepsis shock (mix with hypovolemic) Shock Shock occurs when inadequate tissue perfusion occurs Inadequate tissue perfusion occurs with poor cellular exchange of: ◦ Oxygenation ◦ Waste exchange ◦ Nutrient delivery Compensation for Decreased Perfusion Drop in BP causes: Baroreceptors (carotid sinuses and aortic arch) – vasoconstrictor center in the medulla ◦ vasoconstriction Renin- angiotensin aldosterone system – releases antidiuretic hormone from the pituitary gland ◦ Vasoconstriction ◦ Sodium and water retention Hypoperfusion to the cells causes: Spleen may release RBC Adrenal glands release epinephrine and norepinephrine ◦ Increases cardiac output ◦ Vasoconstricts (shunts blood to vital organs) If hypoperfusion continues the body will not be able to compensate and will lead to impaired cellular metabolism Impairment of Cellular Metabolism Inadequate tissue perfusion results in impaired cellular metabolism Inability to use oxygen and glucose for cellular metabolism results in anaerobic metabolism which causes: ◦ Lactic acid production leads to Metabolic acidosis ◦ Decreased oxygen affinity for hemoglobin ◦ Changes in electrolytes ◦ Decreased ATP production – leads to ion pump dysfunction (inflex of sodium, efflux of potassium) ◦ catecholamine and cortisol release – glycogenolysis – elevated glucose and ketone formation. Compensated Shock (early shock – warm shock – normal tensive shock ) Decompensated Shock (late shock – cold shock – hypotensive shock) •Volume drop of 15-30% •Volume drop of 30% or more •Weakness, lightheaded •Hypotensive •Pale, diaphoresis •Altered Mental Status •Tachycardia •Cardiac Arrest •Decreased urinary output •Weakened peripheral pulses The BP is the last measurable factor of distinguishing shock – if you detect a drop in BP shock is well developed. Late Shock As shock progresses multi organ dysfunction syndrome occurs ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ Renal failure Respiratory failure Myocardial depression Liver failure Leads to DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation) Relative Bradycardia The patient will remain in bradycardia despite the catecholamine release. Medications: ◦ Betablockers ◦ Calcium Channel blockers 20% of patients who have an internal bleed in their abd will not show tachycardia Hypotensive BP for Pediatrics • A BP lower than the PALS BP chart is considered hypotensive • Any decrease in systolic BP of 10 mmHg from the baseline should prompt you to assess for other conditions and signs of shock • Hypotension defined by systolic BP and age use the 5thcentile of BP calculation • Bradycardia with hypotension is an ominous sign Case Questions You have a hypotensive patient in the rhythm on the screen.
