  1. Chapter 13: Shock

  2. Defining Shock • Shock is best defined as inadequate tissue perfusion • Can result from a variety of disease states and injuries • Can affect the entire organism or it can occur at a tissue or cellular level • Shock is not adequately defined by: • Pulse rate • Blood pressure • Cardiac function • Hypovolemia • Loss of systemic vascular resistance

  3. Components of the Circulatory System • The pump (heart) • The fluid (blood) • The container (blood vessels) Any problem with the components can lead to inadequate perfusion.

  4. Cardiac Output • Amount of blood separately pumped by each ventricle per minute, usually expressed in liters per minute • Determined by multiplying the heart rate by the volume of blood ejected by each ventricle during each beat (stroke volume) • Crucial determinant of organ perfusion • Depends on: • Strength of contraction • Rate of contraction • Amount of venous return available to the ventricle (preload)

  5. Baroreceptor Reflexes • Help maintain BP by two negative feedback mechanisms: • By lowering BP in response to increased arterial pressure • By increasing BP in response to decreased arterial pressure

  6. Chemoreceptor Reflexes • Low arterial pressure may stimulate peripheral chemoreceptor cells that lie within the carotid and aortic bodies • When oxygen or pH decreases, these cells stimulate vasomotor center of medulla

  7. Compensatory Mechanisms • CNS Ischemic Response • Hormonal Mechanisms • Adrenal-medullary mechanism • Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone mechanism • Vasopressin mechanism • Atrial natriuretic factor • Reabsorption of tissue fluids • Splenic discharge of blood

  8. Role of Adrenal Medulla in Regulating BP Figure 7-8 A

  9. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone Mechanism in BP Figure 7-8 B

  10. Vasopressin (ADH) Mechanism in Regulating BP Figure 7-8 C

  11. The Body as a Container • The healthy body may be viewed as a smooth‑flowing delivery system inside a container • Container must be filled to achieve adequate preload and tissue oxygenation

  12. The Body As a Container • The external size of the container of any particular human body is relatively constant • Volume of the container is directly related to the diameter of the resistance vessels • Any change in vessel diameter changes the volume of the fluid the container holds, thereby affecting preload Figure 19-1

  13. Blood Volume • Average adult male has a blood volume of 7% of total body weight • Average adult female has a blood volume of 6.5% of body weight • Volume increases significantly during pregnancy • Normal adult blood volume is 4.5‑5 L • Remains fairly constant in the healthy body

  14. Plasma • Approximately 92% water • The liquid portion of blood • Circulates salts, minerals, sugars, fats, and proteins throughout the body • Contains 3 major proteins: • Albumin • Globulins (alpha, beta, and gamma) • Fibrinogen

  15. Capillary-Cellular Relationship in Shock • Stage 1: Vasoconstriction • Stage 2: Capillary and Venule Opening • Stage 3: Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation • Stage 4: Multiple Organ Failure

  16. Capillary-Cellular Relationship in Shock

  17. Classifications of Shock • Hypovolemic shock • Distributive shock • Neurogenic shock • Anaphylactic shock • Septic shock • Cardiogenic shock

  18. Compensated Shock • Characterized by signs and symptoms of early shock • Arterial blood pressure is normal or high • Treatment at this stage will typically result in recovery

  19. Compensated Shock

  20. Uncompensated Shock • Characterized by signs and symptoms of late shock • Arterial blood pressure is abnormally low • Treatment at this stage will sometimes result in recovery

  21. Uncompensated Shock

  22. Irreversible Shock • Characterized by signs and symptoms of late shock • Arterial blood pressure is abnormally low • Even aggressive treatment at this stage does not result in recovery

  23. Irreversible Shock
