DEFINITION • Profound hemodyamic and metabolic disturbance characterized by failure of the circulatory system to maintain adequate perfusion of vital organs
Types of Shock • Cardiogenic (intracardiac vs extracardiac) • Hypovolemic • Distributive • sepsis**** • neurogenic (spinal shock) • adrenal insufficiency • anaphylaxis
Cardiogenic Shock, intracardiac • Myocardial Injury or Obstruction to Flow • Arrythymias • valvular lesions • AMI • Severe CHF • VSD • Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Presentation of Cardiogenic Shock • Pulmonary Edema • JVD • hypotensive • weak pulses • oliguria
Cardiogenic Shock, extracardiac(Obstructive) • Pulmonary Embolism • Cardiac Tamponade • Tension Pneumothorax • Presentation will be according to underlying disease process.
Hypovolemic Shock • Reduced circulating blood volume with secondary decreased cardiac output • Acute hemorrhage • Vomiting/Diarrhea • Dehydration • Burns • Peritonitis/Pancreatitis
Presentation of Hypovolemic Shock • Hypotensive • flat neck veins • clear lungs • cool, cyanotic extremities • evidence of bleeding? • Anticoagulant use • trauma, bruising • oliguria
Distributive Shock • Peripheral Vasodilation secondary to disruption of cellular metabolism by the effects of inflammatory mediators. • Gram negative or other overwhelming infection. • Results in decreased Peripheral Vascular Resistance.
Distributive Shock: Presentation • Febrile • Tachycardic • clear lungs, evidence of pneumonia • warm extremities • flat neck veins • oliguria
Diagnosing Shock • Response to fluids • Echo/EKG • CXR • Evidence of infection • Swan-Ganz Catheter?
Swan-Ganz Catheter • Utilized to differentiate types of shock and assist in treatment response. • Probably overused by physicians. Studies documenting increased mortality in patients with catheters versus no catheters, although somewhat swayed by selection bias.
Management • Correct underlying disorder if possible and then direct efforts at increasing the blood pressure to increase oxygen delivery to the tissues. • Maintain a mean arterial pressure of 60 (1/3 systolic + 2/3 diastolic) • Keep O2 sats >92%, intubate if neccesary
Correction of hypotension • Normal Saline should be administered anytime a patient is hypotensive. If hypotension exists give more NS. *** • If possible give blood as it replaces colloid. • Vasopressors • Inotropic agents for cardiogenic shock • Intra-aortic Balloon Pump for cardiogenic
Management of Cardiogenic Shock • Attempt to correct problem and increase cardiac output by diuresing and providing inotropic support. IABP is utilized if medical therapy is ineffective. Catheterization if ongoing ischemia • Cardiogenic shock is the exception to the rule that NS is always given for hypotension NS will exacerbate cardiac shock.
Management of Septic Shock • Early goal directed therapy • Identification of source of infection • Broad Spectrum Antibiotics • IV fluids • Vasopressors • Steroids ?? • Recombinant human activated protein C ( Xygris) • Bicarbonate if pH < 7.1
Management of Hypovolemic Shock • Correct bleeding abnormality • If PT or PTT elevated then FFP • Aggressive Fluid replacement with 2 large bore IV’s or central line. • Pressors are last line, but commonly required.
Addison’s Disease • Deficiency of cortisol and aldosterone production in the adrenal glands • This is suspected when patient is non-responsive to fluids and antibiotics. • Electrolytes may reveal hyponatremia and hyperkalemia • Hydrocortisone 100 mg IV immediately then taper appropriately
