Presentation Transcript

  1. Shock WCS Teaching Evening

  2. What is shock? • Acute failure of circulation resulting in impaired or absent perfusion to tissues and subsequent insufficient oxygen provision to cells.

  3. Five Main types • Hypovolaemic • Cardiogenic • Mechanical • Septic • Anaphylactic

  4. Causes of Hypovolaemic shock • Obvious blood loss (external) • Internal blood loss, any major source of internal bleeding • MASSIVE vomiting and/or diarrhea

  5. Pathophysiology • BASICALLY: • Lost circulating volume, less blood goes into heart, less blood therefore gets pumped out of the heart, therefore BP drops. • END RESULT? Oxygen delivery impaired, cells are gradually doomed

  6. Signs and Symptoms • Cold pale clammy skin. Poor cap. Refill • Tachycardia • BP – early is increased, later on drops • Tachypnoea • Oligo/Anuria • Confusion, restlessness, anxiety, dizziness • Switch to Anaerobic metabolism, results in lactic acid production and acidosis

  7. Management • Oxygen, replace lost fluid • FIX UNDERLYING CAUSE

  8. Cardiogenic • Usually due to MI, heart can no longer pump blood • Backlog of blood builds up in lungs: • RV failure - JVP • Dyspnoea • Crackles/wheeze • Pulmonary oedema

  9. Diagnosis and Management • History, ECG, Trop T, angiography • Morphine, Oxygen, Nitrates, Aspirin • Thrombolysis • Fluids or diuretics?

  10. Mechanical Shock • Tension pneumothorax & Cardiac tamponade: prevent filling of heart • PE: Overloading of RV and hypovolaemia of LV • All present with features of shock, fix underlying cause

  11. Septic Shock • Infection of the blood results in systemic inflammatory response and mass vasodilation – fluids leaks out. • Tachycardia • Tachypnoea • Hypotension • Fever OR Hypothermia • WCC >12 or <4

  12. Septic Shock • Early on – warm (vasodilated peripheries), as condition progresses becomes cold. • Rigors are common.

  13. SEPSIS SIX • FBC • High flow oxygen • Fluid resus • Urine output • Blood culture & serum lactate • High dose empirical antibiotics • Administer if sepsis is SUSPECTED. Treat as septic until proven otherwise. • Multi organ failure and mortality rates are very high

  14. Anaphylactic Shock • IgE mediated – type I hypersensitivity • Allergen stimulates IgE to bind mast cells which then degranulate and release histamine. • Vasodilation and increased capillary permeability.

  15. Anaphylactic Shock • Acute, within 30 mins • Erythema, oedema • Tachycardia, hypotension • BRONCHOSPASM, OBSTRUCTIVE SWELLING • Vomiting & Diarrhoea • Adrenaline and oxygen. Fluids if needed, steroids and antihistamines for support.
