Good Morning! February 18, 2011
Types of Shock • Hypovolemic • Inadequate blood volume • Distributive • Inappropriately distributed blood volume and flow • Cardiogenic • Insufficient CO caused by poor myocardial function • Obstructive • Obstructed flow (into or out of the heart)
Septic Shock February 18, 2011
Shock: Defined • Critical condition • Inadequate delivery of oxygen to the tissues to meet metabolic demand • Often characterized by inadequate perfusion
Shock • Consequences • Tissue hypoxia • Anaerobic metabolism • Accumulation of lactic acid, carbon dioxide • Irreversible cell damage • Death • Acute: cardiovascular collapse • Delayed: multiple-organ system failure
Severity of Shock • Compensated vsDecompensated??? • DECOMPENSATED = HYPOTENSIVE
Severity of Shock • Compensatory mechanisms: • Tachycardia • Increased contractility • Increased SVR • Failure of compensatory mechanisms results in hypotension (decompensated shock)
Keep in Mind • Severe shock • Low BP • Normal BP • Automated BP devices are not reliable with weak/absent distal pulses
Assessment • General Appearance • Ill, listless, decreased response to environment • Airway • Associated with level of consciousness
Assessment • Breathing • Quiet tachypnea • metabolic acidosis • Nasal flaring/retractions • intrinsic respiratory distress • Cardiogenic or obstructive shock • Pulse oximetry • Unreliable with poor perfusion
Assessment • Circulation • Skin: mottled, pale, diaphoretic, cyanotic • Heart: murmur, gallop, distant • Lungs: crackles • Extremities: prolonged cap refill, diminished pulses • End-organ function: brain, kidneys
Circulation • Tachycardia • Early sign of shock • Hypotension • Late and often sudden sign of decompensation • May progress quickly to cardiac arrest • Cap Refill • Extremity above level of heart • Context of other signs
Questions • What volume of fluid should you bolus? • How fast? • What is to goal fluid administration w/in first hour? • Warm vs Cold: What is the difference? • How does treatment vary?
Questions • How does volume resuscitation differ for: • Cardiogenic shock? • Tamponade? • Pulmonary Embolism? • When should you consider hydrocortisone?
