Shock Tom Munford CT2 Anaesthesia Nottingham City Hospital
Outline • What is shock? • Types of shock • Treatment
What is shock? ‘Clinical syndrome in which the circulation is unable to deliver adequate end organ perfusion resulting in cellular hypoxia and eventually irreversible cellular injury’
Components of the Circulatory system PUMP PIPES FLUID ORGANS
How do I know my patient is shocked? • Look unwell • Tachycardic • May be hypotensive • Signs of inadequate organ perfusion- low UO- raised lactate- confusion
How do I treat shock? • A-E assessment • Treat as you find • Large bore IV access • Fluid resuscitation • Search for cause and specific treatment
Types of shock Hypovolaemic Distributive Obstructive Cardiogenic
Hypovolaemic • Commonest type • Insufficient circulatory volume • Bleeding, vomiting, burns, dehydration • Resuscitate with IV fluid • Treat underlying cause (e.g.: surgery if bleeding)
Distributive • Neurogenic- trauma- failure of sympathetic nervous system to maintain vascular tone • Septic- history suggestive of infection- raised temperature
Sepsis 6 • High flow oxygen • Take blood cultures • Broad spectrum IV antibiotics • IV fluid resuscitation • Measure Hb and Lactate • Monitor hourly urine output
Obstructive • Prevention of blood flow from the heart • Cardiac tamponade, tension pneumothorax, massive PE • Signs- dilated neck veins- muffled heart sounds- unilaterally decreased breath sounds- deviated trachea
Cardiogenic • Commonly seen post MI • Signs- history suggestive- dilated neck veins- pulmonary oedema • Caution with fluids • Inotropes (e.g.: dopamine, dobutamine)
Summary • Shock is common • Shock can be life threatening • Can be treated by doing the basics well • Four main types- Hypovolaemic- Distributive- Obstructive- Cardiogenic
