Question
Answer
Shock   syndrome characterized by decreased tissue perfusion and impaired cellular metabolism.  
🗑
Shock results in what?   Imbalance between the supply of and demand for oxyen and nurients.  
🗑
What are the three types of shock?   Hypovolemic, Cardiogenic, Distributive  
🗑
Which types of shock are classified as low blood flow?   Cardiogenic and hyovolemic shock  
🗑
Which type of shock is classified as maldistribution of blood flow?   Distributive  
🗑
Distributive shock consists of what?   Septic, anphylactic, and neurogenic shock  
🗑
What is cardiogenic shock?   The inability of the heart muscle to function adequately.  
🗑
Cardiogenic shock is also what?   Mechanical obtruction of blood flow.  
🗑
If it's not corrected, cardiogenic shock can lead to what?   Hypovolemic shock.  
🗑
What is systolic dysfunction?   It is the heart's inability to pupmp the blood forward.  
🗑
Systolic function primarily affects which part of the heart and why?   The left ventricle. Systolic pressure and tension are greater on the left side of the heart.  
🗑
What happens if systolic dysfunction affects the right side of the heart?   Blood flow through the pulmonary circulation is compromised.  
🗑
What are the precipitating causes of systolic dysfunction?   MI, cardiomyopathies, severe systemic or pulmonary hypertension, blunt cardiac injury, andmyocardial depression from sepsis.  
🗑
What is diastolic dysfunction?   It is an impaired ability of the right or left ventricle to fill during diastole.  
🗑
Decreased filling of the ventricle will result in what?   Decreased stroke volume.  
🗑
What is stroke volume?   Amount of blood ejected from the heart with each contraction.  
🗑
The cause and initial presentation of various types of shock differ, but what about their physiologic responses?   The physiologic responses of cell to hypoperfusion are similar.  
🗑
The early clinical presentation of a patient with cardiogenic shock is similar to that of a patient with what?   Acute heart failure.  
🗑
In a patient with cardiogenic shock, what will they have?   Tachycardia, hypotension, and narrowed pulse pressure.  
🗑
How does the myocardial oxygen increase its consmption in cardiogenic shock?   The systemic vascular resistance (SVR) increase, which in turn increases the workload of the heart.  
🗑
What will result in the heart's inability to pump blood forward?   Low cardiac index (less than 2.1 L/min/m2)  
🗑
Cardiogenic Shock Clinical Presentation: Cardiovascular   Decrease capillary refill time. Increase MVO2. Cardiac index <2.1 L/min/m2. Pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP)is >20 mmHg. Chest pain may or may not be present.  
🗑
Cardiogenic Shock Clinical Presentation: Pulmonary   Tachypnea, cyanosis, crackles, rhonchi.  
🗑
Cardiogenic Shock Clinical Presentation: Renal   Increse sodium and water retention. Decrease renal blood flow. Decrease urine output.  
🗑
Cardiogenic Shock Clinical Presentation: Skin   Pallor. Cool, clammy.  
🗑
Cardiogenic Shock Clinical Presentation: Neurologic   Decrease cerebral perfusion: anxiety, confusion, agitation.  
🗑
Cardiogenic Shock Clinical Presentation: Gastrointestinal   Decrease bowel sounds. Nausea/vomiting.  
🗑
Cardiogenic Shock Clinical Presentation: Diagnostic findings   Increase cardiac markers. Increase blood glucose. Increase BUN. ECG (arrhythmias). Echocardiogram (left ventricular dysfunction). Chest x-ray (pulmonary infiltrates.  
🗑
Hypovolemic Shock Clinical Presentation: Cardiovascular   Decrease preload. Decrease stroke volume. Decrease capillary refill time.  
🗑
Hypovolemic Shock Clinical Presentation: Pulmonary   Tachypnea --> bradypnea (late)  
🗑
Hypovolemic Shock Clinical Presentation: Renal   Decrease urine output.  
🗑
Hypovolemic Shock Clinical Presentation: Skin   Pallor. Cool, clammy.  
🗑
Hypovolemic Shock Clinical Presentation: Neurologic   Anxiety, confusion, agitation.  
🗑
Hypovolemic Shock Clinical Presentation: Gastrointestinal   Absent bowel sounds.  
🗑
Hypovolemic Shock Clinical Presentation: Diagnostic findings   Decrease hematocrit. Increase lactate. Increase urine specific graviy. Changes in electrolytes.  
🗑
Neurogenic Shock Clinical Presentation: Cardiovascular   Decrease/Increase temperature.  
🗑
Neurogenic Shock Clinical Presentation: Pulmonary   Dysfunction related to level of injury.  
🗑
Neurogenic Shock Clinical Presentation: Skin   Decrease skin perfusion. Cool or warm. Dry.  
🗑
Neurogenic Shock Clinical Presentation: Neurologic   Flaccid paralysis below the level of hte lesion. Loss of reflex activity, bowel and bladder function.  
🗑
Anaphylactic Shock Clinical Presentation: Cardiovascular   Chest pain. Third spacing of fluid.  
🗑
Anaphylactic Shock Clinical Presentation: Pulmonary   Swelling of lips and tongue. Shortness of breath. Edema of larynx and epiglottis. Wheezing. Rhinitis. Stridor.  
🗑
Anaphylactic Shock Clinical Presentation: Skin   Flushing, pruritus, urticaria, angioedema.  
🗑
Anaphylactic Shock Clinical Presentation: Neurologic   Anxiety. Feeling of impending doom. Confusion. Decrease level of consciousness. Metallic taste.  
🗑
Anaphylactic Shock Clinical Presentation: Gasrointestinal   Cramping. Abdominal pain Nausea. Vomiting. Diarrhea. Sudden onset. History of allergies. Exposure to contrast media.  
🗑
Septic Shock Clinical Presentation: Cardiovascular (Early)   Decrease/increase temperature; increase heart rate; decrease systemic vascular resistance (SVR), Increase CO; Decrease BP; Biventricular dilation (decrease ejection fraction); Increase SvO2.  
🗑
Septic Shock Clinical Presentation: Cardiovascular (Late)   Decrease/increase temperature; Decrease CO/Increase SVR; decrease SvO2.  
🗑
Septic Shock Clinical Presentation: Pulmonary   Hyperventilation. Respiratory alkalosis --> resiratory acidosis. Hypoxemia. Respiratory failure. ARDS. Pulmonary hypertension. Crackles.  
🗑
Septic Shock Clinical Presentation:Renal   Decrease urine output.  
🗑
Septic Shock Clinical Presentation: Skin (Early)   Warm and flushed.  
🗑
Septic Shock Clinical Presentation: Skin (Late)   Cool and mottled.  
🗑
Septic Shock Clinical Presentation: Neuologic (Early)   Alteration in mental status. Agitation.  
🗑
Septic Shock Clinical Presentation: Neurologic (Late)   Coma.  
🗑
Septic Shock Clinical Presentation: Gastrointestinal   GI bleeding. Paralytic ileus.  
🗑
Septic Shock Clinical Presentation: Diagnostic findings   Increase/decrease WBC. Decrease platelets. Increase lactate. Increase urine specific gravity. Decrease urine sodium. Positive blood cultures.  
🗑
What is hypovolemic shock?   It occurs when there is a loss of intravascular fluid volume. Large decrease in circulating volume and metabolic needs are not me.  
🗑
Absolute hypovolemia   Results when fluid is lost through hemorrhage, GI loss (vomiting, diarrhea), fistula drainage, diabetes insipidus, or diuresis.  
🗑
Relative hypovolemia   Fluid volume moves out of the vascular space into extravascular space interstitial or intracavit
