EM II Shock

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Shock   Inadequate oxygen delivery to meet the metabolic needs of the tissues (CO or O2 carrying capacity); Inability to metabolize oxygen;  
🗑
Hypovolemic Hemorrhagic Shock   Trauma: external (floor) or internal bleeding (hematoma, hemothorax, hemoperitoneum, placental abruption, etc)Atraumatic: GIB, Ruptured AAA, Ruptured aortic dissection, ruptured ectopic  
🗑
Severe Dehydration hypovolemic Shock   BurnsDKAAdrenal crisisVomiting, diarrhea, hyperosmolar statesPancreatitis, ascites, obstruction  
🗑
Distributive Shock   abnormal distribution of vascular volume. Decreased SVR, Increased permeability. Increased vascular compartment. AKA "warm shock".  
🗑
Examples of Distributive Shock   Classic examples: Sepsis, Anaphylaxis, NeurogenicOthers: any other class of shock that is prolonged enough that vasoconstriction cannot be maintainedCarbon Monoxide and cyanide  
🗑
cardiogenic   Rate (CO=HRxSV), Pump Failure (decreased HR or decreasd contractility): AMI, CHF, Arrhythmias, Cardiomyopathy, Myocarditis, Ruptured Septum or papillary muscle, acute aortic insufficiency, myocardial contusion, prosthetic valve dysfunction  
🗑
Obstructive Shock   Blocked blood flow into or out of the heart: Decreased RV filling (decreased preload) or Systemic obstruction  
🗑
Causes of Obstructive Shock   Tension PTX,Pericardial Disease (tamponade),Pulmonary obstruction (massive PE),Cardiac disease (atrial myxoma, HOCM, subacute bacterial endocarditis)  
🗑
Early on, the ____ is able to compensate for shock to maintain perfusion to the heart (coronary) and brain (cerebral)   ANS  
🗑
Early on in shock, the ANS stimulates vascular baroreceptors in order to:   arteriorlar vasoconstriction: blood is shunted from skin, sk mm, and splanchnic vascular beds,Venous constriction resulting in increased preload,Increased HR and contractility,Release of Epi, NE, DA, Cortisol as well as ADH and stimulation of RAAS  
🗑
Compensated   Body is able to continue to perfuse vital organs.Blood shunted away from skin/muscle, then liver, kidneys.Clinically: the diastolic pressure is increased, tachycardic, pale, diaphoretic, decreased UOP  
🗑
Decompensated   Continued cellular impairment overwhelms the body's ability to shunt, Severe AMS, Hypotension, death  
🗑
SIRS   early sepsis. 2+ of the followin: temp >38 or <36, P>90bpm, RR>20 or PaCO2<32mmHg, WBC>12,000 or <4,000 or 10% bands  
🗑
Sepsis   SIRS + evidence of infection  
🗑
Severe Sepsis   evidence of organ dysfunction (AMS, oliguria, liver failure, ARDS) Usually has hypotension that is responsive to fluids. Person does not look well! Need IVs for fluid and Abx  
🗑
Severe Septic Shock   sepsis that does not respond to fluid resuscitation. Ex: systolic bp still 80 after fluids delivered..this is when you are giving pressers  
🗑
Class I   up to 750 cc blood loss (up to 15% blood vol), P<100, BP nl, PP nl or increased, RR:14-20, UOP (cc/hr)>30, Mental: slightly anxious, crystalloid

🗑
Cardiogenic Shock Presentation in Penetrating injury (ex: stabwound in sub xyphoid position)   cardiac tamponade most common  
🗑
Intracranial injuries do not cause   neurogenic shock  
🗑
Spinal cord injury may cause loss of   sympathetic tone resulting in vasodilation below the injury and bradycardia. Spinal cord injury pts frequently are hypovolemic as well, so initial management is IVF. Tx: fluid, methylpredinisolone, atropine as needed, possibly DA  
🗑
Septic Shock tx   IVf, abx, EGDT once hemorrhage is controlled  
🗑

🗑
Tension Pneumothorax management   large bore IV catheter (14 gauge) needle decompression (midclavicular line 2nd intercostal space). Should correct marked vital signs, especially hypotension  
🗑
Circulation management when assessing shock in trauma   pulses? (radial disappears w/ sbp<80, absent pulses give clues as to where vascular injuries have occurred), pt tachy? hypotensive, what kind of IV access does pt have? Where is blood being lost?

CXR widened mediastinum, Chest CT if stable. Rib fx/clavicular fx may cause lung or vascular lacerations. Tx: large bore chest tube to drain blood, OR  
🗑
Tx of hypovolemic shock when blood is in the abdomen/pelvis   nl CXR and no external bleeding=assume intra-abdominal/retroperitoneal hemorrhage. FAST or CT

🗑
Tx of shock without h/o trauma may include: fluids, abx, surgical (abscess, obstructive cholangitis), corticosteroids (high dose steroids) and   Activated Protein C (XIGRIS) - decreases mortality from sepsis, decreases production of thrombin and increases fibrinolysis  
🗑
Cardiogenic Shock without trauma (treat as cardiogenic shock from myocardial ischemia)   ABCs, O2, IV and cardiac monitoring (EKG and CXR stat), tx focuses on increasing inotropy, avoid benzo's and narcotics as they negate inotropy (use etomidate), tx emergent dysrhthmias per ACLS, for pressor support use dobutamine and DA  
🗑
If pharmacologic support fails in cardiogenic shock (without h/o trauma), then   the pt needs to be in an ICU for intra-aoric balloon pump counterpulsation (IABPC). This increases diastolic coronary perfusion which disrupts hypotension induced myocardial perfusion.  
🗑
