Shock
Question | Answer |
---|---|
what is the purpose of perfusion | to provide nutrients and remove cellular wastes through blood circulation |
describe the process of SIRS | overwhelming inflammatory reaction, develops significant damage to body --> all major systems compensate |
what systems compensate for SIRS | SNS and endocrine response similar to alarm stage of stress response which will increase catecholamines, glucocorticoids, minealcorticords, ADH, angiotensin II |
symptoms to diagnose SIRS | increased HR, cardiac output and respiratory rate with a decreased GI activity and urine output |
the progression of SIRS can lead to | CARS |
CARS does what to the immune system | decreases it |
if someone gets CARS what 2 things can they develop | an overwhelming infection in the blood or sepsis |
septic shock | when the body is not receiving adequate perfusion |
if more than 2 organs start to dysfunction it can lead to ? | MODS |
if we are unable to reverse MODS, the patient will what? | die |
describe CARS and how can this lead to an increased risk of infection when it's supposed to be a compensatory reaction | after SIRS, leads to increased infection risk because it's so busy compensating it often forgets about it's main job because it's focused on something different |
describe sepsis and how it leads to septic shock | sepsis is a blood stream infection and it overwhelms the immune system most common form is bacterial sepsis |
key manifestations that will arter the nurse to the presence of sepsis | confusion, hypoxemia, elevated plasma lactate level, oliguria any type of infection in an organ that looks like it's been spread to the blood stream |
describe MODS | progressive and potentially reversible dysfunction of 2 or more organs |
MODS stage 1 symptoms | increased volume requirements, mild respiratory alkalosis, oliguria, hyperglycemia, increased insulin requirements |
MODS stage 2 symptoms | tachypnea, hypocapnea, hypoxemia, moderate liver dysfunction with possible hematologicla changes |
MODS stage 3 symptoms | shock with azotemia & acid base disturbances significant coagulation abnormalities |
MODS stage 4 symptoms | vasopressor dependent, oliguric or anuric, ischemic colitis, lactic acidosis |
define shock | the inability of the heart and lungs to satisfy needs of peripheral tissues |
5 types of shock | cardiogenic, hypovolemic, neurogenic, anaphylactic, septic |
initial phase of shock | sudden drop in tissue perfusion activation of SNS and RAAS |
patient symptoms during initial phase of shock | increased HR, RR and pale |
goal of initial phase of shock | to compensate to maintain perfusion |
progressive phase shock | decrease perfusion of lungs, kidneys, gut, pancreas and liver, as perfusion decreased further manifestations develop |
patient symptoms during progressive phase of shock | decreases GFR and Gi peristalsis increased toxins |
goal of progressive phase of shock | to conserve blood for heart and blood |
irreversible phase of shock | perfusion no longer maintained to heart and brain, myocardial and cerebral ischemia, widespread cellular hypoxia anaerobic metabolism |
patient symptoms during irreversible phase of shock | hyperkalemia and EKG |
goal of irreversible phase of shock | at this point your body is at a downward spiral -> organelles fail, cell dies and release lysosomal enzymes |
inflammatory response to shock | immune system stimulated by cellular breakdown chemotaxis, intestinal barrier breaks down with hypoxia, stimulating immune response further, massive cytokines release leading to capillary permeability, compromising perfusion further |
lactic acidosis response to shock | result of anaerobic metabolism due to inadequate oxygen, lactic acid levels build up -> cardiac, respiratory, neurological & brain function are adversely affected --> progressively worsen with increasing lactic acid levels |
causes of septic shock | from sepsis - typically a bacterial infection |
septic shock symptoms | severely low BP, cool & clammy hands, delayed capillary refill, confusion, high WBC count |
what makes septic shock so unique | pink & warm flushed skin with a full bounding pulse |
causes of cardiogenic shock | problem with the pump |
cardiogenic shock symptoms | low urine output, cyanosis, altered mental status, increased heart rate and low BP |
what makes caridogenic shock so unique | crackles and tachycardia |
hypovolemic shock causes | hemorrhage, severe dehydration, decreased venous return, reduced intravascular blood volume |
hypovolemic shock symptoms | hypotension, tachycardia, weak & thready pulse |
hypovolemic shock compensatory mechanisms | RAAS and SNS activated to help with vasoconstriction and fluid retention |
what makes hypovolemic shock so unique | cold and clammy hands |
anaphylactic shock cause | overwhelming immune response to an allergen |
anaphylactic shock symptoms | swelling of the throat, bronchoconstriction, wheezing, respiratory distress |
septic shock compensatory mechanisms | epinephrine and cortisol |
what makes anaphylactic shock unique | stridor |
neurogenic shock causes | spinal cord injury ABOVE T6, brain injury, or during anesthesia |
neurogenic shock symptoms | hypotension, vasodilation, low & slow vitals |
neurogenic shock mechanisms | body is unable to compensate for low BP |
what makes neurogenic shock unique | bradycardia and warm dry skin |
