ms shock
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| defined as a complex, life-threatening condition or syndrome with a variety of underlying causes characterized by inadequate blood flow to the tissues (Tissue perfusion) and cells of the body. | Shock |
| A condition in which systemic blood pressure is inadequate to deliver oxygen and nutrients to support vital organs and cellular function | Shock |
| Components of Shock | Adequate cardiac pump Effective vasculature or circulatory system Sufficient blood volume |
| What happens in shock? | 1. Inadequate perfusion 2. Anaerobic metabolism 3. Buildup of lactic acid 4. Metabolic acidosis 5. Respiratory rate increases in response to metabolic acidosis. |
| TYPES OF SHOCK | a) Hypovolemic shock b) cardiogenic shock c) circulatory or distributive d) obstructive shock |
| It occurs when a significant amount of fluid is lost from the intravascular space, fluid are may be blood, plasma, electrolytes solution . | HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK |
| It is the most common type of shock | HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK |
| occurs when the heart’s ability to pump blood is impaired. | CARDIOGENIC SHOCK |
| This is a condition that results from inadequate perfusion of body tissue with oxygenated blood that is insufficient to sustain life; cardiac output is decreased/ diminished. | CARDIOGENIC SHOCK |
| With this type, the vasculature is dilated, making it difficult for the heart to move blood and fluid to the rest of the body | Vasogenic shock (distributive) |
| Types of Vasogenic shock (distributive) | Septic shock Anaphylactic shock |
| Massive infection leads to sepsis as a result of the release of endotoxins from bacteria; this causes vasodilation and pooling of blood. | Septic shock |
| A group of symptoms or syndrome in response to an infection that can include organ dysfunction related to the infection | Sepsis |
| The main causative organisms in sepsis | gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria |
| Three major effects septic shock has on the body include | 1 vasodilation, 2 maldistribution of blood flow, and 3 myocardial depression. |
| Septic shock interventions, fluid replacement | 30 to 50 mL/kg fluid resuscitation with isotonic crystalloids; albumin may also be administered as a later intervention. |
| administered to clients with inadequate blood pressure readings despite fluid resuscitation and vasopressor therapy | Intravenous corticosteroids |
| what to administer in septic shock if on a mechanical ventilator and venous thromboembolism prophylaxis. | stress ulcer prophylaxis |
| An allergic reaction to substances such as drugs, food, or insect bites leads to anaphylactic shock, which results in an acute and life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction. | Anaphylactic shock |
| A phenomenon that occurs after spinal cord injury. The injury results in massive vasodilation without compensation as a consequence of the loss of spinal nervous system vasoconstrictor tone; this leads to a pooling of blood in the blood vessels. | Neurogenic shock |
| A type of shock that is caused by a physical obstruction that reduces the filling or outflow of blood from the heart that results in a reduced cardiac output. d | Obstructive Shock |
| reflects bld flow reaching the tissues | Cardiac Output |
| Normal Cardiac Output | 4-6 l/m |
| Amount of pressure the blood is placing on the walls of the vessels as the blood leaves the heart | MAP |
| Normal MAP | 70 mmHg- 105 mmHg |
| A measure of pressure in terms of R ventricular preload; measures the pressure of the blood returning from the body to the heart. N CVP 3-8 mm Hg | Central Venous Pressure (CVP) |
| means R ventricular Failure and volume overload | elevated CVP |
| a measure of perfusion to the brain | Cerebral Perfusion Pressure (CPP) |
| Formula of CPP | CPP=MAP-ICP |
| A CPP of <50 mmHg is associated with | ischemia and tissue death |
| Stages of Shock | INITIAL COMPENSATORY PROGRESSIVE IRREVERSIBLE |
| restlessness, inc HR, cool and pale skin, agitation. the cardiac output is insufficient to supply the normal nutritional needs of tissues but not low enough to cause serious symptoms. | Stage 1 INITIAL STAGE |
| CO is <100 mmHg, dec urine output, confusion, and the CPP is less than 70 mmHg | Stage 2 COMPENSATORY STAGE |
| Edema, excessively low blood pressure, dysrhythmias, weak and thready pulses | Stage 3 PROGRESSIVE STAGE |
| This stage is unresponsive to vasopressors; there is profound hypotension, the heart rate slows, and multiple organ failure ensues. Most often, the client will not survive. | Stage 4 IRREVERSIBLE STAGE |
| The primary goal in shock | improve tissue perfusion |
| administered to increase cardiac contractility and induce vasoconstriction. | Cardiotonic medications such as digoxin, dopamine, or norepinephrine |
| Vasoactive medications to improve cardiac contractility | Dopamine, Dobutamine, Noradrenaline. |
| characterized by generalized inflammation in organs separate from the initial affected area | Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) |
| it is a serious condition and may be caused by a severe bacterial infection (sepsis), trauma, or pancreatitis. | Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) |
| A complication of sepsis; the failure of two or more organ systems as a result of SIRS, in which homeostasis cannot be maintained without intervention | Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) |
| Prognosis is poor once three or more organ systems fail. | Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) |
