Question
Answer
define shock   decreased blood supply to tissue  
🗑
clinical manifestations of shock   decreased BP, increase HR, increased RR, cool extremities, lowered urinary output, may or may not be conscious  
🗑
6 types of shock   hypovolemic, cardiogenic, distributive, anaphylactic, neurogenic, septic  
🗑
define hypovolemic shock   blood loss or fluid shifts  
🗑
define cardiogenic shock   pump failure  
🗑
define disributive shock   vasodilatation  
🗑
define anaphylactic shock   allergic response  
🗑
define neurogenic shock   lack of SNS stimulation  
🗑
define septic shock   infection (bacteria/fungi)  
🗑
4 nursing considerations for patients with shock   assess condition, treat cause, positioning, medicaitons  
🗑
example of treating cause of shock (ie: blood loss)   stop hemorrhage, start IV, push fluids, give blood  
🗑
example of treating cause of shock (ie: septic)   give antibiotics  
🗑
positioning to help with shock   feet up, except HOB elevated with cardiogenic shock  
🗑
What positioning is used in cardiogenic shock?   HOB elevated  
🗑
general medications used in shock   adrenergic agents (vasopressors); always given on a pump, close monitoring of patient  
🗑
How are medicaitons given for shock?   always on a pump  
🗑
prototype medication for shock   epinephrine (adrenalin)  
🗑
what type of medication is epinephrine (Adrenalin)?   potent inotropic = cardiac simulation  
🗑
Therapeutic use for epinephrine (adrenalin)   usually for severe anaphylactic shock, allergy (not cardiac shock or cardiac dysrhythmias)  
🗑
Kinetics of epinephrine (adrenalin)   IV, SC (Epi-pen), inhalation  
🗑
dynamics of epinephrine (adrenalin): onset   immediate, peak 2-5 (minutes), duration 5-10 (minutes)  
🗑
What type of medication is norephinephrine (Levophed)?   potent vasoconstrictor  
🗑
Kinetics of norephinephrine (Levophed)   IV titrated according to BP  
🗑
Norephinephrine (Levophed) is drug of choice for what?   (vasodilatation)  
🗑
When is norephinephrine (levophed) used?   after dopamine or dobutamine has been tried  
🗑
Therapeutic uses of dopamine (intropin)   hypotension, increased CO  
🗑
Advantages of using dopamine (intropin)   low dosages (less than 0.5-10 mcg/kg/min) stimulate urinary function  
🗑
Therapeutic uses of dobutamine (Dobutrex)   cardiogenic shock (acts on beta receptors)  
🗑
How does dobutamine (Dobutrex) help in cardiogenic shock?   enhance cardiac contraction, stroke volume and cardiac output  
🗑
Dobutamine (Dobutrex) is less likely to cause what?   hypertension, tachycardia  
🗑
Therapeutic use of metaraminol (Aramine)   hypotension associated with spinal anesthesia; less potent and longer duration  
🗑
How should drugs for shock be started?   on an infusion pump  
🗑
When observing for therapeutic effect of drugs for shock what are you monitoring?   BP, increase urine output, increased heart rate  
🗑
Adverse effects of medications for shock   tachycardia, dysrhythmias, hypertension, chest pain  
🗑
