What are the 4 stages of shock?
Initial, compensatory, decompensatory, and refractory
What are the 4 different main types of shock?
Hypovolemic, Cardiogenic, Obstructive, and Distributive
What characterizes the initial stage of shock?
Conversion to anaerobic metabolism due to hypoxia, which results in acidosis through lactate production and sequential tissue damage--also cells that require large amounts of energy go into metabolic failure and cell death
What characterizes the compensatory stage of shock?
Five elements: Baroreceptor reflex, RA system, peripheral and central Chemoreceptors, and Capillary fluid movement
Does the baroreceptor reflex cause veinous constriction too?
YES
Where is renin stored and released? What causes its release? What are its three effects?
Juxtaglomerular cells of the afferent arteriole--low renal perfusion pressure--
1. Peripheral VASOCONSTRICTION
2. Aldosterone release
3. ADH release
Where are the peripheral chemoreceptors and what do they stimulate?
In the aortic arch and carotid bifurcation and they stimulate increased breathing rate
What are the features of the decompensatory stage of shock?
Acidosis due to RA system inducing renal vasoconstriction leading to reduced urine output and high [H+]--Cardiac failure from reduced coronary blood flow--agglutination of RBC's forming clots(sludged blood)--immune cell dysfunction--low intestinal blood flow leading to death of gram negative bacteria
What are the effects of shock acidosis in the body?
Depress myocardial function and impair responsiveness of heart to Symp stimulation--Reduces sensitivity of vessels to catecholamines and blunts the symp affect there too!
What characterizes the refractory stage of shock?
Brain damage and cell death
Losing how much blood volume leads to hypovolemic shock?
1-2 L
What does the body do in response to hypovolemic shock?
Tachycardia and increased TPR--rapid and shallow respirations due to symp activation and acidosis
How do you treat hypovolemic shock?
If blood loss is >20% then give a transufsion--otherwise give electrolytes to boost blood volume
How should you NOT treat hypovolemic shock?
Vasoconstrictive therapy--ineffective in the context of acidosis
What are the two obstructive shock scenarios? What are the symptoms? What are the treatments?
Cardiac tamponade and pulmonary embolism
Jugular vein distention and Pulsus Paradoxus(can't detect radial pulse during heard heart beat)
Anticoag for embolism and draining for tamponade
What are the three types of distributive shock?
Anaphylactic, neurogenic, and Septic
See Slide 31 for cardiogenic shock treatments
Slide 31
What changes in the peripheral vasculature during distributive shock?
Dilation of non-vital vascular beds that results in a redistribution of blood volume and significant reduction in venous return
What is a sign of neurogenic shock?
Skin remains warm due to lack of Symp mediated vasoconstriction
What happens during early stage sepsis?
Endothelial injury causes chemokine release that attracts immune cells--cytokines are also released--nitric oxide causes peripheral vasodilation and increased metabolism--an increase in cardiac output
What can be detected in late stage sepsis?
Cyclooxygenase-2 and Nitric Oxide Synthase 2--Also increased vascular permeability with loss of protein rich fluid in the interstitium
What happens with age that is related to shock risk?
Changes in organ function increases susceptibility--see slide 55 for more details
