Shock is an imbalance between ___ and ____.
supply, demand
What is the biggie with neurogenic shock?
bradycardia and vasodilation; loss of nerve function
What is occurring in Stage 1?
cellular changes, production of lactic acid
How is Stage 1 diagnosed?
lactic acid
What are the normal clues for Stage 1?
normal BP, increased HR, few signs of metabolic acidosis
What is not sufficient in Stage II?
oxygen
What s/s are present in Stage II?
modeling, increased creatinine and BUN, increased liver enzymes, sodium, potassium pump fails
50% of septic shock patients end up getting ____.
DIC
_____ is big time in Stage II?
hypotension
What type of fluids will most likely be ordered for stage II fluid resuscitation?
NS rapid infusion
What happens in Stage III?
mega cell death; irreversible tissue damage
What is S.I.R.S
systemic inflammatory response syndrome
What is the main problem with shock?
inflammatory response releasing inflammatory mediators
What is specific criteria for S.I.R.S?
WBC, temperature
What is happening in the capillaries in shock?
blockage, obstruction (fibrin formation)
What is extremely instrumental in treating shock?
hemodynamic monitoring: CVP and BP
What type of dysrhythmia is associated with shock?
PVC
What is the maximum amount of oxygen that can be administered to a patient?
15 L (non-rebreather)
What are the first s/s of ARDS?
hypoxemia, increased RR
How do we classically diagnose ARDS?
CXR: white-out
What can occur within 48 hours of shock onset related to gastrointestinal?
stress ulcers: PPIs, H2 blockers; check for blood in stools
This renal manifestation indicates progressive shock.
Oliguria (less than 20ml/hr)
What are the types of distributive shock?
septic, anaphylactic, neurogenic (vasodilation)
What causes metabolic acidosis?
lactic acid (anaerobic metabolism)
What is the most important electrolyte for diagnosing dehydration?
sodium
What is the universal blood donor?
O-
What are colloids?
maintains oncotic pressure; keep fluids in vascular space
If there is no problem with ascites or edema, which type of fluid is appropriate to treat shock?
colloids
What is the best drug choice for increasing myocardial contractility?
Dobutamine
What is the main thing we're going to do for hypovolemic shock?
give blood replacement; then fluids, then vasoconstrictors (Dopamine, NE, vasopressin)
What are the big signs of decreased CO?
low blood pressure, low MAP
What type of sound is an S3?
ventricular
What lab value is important for diagnosing cardiogenic shock?
troponin
What is another important lab value for diagnosing cardiogenic shock?
Pro-BNP (indicates hypervolemia)
Why is Nitrate effective in cardiogenic shock?
helps with perfusion; must have BP; decrease afterload
What is the main treatment for cardiogenic shock?
fluids, inotropic medications
What is PCWP?
pulmonary catheter wedge pressure (estimate patients of fluid status); now use CVP to assess fluid status
What is the big deal with distributive shock?
massive vasodilation
What is the criteria for S.I.R.S.?
temp >38 C, WBC >12,000, RR >20, HR > 90bpm
What is the first s/s of septic shock?
warm, dry skin; flushing
What is secondary to shunting of the GI tract?
N/V
What type of labs do you want to get with septic shock?
lactate, WBC with diff, CBC with diff
What are D-dimers?
first indicator that body is starting to clot
What are you going to get before you give ABX?
blood cultures
What are the broad spectrum ABX?
carbapenems, flouroquinolones
How fast do you want to give a broad spectrum ABX?
within one hour; get C&S to determine specific bacteria after broad spectrum is started
What does Xigris do?
decreases inflammation and helps with coagulation cascade
When is spinal shock over?
when there is return of reflexes
What type of bronchodilators are appropriate for anaphylactic shock?
Beta 2 agonists (Albuterol)
What lab do you want to check with DIC?
d-dimer
