Shock can best be defined as a condition in which tissue perfusion is ______ to deliver oxygen and nutrients to support vital organs and cellular function.
Inadequate
Shock and Its Significance
Adequate blood flow to the tissues and cells requires the following components:
Adequate cardiac pump; effective vasculature or circulatory system; sufficient blood volume
Shock and Its Significance
Without treatment, ______ blood flow to the tissues results in poor delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the cells, cellular starvation, cell death, organ dysfunction progressing to organ failure, and eventual death.
Inadequate
Shock and Its Significance
Shock affects ______ body systems. It may develop ______ or ______, depending on the underlying cause.
All; rapidly or slowly
Shock and Its Significance
During shock, the body struggles to survive, calling on all its ______ mechanisms to restore blood flow.
hemeostatic
Shock and Its Significance
Any insult to the body can create a cascade of events resulting in poor tissue ______. Therefore, almost any patient with any disease state may be at risk for developing ______.
Perfusion; shock
Shock and It's Significance
Nursing care of patients with shock requires ongoing systematic ______.
Assessment
Shock and Its Singificance
Circulatory shock state resulting from a severe allergic reaction producting an overwhelming systemic vasodilation and relative hypovolemia:
Anaphylactic shock
Glossary
Messenger substances that may be released by a cell to create an action at that site or be carried by the bloodstream to a distant site before being activated; also called cytokines:
Biochemical mediators
Glossary
Shock state resulting from impairment of failure of the myocardium:
Cardiogenic shock
Glossary
Intravenous solutions that contain molecules that are too large to pass through capillary membranes:
Colloids
Glossary
Electrolyte solutions that move freely between the intravascular compartment and interstitial spaces:
Crystalloids
Glossary
Shock state resulting from displacement of blood volume creating a relative hypovolemia and inadequate delivery of oxygen to the cells; also called distributive shock:
Circulatory shock
Glossary
Shock state resulting from decreased intravascular volume due to fluid loss:
Hypovolemic shock
Classification of Shock
Circulatory shock state resulting from overwhelming infection causing relative hypovolemia:
Septic shock
Glossary
Shock state resulting from loss of sympathetic tone causing relative hypovolemia:
Neurogenic shock
Glossary
Physiologic state in which there is inadequate blood flow to tissues and cells of the body:
Shock
Glossary
Overwhelming inflammatory response in the absence of infection causing relative hypovolemia and decreased tissue perfusion:
(SRS) Systemic inflammatory response syndrome
Glossary
Conventionally, the primary underlying ______ process and the underlying disorder are used to classify the shock state.
Pathophysiologic
Classification of Shock
______ shock occurs when there is a decrease in the intravascular volume.
Hypovolemic
Classification of Shock
______ shock occurs when the heart has an impaired pumping ability; it may be of coronary or noncoronary event origin.
Cardiogenic
Classification of Shock
______ shock is caused by an infection.
Septic
Classification of Shock
______ shock is caused by alterations in vascular smooth muscle tone, caused by either nervous system injury or complications associated with medications such as epidural anesthesia.
Neurogenic
Classification of Shock
______ shock is caused by a hypersensitivity reaction.
Anaphylactic
Classification of Shock
Shock states that are caused by a loss of vascular tone, including septic, neurogenic, and anaphylactic shock, are discussed as ______ ______ (also termed distributive or vasoactive shock).
Circulatory shock
Classification of Shock
The physiologic responses common to all types of shock are ______ of the tissues, ______ - metabolism and activation of the ______ response.
Hypoperfusion; hyper; imflammatory
Shock and Its Significance
The body responds to shock states by activating the ______ nervous system and mounting a ______ - metabolic and ______ response.
Sympathetic; hyper; inflammatory
Conditions Precipitating Shock
A derangement in the compensatory mechanisms to effectively restore physiologic balance is the final pathway of all ______ states.
Shock
Classification of Shock
Once shock develops, the patient's survival may have more to do with the body's ______ than with the initial cause of shock.
Response
Shock and Its Significance
The final common pathway of all forms of shock is inadequate ______ to the cells that results in cellular hypoxia, end organ damage, and ultimately death.
Perfusion
Energy metabolism occurs within the cell, where nutrients are chemically broken down and stored in the form of ______.
(ATP)Adenosine triphosphate
Normal Cellular Function
Cells use the stored energy of ATP to perform necessary ______, such as active transport, muscle contration, and biochemical synthesis, as well as specialized cellular function, such as the conduction of electrical impulses.
Functions
Normal Cellular Function
______ can be synthesized aerobically (in the presence of oxygen) or anaerobically (in the absence of oxygen).
(ATP) adenosine triphosphate
Normal Cellular Function
Aerobic metabolism yield far ______ amounts of ATP per mole of glucose than does anaerobic metabolism; therefore, it is a more efficient and effective means of producing energy.
Greater
Normal Cellular Function
______ metabolism results in the accumulation of the toxic end product, lactic acid, which must be removed from the cell and transported to the liver for conversion into glucose and glycogen.
Anaerobic
Normal Cellular Function
In ______, the cells lack an adequate blood supply and are deprived of oxygen and nutrients; therefore, they must produce energy through anaerobic metabolism.
Shock
Pathophysiology
______ metabolism results in low energy yields from nutrients and an acidotic intracellular environment. Because of these changes, normal cell function ceases.
Anaerobic
Pathophysiology
During ______ metabolism the cell swells and the cell membrane becomes more permeable, allowing electrolytes and fluids to seep out of and into the cell. The sodium-potassium pump becomes impaired; cell structures, primarily the mitochondria, are damaged; and death of the cell results.
Anaerobic
Pathophysiology
Because ______ is the primary substrate required for the production of cellular energy in the form of ATP, in stress states, the net result is hyperglycemia to meet increased metabolic demands.
Glucose
Pathophysiology
Continued activation of the ______ response by shock states causes a depletion of glycogen stores, resulting in increased proteolysis and eventual organ failure.
Stress
Pathophysiology
