“A momentary pause in the act of
death.”
DR AMR ELHENY
Inadequate perfusion (blood flow) leading to inadequate oxygen
delivery to tissues
Shock: a life-threatening disorder of the circulatory system that
results in inadequate organ perfusion and tissue hypoxia, which,
in turn, causes metabolic disturbances and, ultimately,
irreversible organ damage

Flow = Perfusion
Adequate Flow =
Adequate Perfusion
Inadequate Flow =
Indequate Perfusion
(Hypoperfusion)
Hypoperfusion =
Shock
What is needed to maintain perfusion?
 Pump
 Pipes
 Fluid

Heart
Blood Vessels
Blood
How can perfusion fail?
 Pump Failure
 Pipe Failure
 Loss of Volume
6
 General diagnostics
 Assess heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation (pulse
oximetry)
 Measure central venous pressure via central venous catheter
 Catheterize the bladder to assess urine output.
 Renal function tests: ↑ BUN and creatinine indicate acute renal
failure
 Arterial blood gas analysis: lactic acidosis (commonly elevated
in septic shock)
 Clotting parameters: ↓ AT-III, ↓ fibrinogen,
and thrombocytopenia, with ↑ fibrin degradation products
(FDP) (e.g., D-dimer) indicate a consumption coagulopathy
 Liver function
tests: hyperbilirubinemia, ↑ AST/ALT indicate acute liver failure
 Electrolytes (especially sodium, potassium, and calcium)
 See specific diagnostics in respective sections below
General treatment
 Monitor blood pressure and heart rate
 Establish airway, breathing, and circulation
(apply high-flow oxygen if necessary)
 See specific treatment in respective sections below
Stages of Shock
Initial stage - tissues are under perfused, decreased CO,
increased anaerobic metabolism, lactic acid is building
Compensatory stage - Reversible. SNS activated by low CO,
attempting to compensate for the decrease tissue perfusion.
Progressive stage - Failing compensatory mechanisms:
profound vasoconstriction from the SNS ISCHEMIA
Lactic acid production is high metabolic acidosis
Irreversible or refractory stage - Cellular necrosis and
Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome may occur
DEATH IS IMMINENT!!!!
Hypovolemic shock
 Etiology
 Hemorrhage
 Blunt/penetrating trauma (e.g., pelvic ring/femur fractures)
 Upper GI bleeding (e.g., variceal bleeding)
 Postpartum hemorrhage
 Ruptured aneurysm or hematoma
 Arteriovenous fistula
 Nonhemorrhagic fluid loss Nonhemorrhagic fluid loss usually
results in dehydration as a result of free water loss.
Severe dehydration can result in intravascular volume
depletion and hypovolemic shock.
 GI loss: diarrhea, vomiting
 Increased insensible fluid loss (e.g., burns, Stevens-Johnson
syndrome)
 Third space fluid loss (e.g., bowel obstruction)
 Renal fluid loss (e.g., adrenal insufficiency, drug-induced diuresis)
 Pathophysiology: loss of intravascular fluid volume
→ ↓ CO and PCWP → compensatory ↑ SVR
 Clinical features
 Weak pulse, tachycardia, tachypnea
 Hypotension
 Physical examination might show:
 Cold, clammy extremities, slow capillary refill
 Decreased skin turgor, dry mucous membranes
 Nondistended jugular veins
 Findings related to the underlying disease: e.g.,
bleeding, melena, hematemesis, diarrhea
Classification of haemorrghic shock
Diagnostics: mostly clinical
 Imaging to identify the underlying cause such as:
 X-ray: pelvic ring fractures, hematothorax
 FAST scan: intra-abdominal hemorrhage
 ↓ Hemoglobin and hematocrit (can be normal
initially Both hemoglobin and hematocrit levels may remain
unchanged in the early phase of a hemorrhagic shock. The levels
of hemoglobin and hematocrit begin to fall only with the onset of
the compensatory shift of extravascular fluid into
the intravascular compartment.)
 Pulmonary artery catheterization
 ↓ PCWP (< 15 mmHg)
 ↓ CO
 ↑ SVR
Treatment
 Fluid resuscitation
 In the case of hemorrhage
 Hemostasis
 Possibly blood transfusion in a 3:1 (fluid-to-blood) ratio
 Complications: acute renal failure
Cardiogenic shock
 Etiology
 Myocardial infarction (MI) is the most common cause.
 Arrhythmias
 Heart failure
 Cardiomyopathy
 Myocarditis
 Ventricular septal defect, ventricular rupture
 Severe aortic or mitral regurgitation
 Certain drugs (e.g., beta blockers, calcium channel blockers)
 Blunt cardiac trauma
 Pathophysiology: underlying event causes dysfunction of
the heart → heart failure → ↓ CO and blood pressure
→ ↑ catecholamines → vasoconstriction and ↑ myocardial oxygen
demand → ↑ renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system →
further ↑ vasoconstriction and retention of sodium and water
→ shunting of blood to brain and vital organs
→ insufficient perfusion of peripheral organs
Clinical features
 Weak pulse, tachycardia
 Hypotension
 Dyspnea
 Mental status change
 Other clinical features related to the underlying disease:
 Chest pain in MI
 Palpitations, syncope in arrhythmias
 Physical examination might show:
 Cold, clammy extremities, poor capillary refill
 Abnormal auscultatory findings (e.g., S3, S4)
 Pulmonary edema, diffuse lung crackles (fine basal crepitations)
 Elevated JVP and distended neck veins
Diagnostics: mostly clinical
 Identifying the cause
 ECG: myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmias
 Cardiac markers (e.g., ↑ troponin I, troponin T): to identify acute
coronary syndrome
 Echocardiography: valvular lesions
 Pulmonary artery catheterization: to monitor hemodynamic
parameters as a guide to therapy
 ↑ PCWP (> 15 mmHg), can also be ↓
 ↓ CO
 ↑ SVR
Treatment: based on the
underlying cause
 Cardiopulmonary resuscitation if necessary
 Inotropic therapy: to maintain perfusion
 Dopamine in patients with low blood
pressure
 Dobutamine in patients with normal blood
pressure
 Vasopressors: norepinephrine
 Intra-aortic balloon pump if medical therapy fails
 Diuresis
 Treat the underlying cause (e.g., revascularization in MI): See respective
treatment sections in the articles listed in “Etiology” above.
 See “Initial treatment of hemodynamically unstable patients with acute
heart failure.”

 Tension pneumothorax
 Intrathoracic tumor
 ↑ Ventricular afterload
 Massive pulmonary embolism (PE)
 Aortic dissection
 Aortic stenosis
 Large systemic emboli
 Severe pulmonary hypertension
 Pathophysiology: obstruction of the heart or its
great vessels → inability of the heart to circulate blood
→ ↓ CO → compensatory ↑ SVR
 Clinical features: similar to hypovolemic shock
 Weak pulse, tachycardia
 Hypotension
 Other clinical features related to the underlying disease:
chest pain in PE
 Physical examination might show:
 Cold, clammy extremities
 Poor capillary refill
 Elevated JVP and distended neck veins
Diagnostics: mostly clinical
 Identifying the cause
 Echocardiography: cardiac tamponade
 CT pulmonary angiography: pulmonary embolism
 Chest x-ray: pneumothorax
 Pulmonary artery catheterization: to monitor hemodynamic
parameters as a guide to therapy
 ↓ PCWP, except for cardiac tamponade
 ↑ PCWP in cardiac tamponade
 Elevation and equalization of pressures in all the cardiac chambers
differentiates cardiac tamponade from other causes of cardiogenic
shock.
 Normal or ↓ CO
 ↑ SVR
 Treatment: based on the underlying cause
 Cardiac tamponade: pericardiocentesis
 Pulmonary embolus: thrombolysis
 Tension pneumothorax: needle decompression followed
by chest tube insertion
 Complications: acute renal failure
Distributive shock
 Pathophysiology: redistribution of body fluid due
to vasodilation with/without capillary leakage
→ redistribution of fluid from the intravascular to the
extravascular compartment
 Types of distributive shock
 Septic shock (most common)
 Neurogenic shock
 Anaphylactic shock
 Etiology
 Infection (especially gram-negative bacteria) and bacteremia
 See “Etiology” in “Sepsis.”
 Pathophysiology: dysregulated host response to infection
→ capillary leakage, systemic vasodilation → acute and life-
threatening organ dysfunction
 Clinical features
 Fever is typical, but patients may be normothermic or hypothermic
 Tachycardia
 Hypotension with a wide pulse pressure
 Other clinical features related to the underlying
disease: cough in pneumonia, neck stiffness in meningitis

 First-line: norepinephrine
 Second-line: epinephrine
 Treat the underlying cause
 Early initiation of broad-
spectrum empirical antibiotic therapy (blood cultures should be
taken before initiating antibiotic therapy)
 Surgical therapy may be required in some cases
(e.g., peritonitis, necrotizing fasciitis)
 Complications: acute renal failure
Anaphylactic shock
 Etiology
 Drug reactions (e.g., sulfa drugs)
 Insect stings or bites (e.g., bee stings)
 Food allergies (e.g., peanuts)
 Contrast medium allergy
 Pathophysiology: immunologic anaphylaxis (type I hypersensitivity
reaction; IgE-mediated) or nonimmunologic anaphylaxis (not IgE-
mediated) → degranulation of mast cells → massive histamine release
→ systemic vasodilation and increased capillary leakage
 Clinical features: rapid onset of symptoms (minutes to hours)
 Tachycardia, tachypnea
 Hypotension
 Flushed, itchy skin (often hives)
 Bronchospasm, laryngeal edema → wheeze, stridor, dyspnea, cyanosis

 Neuraxial anesthesia
 Pathophysiology: damage of autonomic pathways → loss
of sympathetic vascular tone → unopposed vagal tone → periph
eral vasodilation → pooling of peripheral blood
 Clinical features

 Hypotension
 Flushed, warm skin
 Other clinical features related to the underlying disease:
neurological deficits (e.g., flaccid paralysis in spinal trauma)
Treatment
 Fluid resuscitation
 Atropine or pacing to treat bradycardia
 Vasopressors: if fluid resuscitation fails to
increase MAP beyond 90 mmHg
 Normal heart rate: phenylephrine
 If heart rate < 60/min: epinephrine
34
Cardiogenic Shock
 Pump failure
 Heart’s output depends on
 How often it beats (heart rate)
 How hard it beats (contractility)
 Rate or contractility problems cause pump failure
35
Cardiogenic Shock
 Causes
 Acute myocardial infarction
 Very low heart rates (bradycardias)
 Very high heart rates (tachycardias)
36
Why would a high heart rate caused decreased output?
Hint: Think about when the heart fills.
Neurogenic Shock
 Loss of peripheral resistance
 Spinal cord injured
 Vessels below injury dilate
37
What happens to the pressure in a
closed system if you increase its size?
Hypovolemic Shock
 Loss of volume
 Causes
 Blood loss: trauma
 Plasma loss: burns
 Water loss: Vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, increased
urine, increased respiratory loss
38
If a system that is supposed to be closed
leaks, what happens to the pressure in it?
Psychogenic Shock
 Simple fainting (syncope)
 Caused by stress, pain, fright
 Heart rate slows, vessels dilate
 Brain becomes hypoperfused
 Loss of consciousness occurs
39
What two problems combine to produce
hypoperfusion in psychogenic shock?
Septic Shock
 Results from body’s response to bacteria in
bloodstream
 Vessels dilate, become “leaky”
40
What two problems combine to produce
hypoperfusion in septic shock?
Anaphylactic Shock
 Results from severe allergic reaction
 Body responds to allergen by releasing histamine
 Histamine causes vessels to dilate and become
“leaky”
41
What two problems combine to produce
hypoperfusion in anaphylaxis?
OBSTRUCTIVE SHOCK
 Flow of blood is obstructed.
 Cardiac tamponade
 Constrictive pericarditis
 Tension pneumothorax.
 Massive pulmonary embolism
 Aortic stenosis.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF
SHOCK SYNDROME
Cells switch from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism
lactic acid production
Cell function ceases & swells
membrane becomes more permeable
electrolytes & fluids seep in & out of cell
Na+/K+ pump impaired
mitochondria damage
cell death
COMPENSATORY MECHANISMS: Sympathetic
Nervous System (SNS)-Adrenal Response
 Stimulated by baroreceptors
Increased heart rate
Increased contractility
Vasoconstriction (SVR-Afterload)
Increased Preload
COMPENSATORY MECHANISMS:
Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS)-Adrenal
Response
SNS - Hormonal: Renin-angiotension system
Decrease renal perfusion
Releases renin angiotension I
angiotension II potent vasoconstriction &
releases aldosterone adrenal cortex
sodium & water retention
COMPENSATORY MECHANISMS:
Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS)-Adrenal
Response
SNS - Hormonal: Antidiuretic Hormone
Osmoreceptors in hypothalamus stimulated
ADH released by Posterior pituitary gland
Vasopressor effect to increase BP
Acts on renal tubules to retain water
COMPENSATORY MECHANISMS:
Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS)-Adrenal
Response
SNS - Hormonal: Adrenal Cortex
Anterior pituitary releases adrenocorticotropic
hormone (ACTH)
Stimulates adrenal Cx to release glucorticoids
Blood sugar increases to meet increased metabolic
needs
Net results of cellular shock:
systemic lactic acidosis
decreased myocardial contractility
decreased vascular tone
decrease blood pressure, preload, and
cardiac output

Venous Oxygen Saturation
 Hg carries O2
 A percentage of O2 is extracted by the tissue for
cellular respiration
 Usually the cells extract < 30% of the O2
Venous Oxygen Saturation
 Svo2 = Mixed venous oxygen saturation
 Measured from pulmonary artery by Swan-Ganz catheter.

 A 22 year old man was driving drunk and without his seatbelt fastened when he
was involved in a
 single-vehicle automobile accident. When attended by EMT personnel, no
information was
 available about the time of the accident. He was found agitated and
complaining of abdominal
 pain. His airway was patent. At the scene, he was breathing at 20 per minute
with a blood
 pressure of 90/60 and a pulse of 130. He was placed in a hard cervical collar and
on a back board
 and transported to your emergency room. Upon arrival his vital signs are the
same, with a
 temperature of 36oC. His abdomen is markedly distended. His hands and feet
are cold, his legs
 mottled. A nasogastric tube reveals green liquid. A urinary catheter reveals
dark yellow urine. His
 hemoglobin is 7. His abdominal lavage reveals gross blood.
155
 Study Questions:
 What type of shock does this patient exhibit?
 What would be the cardiac output (low, normal,
high)?
 What would be the systematic resistance (low, normal,
high)?
 What would be the central venous and/or pulmonary
capillary occlusion pressure (low, normal,

159
STAGES OF SHOCK
160
161
Cardiogenic Shock
 Pump failure
 Heart’s output depends on
 How often it beats (heart rate)
 How hard it beats (contractility)
 Rate or contractility problems cause pump failure
162
Cardiogenic Shock
 Causes
 Acute myocardial infarction
 Very low heart rates (bradycardias)
 Very high heart rates (tachycardias)
163
Why would a high heart rate caused decreased output?
Hint: Think about when the heart fills.
164
165
Neurogenic Shock
 Loss of peripheral resistance
 Spinal cord injured
 Vessels below injury dilate
166
What happens to the pressure in a
closed system if you increase its size?
Hypovolemic Shock
 Loss of volume
 Causes
 Blood loss: trauma
 Plasma loss: burns
 Water loss: Vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, increased
urine, increased respiratory loss
167
If a system that is supposed to be closed
leaks, what happens to the pressure in it?
168
Psychogenic Shock
 Simple fainting (syncope)
 Caused by stress, pain, fright
 Heart rate slows, vessels dilate
 Brain becomes hypoperfused
 Loss of consciousness occurs
169
What two problems combine to produce
hypoperfusion in psychogenic shock?
Septic Shock
 Results from body’s response to bacteria in
bloodstream
 Vessels dilate, become “leaky”
170
What two problems combine to produce
hypoperfusion in septic shock?
Anaphylactic Shock
 Results from severe allergic reaction
 Body responds to allergen by releasing histamine
 Histamine causes vessels to dilate and become
“leaky”
171
What two problems combine to produce
hypoperfusion in anaphylaxis?
OBSTRUCTIVE SHOCK
 In this situation the flow of blood is obstructed which
impedes circulation and can result in circulatory arrest.
Several conditions result in this form of shock.
 Cardiac tamponade in which fluid in the pericardium prevents
inflow of blood into the heart (venous return). Constrictive
pericarditis, in which the pericardium shrinks and hardens, is
similar in presentation.
 Tension pneumothorax. Through increased intrathoracic pressure,
bloodflow to the heart is prevented (venous return).
 Massive pulmonary embolism is the result of a thromboembolic
incident in the bloodvessels of the lungs and hinders the return of
blood to the heart.
 Aortic stenosis hinders circulation by obstructing the
ventricular outflow tract
172
ENDOCRINE SHOCK
 Hypothyroidism, in critically ill patients, reduces cardiac
output and can lead to hypotension and respiratory
insufficiency.
 Thyrotoxicosis may induce a reversible cardiomyopathy.
 Acute adrenal insufficiency is frequently the result of
discontinuing corticosteroid treatment without tapering the
dosage. However, surgery and intercurrent disease in patients
on corticosteroid therapy without adjusting the dosage to
accommodate for increased requirements may also result in
this condition.
 Relative adrenal insufficiency in critically ill patients where
present hormone levels are insufficient to meet the higher
demands .
173
Shock:
Signs and Symptoms
 Restlessness, anxiety
 Increased pulse rate
 Decreasing level of
consciousness
 Dull eyes
 Rapid, shallow respirations
 Nausea, vomiting
 Thirst
 Diminished urine output
174
Why are these signs and symptoms present?
Hint: Think hypoperfusion
175
176
Shock:
Signs and Symptoms
 Hypovolemia will cause
 Weak, rapid pulse
 Pale, cool, clammy skin
 Cardiogenic shock may cause:
 Weak, rapid pulse or weak, slow
pulse
 Pale, cool, clammy skin
 Neurogenic shock will cause:
 Weak, slow pulse
 Dry, flushed skin
 Sepsis and anaphylaxis will
cause:
 Weak, rapid pulse
 Dry, flushed skin
177
Can you explain the differences in the
signs and symptoms?
Shock: Signs and Symptoms
 Patients with anaphylaxis will:
 Develop hives (urticaria)
 Itch
 Develop wheezing and difficulty breathing
(bronchospasm)
178
What chemical released from the body during an
allergic reaction accounts for these effects?
Shock:
Signs and Symptoms
179
Shock is NOT the same thing
as a low blood pressure!
A falling blood pressure
is a LATE sign of shock!
Shock:
Signs and Symptoms
 Obscure/Less viewed symptom of shock
 Drop in end tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) level
 Indicative of respiratory failure resulting in poor
oxygenation, therefore, poor perfusion or Shock
180
Severity of shock
 Compensated shock
 body’s cardiovascular and endocrine compensatory
responses reduce flow to non-essential organs to
preserve preload and flow to the lungs and brain.
 Apart from a tachycardia and cool peripheries
(vasoconstriction, circulating catecholamines) there
may be no other clinical signs of hypovolaemia.
181
 Decompensation
 Further loss of circulating volume overloads the body’s
compensatory mechanisms and there is progressive
renal, respiratory and cardiovascular decompensation.
 In general, loss of around 15% of the circulating blood
volume is within normal compensatory mechanisms.
 Blood pressure is usually well maintained and only
falls after 30–40% of the circulating volume has been
lost.
182
 Mild shock
 Initially there is tachycardia, tachypnoea and a mild
reduction in urine output and mild anxiety.
 Blood pressure is maintained although there is a
decrease in pulse pressure.
 The peripheries are cool and sweaty with prolonged
capillary refill times (except in septic distributive
shock).
183
 Moderate shock
 As shock progresses, renal compensatory mechanisms
fail, renal perfusion falls and urine output dips below
0.5 ml kg–1h–1.
 There is further tachycardia and now the blood
pressure starts to fall.
 Patients become drowsy and mildly confused.
184
 Severe shock
 In severe shock there is profound tachycardia and
hypotension.
 Urine output falls to zero and patients are unconscious
with laboured respiration
185
Treatment
 Secure, maintain airway (ABC’s)
 High concentration oxygen
 Assist ventilations
 Control obvious bleeding (consider TraumaDex®)
 Stabilize fractures
 Replace Fluids
 Prevent loss of body heat
 Transport rapidly to appropriate facility
186
Treatment
 Elevate lower extremities 8 to 12 inches in
hypovolemic shock (Trendelenberg Position)
 Do NOT elevate the lower extremities in
cardiogenic shock
187
Why the difference in
management?
Treatment
 Administer nothing by mouth, even if the patient
complains of thirst
188
TREATMENT
 Immediate intervention, even before a diagnosis is
made.
 Re-establishing perfusion to the organs is the primary
goal.
 Restoring and maintaining the blood circulating
volume ensuring oxygenation and blood pressure are
adequate, achieving and maintaining effective cardiac
function, and preventing complications. )
 Intubation and mechanical ventilation may be
necessary.
189
 In hypovolemic shock, caused by bleeding, it is necessary to
immediately control the bleeding and restore the casualty's blood
volume by giving infusions of isotonic crystalloid solutions. Blood
transfusions, packed red blood cells (RBCs), Albumin (or other colloid
solutions), or fresh-frozen plasma are necessary for loss of large
amounts of blood (e.g. greater than 20% of blood volume), but can be
avoided in smaller and slower losses. Hypovolemia due to burns,
diarrhea, vomiting, etc. is treated with infusions of electrolyte solutions
that balance the nature of the fluid lost. Sodium is essential to keep the
fluid infused in the extracellular and intravascular space whilst
preventing water intoxication and brain swelling. Metabolic acidosis
(mainly due to lactic acid) accumulates as a result of poor delivery of
oxygen to the tissues, and mirrors the severity of the shock. It is best
treated by rapidly restoring intravascular volume and perfusion as
above. Inotropic and vasoconstrictive drugs should be avoided, as they
may interfere in knowing blood volume has returned to normal
190
TREATMENT
 In hypovolemic shock, caused by bleeding, it is
necessary to immediately control the bleeding and
restore the casualty's blood volume by giving infusions
of isotonic crystalloid solutions.
 Blood transfusions, packed red blood cells (RBCs),
Albumin (or other colloid solutions), or fresh-frozen

(e.g. greater than 20% of blood volume).
 Hypovolemia due to burns, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. is
treated with infusions of electrolyte solutions that
balance the nature of the fluid lost.
191
TREATMENT
 Opinion varies on the type of fluid used in shock. The most common
are:
 Crystalloids - Such as sodium chloride (0.9%), or Lactated Ringer's.
Dextrose solutions which contain free water are less effective at re-
establishing circulating volume, and promote hyperglycaemia.
 Colloids - For example, polysaccharide (Dextran), polygeline
(Haemaccel), succunylated gelatin (Gelofusine) and hetastarch
(Hepsan). Colloids are, in general, much more expensive than
crystalloid solutions and have not conclusively been shown to be of any
benefit in the initial treatment of shock.
 Combination - Some clinicians argue that individually, colloids and
crystalloids can further exacerbate the problem and suggest the
combination of crystalloid and colloid solutions.
 Blood - Essential in severe hemorrhagic shock, often pre-warmed and
rapidly infused.
192
TREATMENT-HAEMORRHAGIC
SHOCK
 It is to be noted that NO plain water should be given to
the patient at any point, as the patient's low electrolyte
levels would easily cause water intoxication, leading to
premature death.
 An isotonic or solution high in electrolytes should be
administered if intravenous delivery of recommended
fluids is unavailable.
193
TREATMENT-HAEMORRHAGIC
SHOCK
 Vasoconstrictor agents have no role in the initial
treatment of hemorrhagic shock, due to their relative
inefficacy in the setting of acidosis.
 Definitive care and control of the hemorrhage is
absolutely necessary, and should not be delayed.
194
TREATMENT-CARDIOGENIC
SHOCK
 In cardiogenic shock, depending on the type of
myocardal infarction, one can infuse fluids or in shock
refractory to infusing fluids, inotropic agents.
 Inotropic agents, which enhance the heart's pumping
capabilities, are used to improve the contractility and
correct the hypotension.
 Should that not suffice, an intra-aortic balloon pump
can be considered (which reduces the workload for the
heart and improves perfusion of the coronary arteries)
or a left ventricular assist device (which augments the
pump-function of the heart.)
195
TREATMENT CARDIOGENIC
SHOCK
 The main goals of the treatment of cardiogenic shock
are the re-establishment of circulation to the
myocardium, minimising heart muscle damage and
improving the heart's effectiveness as a pump.
 This is most often performed by percutaneous
coronary intervention and insertion of a stent in the
culprit coronary lesion or sometimes by cardiac
bypass.
196
TREATMENT
 The main way to avoid the deadly consequence of
death is to make the blood pressure rise again with:
 fluid replacement with intravenous infusions
 use of vasopressing drugs (e.g. to induce
vasoconstriction);
 use of anti-shock trousers that compress the legs and
concentrate the blood in the vital organs (lungs, heart,
brain).
 use of blankets to keep the patient warm - metallic
PET film emergency blankets are used to reflect the
patient's body heat back to the patient
197
TREATMENT
 In distributive shock caused by sepsis the infection is treated
with antibiotics
 Supportive care is given (i.e. inotropica, mechanical ventilation,
renal function replacement).
 Anaphylaxis is treated with adrenaline to stimulate cardiac
performance and corticosteroids to reduce the inflammatory
response.
 In neurogenic shock because of vasodilation in the legs, one of
the most suggested treatments is placing the patient in the
Trendelenburg position, thereby elevating the legs and shunting
blood back from the periphery to the body's core. However, since
bloodvessels are highly compliant, and expand as result of the
increased volume locally, this technique does not work. More
suitable would be the use of vasopressors.
198
TREATMENT
 In obstructive shock, the only therapy consists of
removing the obstruction.
 Pneumothorax or haemothorax is treated by inserting
a chest tube.
 Pulmonary embolism requires thrombolysis (to reduce
the size of the clot), or embolectomy (removal of the
thrombus).
 Tamponade is treated by draining fluid from the
pericardial space through pericardiocentesis.
199
TREATMENT
 In endocrine shock the hormone disturbances are
corrected.
 Hypothyroidism requires supplementation by means
of levothyroxine.
 In hyperthyroidism the production of hormone by the
thyroid is inhibited through thyreostatica, i.e.
methimazole (Tapazole) or PTU (propylthiouracil).
 Adrenal insufficiency is treated by supplementing
corticosteroids
200
TREATMENT
201
202
PROGNOSIS
 The prognosis of shock depends on the underlying
cause and the nature and extent of concurrent
problems. Hypovolemic, anaphylactic and neurogenic
shock are readily treatable and respond well to
medical therapy. Septic shock however, is a grave
condition and with a mortality rate between 30% and
50%. The prognosis of cardiogenic shock is even worse.

SHOCK_2.ppt

  • 1. 1
  • 2. “A momentary pause in the act of death.” DR AMR ELHENY
  • 3. Inadequate perfusion (blood flow) leading to inadequate oxygen delivery to tissues Shock: a life-threatening disorder of the circulatory system that results in inadequate organ perfusion and tissue hypoxia, which, in turn, causes metabolic disturbances and, ultimately, irreversible organ damage 3
  • 4. 4 Flow = Perfusion Adequate Flow = Adequate Perfusion Inadequate Flow = Indequate Perfusion (Hypoperfusion) Hypoperfusion = Shock
  • 5. What is needed to maintain perfusion?  Pump  Pipes  Fluid 5 Heart Blood Vessels Blood
  • 6. How can perfusion fail?  Pump Failure  Pipe Failure  Loss of Volume 6
  • 7.
  • 8.
  • 9.  General diagnostics  Assess heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation (pulse oximetry)  Measure central venous pressure via central venous catheter  Catheterize the bladder to assess urine output.  Renal function tests: ↑ BUN and creatinine indicate acute renal failure  Arterial blood gas analysis: lactic acidosis (commonly elevated in septic shock)  Clotting parameters: ↓ AT-III, ↓ fibrinogen, and thrombocytopenia, with ↑ fibrin degradation products (FDP) (e.g., D-dimer) indicate a consumption coagulopathy  Liver function tests: hyperbilirubinemia, ↑ AST/ALT indicate acute liver failure  Electrolytes (especially sodium, potassium, and calcium)  See specific diagnostics in respective sections below
  • 10. General treatment  Monitor blood pressure and heart rate  Establish airway, breathing, and circulation (apply high-flow oxygen if necessary)  See specific treatment in respective sections below
  • 11. Stages of Shock Initial stage - tissues are under perfused, decreased CO, increased anaerobic metabolism, lactic acid is building Compensatory stage - Reversible. SNS activated by low CO, attempting to compensate for the decrease tissue perfusion. Progressive stage - Failing compensatory mechanisms: profound vasoconstriction from the SNS ISCHEMIA Lactic acid production is high metabolic acidosis Irreversible or refractory stage - Cellular necrosis and Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome may occur DEATH IS IMMINENT!!!!
  • 12. Hypovolemic shock  Etiology  Hemorrhage  Blunt/penetrating trauma (e.g., pelvic ring/femur fractures)  Upper GI bleeding (e.g., variceal bleeding)  Postpartum hemorrhage  Ruptured aneurysm or hematoma  Arteriovenous fistula  Nonhemorrhagic fluid loss Nonhemorrhagic fluid loss usually results in dehydration as a result of free water loss. Severe dehydration can result in intravascular volume depletion and hypovolemic shock.  GI loss: diarrhea, vomiting  Increased insensible fluid loss (e.g., burns, Stevens-Johnson syndrome)  Third space fluid loss (e.g., bowel obstruction)  Renal fluid loss (e.g., adrenal insufficiency, drug-induced diuresis)
  • 13.  Pathophysiology: loss of intravascular fluid volume → ↓ CO and PCWP → compensatory ↑ SVR  Clinical features  Weak pulse, tachycardia, tachypnea  Hypotension  Physical examination might show:  Cold, clammy extremities, slow capillary refill  Decreased skin turgor, dry mucous membranes  Nondistended jugular veins  Findings related to the underlying disease: e.g., bleeding, melena, hematemesis, diarrhea
  • 15. Diagnostics: mostly clinical  Imaging to identify the underlying cause such as:  X-ray: pelvic ring fractures, hematothorax  FAST scan: intra-abdominal hemorrhage  ↓ Hemoglobin and hematocrit (can be normal initially Both hemoglobin and hematocrit levels may remain unchanged in the early phase of a hemorrhagic shock. The levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit begin to fall only with the onset of the compensatory shift of extravascular fluid into the intravascular compartment.)  Pulmonary artery catheterization  ↓ PCWP (< 15 mmHg)  ↓ CO  ↑ SVR
  • 16. Treatment  Fluid resuscitation  In the case of hemorrhage  Hemostasis  Possibly blood transfusion in a 3:1 (fluid-to-blood) ratio  Complications: acute renal failure
  • 17. Cardiogenic shock  Etiology  Myocardial infarction (MI) is the most common cause.  Arrhythmias  Heart failure  Cardiomyopathy  Myocarditis  Ventricular septal defect, ventricular rupture  Severe aortic or mitral regurgitation  Certain drugs (e.g., beta blockers, calcium channel blockers)  Blunt cardiac trauma  Pathophysiology: underlying event causes dysfunction of the heart → heart failure → ↓ CO and blood pressure → ↑ catecholamines → vasoconstriction and ↑ myocardial oxygen demand → ↑ renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system → further ↑ vasoconstriction and retention of sodium and water → shunting of blood to brain and vital organs → insufficient perfusion of peripheral organs
  • 18. Clinical features  Weak pulse, tachycardia  Hypotension  Dyspnea  Mental status change  Other clinical features related to the underlying disease:  Chest pain in MI  Palpitations, syncope in arrhythmias  Physical examination might show:  Cold, clammy extremities, poor capillary refill  Abnormal auscultatory findings (e.g., S3, S4)  Pulmonary edema, diffuse lung crackles (fine basal crepitations)  Elevated JVP and distended neck veins
  • 19. Diagnostics: mostly clinical  Identifying the cause  ECG: myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmias  Cardiac markers (e.g., ↑ troponin I, troponin T): to identify acute coronary syndrome  Echocardiography: valvular lesions  Pulmonary artery catheterization: to monitor hemodynamic parameters as a guide to therapy  ↑ PCWP (> 15 mmHg), can also be ↓  ↓ CO  ↑ SVR
  • 20. Treatment: based on the underlying cause  Cardiopulmonary resuscitation if necessary  Inotropic therapy: to maintain perfusion  Dopamine in patients with low blood pressure  Dobutamine in patients with normal blood pressure  Vasopressors: norepinephrine  Intra-aortic balloon pump if medical therapy fails  Diuresis  Treat the underlying cause (e.g., revascularization in MI): See respective treatment sections in the articles listed in “Etiology” above.  See “Initial treatment of hemodynamically unstable patients with acute heart failure.”  Complications  Pulmonary edema  Acute renal failure
  • 21. Obstructive shock  Etiology  Impairment of diastolic filling of the right ventricle  Cardiac tamponade  Constrictive pericarditis  Restrictive cardiomyopathy  Obstruction of venous return  Tension pneumothorax  Intrathoracic tumor  ↑ Ventricular afterload  Massive pulmonary embolism (PE)  Aortic dissection  Aortic stenosis  Large systemic emboli  Severe pulmonary hypertension
  • 22.  Pathophysiology: obstruction of the heart or its great vessels → inability of the heart to circulate blood → ↓ CO → compensatory ↑ SVR  Clinical features: similar to hypovolemic shock  Weak pulse, tachycardia  Hypotension  Other clinical features related to the underlying disease: chest pain in PE  Physical examination might show:  Cold, clammy extremities  Poor capillary refill  Elevated JVP and distended neck veins
  • 23. Diagnostics: mostly clinical  Identifying the cause  Echocardiography: cardiac tamponade  CT pulmonary angiography: pulmonary embolism  Chest x-ray: pneumothorax  Pulmonary artery catheterization: to monitor hemodynamic parameters as a guide to therapy  ↓ PCWP, except for cardiac tamponade  ↑ PCWP in cardiac tamponade  Elevation and equalization of pressures in all the cardiac chambers differentiates cardiac tamponade from other causes of cardiogenic shock.  Normal or ↓ CO  ↑ SVR
  • 24.  Treatment: based on the underlying cause  Cardiac tamponade: pericardiocentesis  Pulmonary embolus: thrombolysis  Tension pneumothorax: needle decompression followed by chest tube insertion  Complications: acute renal failure
  • 25. Distributive shock  Pathophysiology: redistribution of body fluid due to vasodilation with/without capillary leakage → redistribution of fluid from the intravascular to the extravascular compartment  Types of distributive shock  Septic shock (most common)  Neurogenic shock  Anaphylactic shock
  • 26.  Etiology  Infection (especially gram-negative bacteria) and bacteremia  See “Etiology” in “Sepsis.”  Pathophysiology: dysregulated host response to infection → capillary leakage, systemic vasodilation → acute and life- threatening organ dysfunction  Clinical features  Fever is typical, but patients may be normothermic or hypothermic  Tachycardia  Hypotension with a wide pulse pressure  Other clinical features related to the underlying disease: cough in pneumonia, neck stiffness in meningitis  Physical examination might show:  Initially flushed, warm skin (later: cold, pale skin)  Normal capillary refill initially  Prolonged capillary refill when shock progresses
  • 27. Diagnostics: mostly clinical  Leukocytosis or leukocytopenia  ↑ ESR and acute phase reactants (e.g., CRP, procalcitonin)  ↑ Lactate  Positive blood cultures  Pulmonary artery catheterization  ↓ PCWP (< 15 mmHg)  ↑ CO  ↓ SVR
  • 28. Treatment  Fluid resuscitation (required until CVP > 8)  Vasopressors: in patients refractory to fluids  First-line: norepinephrine  Second-line: epinephrine  Treat the underlying cause  Early initiation of broad- spectrum empirical antibiotic therapy (blood cultures should be taken before initiating antibiotic therapy)  Surgical therapy may be required in some cases (e.g., peritonitis, necrotizing fasciitis)  Complications: acute renal failure
  • 29. Anaphylactic shock  Etiology  Drug reactions (e.g., sulfa drugs)  Insect stings or bites (e.g., bee stings)  Food allergies (e.g., peanuts)  Contrast medium allergy  Pathophysiology: immunologic anaphylaxis (type I hypersensitivity reaction; IgE-mediated) or nonimmunologic anaphylaxis (not IgE- mediated) → degranulation of mast cells → massive histamine release → systemic vasodilation and increased capillary leakage  Clinical features: rapid onset of symptoms (minutes to hours)  Tachycardia, tachypnea  Hypotension  Flushed, itchy skin (often hives)  Bronchospasm, laryngeal edema → wheeze, stridor, dyspnea, cyanosis  Swelling of conjunctiva, lips, tongue and/or uvula  Angioedema  Vomiting, diarrhea
  • 30. Diagnostics: mostly clinical  Pulmonary artery catheterization  ↓ PCWP (< 15 mmHg)  ↑ CO  ↓ SVR  Treatment  See “Treatment of anaphylaxis.”  Fluid resuscitation  Epinephrine (1:1000 IM)  Adjunctive therapy to epinephrine  H1/H2 antihistamines  Glucocorticoids (e.g., hydrocortisone)  Complications  Airway obstruction  Cardiovascular collapse
  • 31. Neurogenic shock  Etiology  Spinal cord injury  Traumatic brain injury  Cerebral hemorrhage  Neuraxial anesthesia  Pathophysiology: damage of autonomic pathways → loss of sympathetic vascular tone → unopposed vagal tone → periph eral vasodilation → pooling of peripheral blood  Clinical features  Bradycardia  Hypotension  Flushed, warm skin  Other clinical features related to the underlying disease: neurological deficits (e.g., flaccid paralysis in spinal trauma)
  • 32. Treatment  Fluid resuscitation  Atropine or pacing to treat bradycardia  Vasopressors: if fluid resuscitation fails to increase MAP beyond 90 mmHg  Normal heart rate: phenylephrine  If heart rate < 60/min: epinephrine
  • 33. 34
  • 34. Cardiogenic Shock  Pump failure  Heart’s output depends on  How often it beats (heart rate)  How hard it beats (contractility)  Rate or contractility problems cause pump failure 35
  • 35. Cardiogenic Shock  Causes  Acute myocardial infarction  Very low heart rates (bradycardias)  Very high heart rates (tachycardias) 36 Why would a high heart rate caused decreased output? Hint: Think about when the heart fills.
  • 36. Neurogenic Shock  Loss of peripheral resistance  Spinal cord injured  Vessels below injury dilate 37 What happens to the pressure in a closed system if you increase its size?
  • 37. Hypovolemic Shock  Loss of volume  Causes  Blood loss: trauma  Plasma loss: burns  Water loss: Vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, increased urine, increased respiratory loss 38 If a system that is supposed to be closed leaks, what happens to the pressure in it?
  • 38. Psychogenic Shock  Simple fainting (syncope)  Caused by stress, pain, fright  Heart rate slows, vessels dilate  Brain becomes hypoperfused  Loss of consciousness occurs 39 What two problems combine to produce hypoperfusion in psychogenic shock?
  • 39. Septic Shock  Results from body’s response to bacteria in bloodstream  Vessels dilate, become “leaky” 40 What two problems combine to produce hypoperfusion in septic shock?
  • 40. Anaphylactic Shock  Results from severe allergic reaction  Body responds to allergen by releasing histamine  Histamine causes vessels to dilate and become “leaky” 41 What two problems combine to produce hypoperfusion in anaphylaxis?
  • 41. OBSTRUCTIVE SHOCK  Flow of blood is obstructed.  Cardiac tamponade  Constrictive pericarditis  Tension pneumothorax.  Massive pulmonary embolism  Aortic stenosis. 42
  • 42. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF SHOCK SYNDROME Cells switch from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism lactic acid production Cell function ceases & swells membrane becomes more permeable electrolytes & fluids seep in & out of cell Na+/K+ pump impaired mitochondria damage cell death
  • 43. COMPENSATORY MECHANISMS: Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS)-Adrenal Response  Stimulated by baroreceptors Increased heart rate Increased contractility Vasoconstriction (SVR-Afterload) Increased Preload
  • 44. COMPENSATORY MECHANISMS: Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS)-Adrenal Response SNS - Hormonal: Renin-angiotension system Decrease renal perfusion Releases renin angiotension I angiotension II potent vasoconstriction & releases aldosterone adrenal cortex sodium & water retention
  • 45. COMPENSATORY MECHANISMS: Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS)-Adrenal Response SNS - Hormonal: Antidiuretic Hormone Osmoreceptors in hypothalamus stimulated ADH released by Posterior pituitary gland Vasopressor effect to increase BP Acts on renal tubules to retain water
  • 46. COMPENSATORY MECHANISMS: Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS)-Adrenal Response SNS - Hormonal: Adrenal Cortex Anterior pituitary releases adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) Stimulates adrenal Cx to release glucorticoids Blood sugar increases to meet increased metabolic needs
  • 47. Net results of cellular shock: systemic lactic acidosis decreased myocardial contractility decreased vascular tone decrease blood pressure, preload, and cardiac output
  • 48. Case 1  24 year old male  Previously healthy  Lives in a malaria endemic area (PNG)  Brought in by friends after a fight - he was kicked in the abdomen  He is agitated, and won’t lie flat on the stretcher  HR 92, BP 126/72, SaO2 95%, RR 26
  • 49. Stages of Shock Timeline and progression will depend -Cause -Patient Characteristics -Intervention Insult Preshock (Compensation) Shock (Compensation Overwhelmed) End organ Damage Death

  • 162. OBSTRUCTIVE SHOCK  In this situation the flow of blood is obstructed which impedes circulation and can result in circulatory arrest. Several conditions result in this form of shock.  Cardiac tamponade in which fluid in the pericardium prevents inflow of blood into the heart (venous return). Constrictive pericarditis, in which the pericardium shrinks and hardens, is similar in presentation.  Tension pneumothorax. Through increased intrathoracic pressure, bloodflow to the heart is prevented (venous return).  Massive pulmonary embolism is the result of a thromboembolic incident in the bloodvessels of the lungs and hinders the return of blood to the heart.  Aortic stenosis hinders circulation by obstructing the ventricular outflow tract 172
  • 163. ENDOCRINE SHOCK  Hypothyroidism, in critically ill patients, reduces cardiac output and can lead to hypotension and respiratory insufficiency.  Thyrotoxicosis may induce a reversible cardiomyopathy.  Acute adrenal insufficiency is frequently the result of discontinuing corticosteroid treatment without tapering the dosage. However, surgery and intercurrent disease in patients on corticosteroid therapy without adjusting the dosage to accommodate for increased requirements may also result in this condition.  Relative adrenal insufficiency in critically ill patients where present hormone levels are insufficient to meet the higher demands . 173

  • 171. Severity of shock  Compensated shock  body’s cardiovascular and endocrine compensatory responses reduce flow to non-essential organs to preserve preload and flow to the lungs and brain.  Apart from a tachycardia and cool peripheries (vasoconstriction, circulating catecholamines) there may be no other clinical signs of hypovolaemia. 181
  • 172.  Decompensation  Further loss of circulating volume overloads the body’s compensatory mechanisms and there is progressive renal, respiratory and cardiovascular decompensation.  In general, loss of around 15% of the circulating blood volume is within normal compensatory mechanisms.  Blood pressure is usually well maintained and only falls after 30–40% of the circulating volume has been lost. 182
  • 173.  Mild shock  Initially there is tachycardia, tachypnoea and a mild reduction in urine output and mild anxiety.  Blood pressure is maintained although there is a decrease in pulse pressure.  The peripheries are cool and sweaty with prolonged capillary refill times (except in septic distributive shock). 183
  • 174.  Moderate shock  As shock progresses, renal compensatory mechanisms fail, renal perfusion falls and urine output dips below 0.5 ml kg–1h–1.  There is further tachycardia and now the blood pressure starts to fall.  Patients become drowsy and mildly confused. 184
  • 175.  Severe shock  In severe shock there is profound tachycardia and hypotension.  Urine output falls to zero and patients are unconscious with laboured respiration 185

  • 179. TREATMENT  Immediate intervention, even before a diagnosis is made.  Re-establishing perfusion to the organs is the primary goal.  Restoring and maintaining the blood circulating volume ensuring oxygenation and blood pressure are adequate, achieving and maintaining effective cardiac function, and preventing complications. )  Intubation and mechanical ventilation may be necessary. 189
  • 180.  In hypovolemic shock, caused by bleeding, it is necessary to immediately control the bleeding and restore the casualty's blood volume by giving infusions of isotonic crystalloid solutions. Blood transfusions, packed red blood cells (RBCs), Albumin (or other colloid solutions), or fresh-frozen plasma are necessary for loss of large amounts of blood (e.g. greater than 20% of blood volume), but can be avoided in smaller and slower losses. Hypovolemia due to burns, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. is treated with infusions of electrolyte solutions that balance the nature of the fluid lost. Sodium is essential to keep the fluid infused in the extracellular and intravascular space whilst preventing water intoxication and brain swelling. Metabolic acidosis (mainly due to lactic acid) accumulates as a result of poor delivery of oxygen to the tissues, and mirrors the severity of the shock. It is best treated by rapidly restoring intravascular volume and perfusion as above. Inotropic and vasoconstrictive drugs should be avoided, as they may interfere in knowing blood volume has returned to normal 190
  • 181. TREATMENT  In hypovolemic shock, caused by bleeding, it is necessary to immediately control the bleeding and restore the casualty's blood volume by giving infusions of isotonic crystalloid solutions.  Blood transfusions, packed red blood cells (RBCs), Albumin (or other colloid solutions), or fresh-frozen plasma are necessary for loss of large amounts of blood (e.g. greater than 20% of blood volume).  Hypovolemia due to burns, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. is treated with infusions of electrolyte solutions that balance the nature of the fluid lost. 191
  • 182. TREATMENT  Opinion varies on the type of fluid used in shock. The most common are:  Crystalloids - Such as sodium chloride (0.9%), or Lactated Ringer's. Dextrose solutions which contain free water are less effective at re- establishing circulating volume, and promote hyperglycaemia.  Colloids - For example, polysaccharide (Dextran), polygeline (Haemaccel), succunylated gelatin (Gelofusine) and hetastarch (Hepsan). Colloids are, in general, much more expensive than crystalloid solutions and have not conclusively been shown to be of any benefit in the initial treatment of shock.  Combination - Some clinicians argue that individually, colloids and crystalloids can further exacerbate the problem and suggest the combination of crystalloid and colloid solutions.  Blood - Essential in severe hemorrhagic shock, often pre-warmed and rapidly infused. 192
  • 183. TREATMENT-HAEMORRHAGIC SHOCK  It is to be noted that NO plain water should be given to the patient at any point, as the patient's low electrolyte levels would easily cause water intoxication, leading to premature death.  An isotonic or solution high in electrolytes should be administered if intravenous delivery of recommended fluids is unavailable. 193
  • 184. TREATMENT-HAEMORRHAGIC SHOCK  Vasoconstrictor agents have no role in the initial treatment of hemorrhagic shock, due to their relative inefficacy in the setting of acidosis.  Definitive care and control of the hemorrhage is absolutely necessary, and should not be delayed. 194
  • 185. TREATMENT-CARDIOGENIC SHOCK  In cardiogenic shock, depending on the type of myocardal infarction, one can infuse fluids or in shock refractory to infusing fluids, inotropic agents.  Inotropic agents, which enhance the heart's pumping capabilities, are used to improve the contractility and correct the hypotension.  Should that not suffice, an intra-aortic balloon pump can be considered (which reduces the workload for the heart and improves perfusion of the coronary arteries) or a left ventricular assist device (which augments the pump-function of the heart.) 195
  • 186. TREATMENT CARDIOGENIC SHOCK  The main goals of the treatment of cardiogenic shock are the re-establishment of circulation to the myocardium, minimising heart muscle damage and improving the heart's effectiveness as a pump.  This is most often performed by percutaneous coronary intervention and insertion of a stent in the culprit coronary lesion or sometimes by cardiac bypass. 196
  • 187. TREATMENT  The main way to avoid the deadly consequence of death is to make the blood pressure rise again with:  fluid replacement with intravenous infusions  use of vasopressing drugs (e.g. to induce vasoconstriction);  use of anti-shock trousers that compress the legs and concentrate the blood in the vital organs (lungs, heart, brain).  use of blankets to keep the patient warm - metallic PET film emergency blankets are used to reflect the patient's body heat back to the patient 197
  • 188. TREATMENT  In distributive shock caused by sepsis the infection is treated with antibiotics  Supportive care is given (i.e. inotropica, mechanical ventilation, renal function replacement).  Anaphylaxis is treated with adrenaline to stimulate cardiac performance and corticosteroids to reduce the inflammatory response.  In neurogenic shock because of vasodilation in the legs, one of the most suggested treatments is placing the patient in the Trendelenburg position, thereby elevating the legs and shunting blood back from the periphery to the body's core. However, since bloodvessels are highly compliant, and expand as result of the increased volume locally, this technique does not work. More suitable would be the use of vasopressors. 198

TREATMENT  In obstructive shock, the only therapy consists of removing the obstruction.  Pneumothorax or haemothorax is treated by inserting a chest tube.  Pulmonary embolism requires thrombolysis (to reduce the size of the clot), or embolectomy (removal of the thrombus).  Tamponade is treated by draining fluid from the pericardial space through pericardiocentesis. 199
  • 190. TREATMENT  In endocrine shock the hormone disturbances are corrected.  Hypothyroidism requires supplementation by means of levothyroxine.  In hyperthyroidism the production of hormone by the thyroid is inhibited through thyreostatica, i.e. methimazole (Tapazole) or PTU (propylthiouracil).  Adrenal insufficiency is treated by supplementing corticosteroids 200

  • 193. PROGNOSIS  The prognosis of shock depends on the underlying cause and the nature and extent of concurrent problems. Hypovolemic, anaphylactic and neurogenic shock are readily treatable and respond well to medical therapy. Septic shock however, is a grave condition and with a mortality rate between 30% and 50%. The prognosis of cardiogenic shock is even worse. 203

  • 195. Identification of External Bleeding  Arterial Bleed  Bright red  Spurting  Venous Bleed  Dark red  Steady flow  Capillary Bleed  Dark red  Oozing 205 What is the physiology that explains the differences?
  • 196. Control of External Bleeding  Direct Pressure  gloved hand  dressing/bandage  Elevation  Arterial pressure points 206
  • 197. Arterial Pressure Points  Upper extremity: Brachial  Lower extremity: Femoral 207
  • 198. Control of External Bleeding  Splinting  Air splint  Pneumatic antishock garment (MAST) 208
  • 199. Control of External Bleeding  Tourniquets  Final resort when all else fails  Used for amputations - sometimes  3-4” wide  Write “TK” and time of application on forehead of patient  Notify other personnel 209
  • 200. Control of External Bleeding  Tourniquets  Do not loosen or remove until definitive care is available  Do not cover with sheets, blankets, etc. 210
  • 202. Epistaxis  Causes  Fractured skull  Facial injuries  Sinusitis, other URIs  High BP  Clotting disorders  Digital insertion (nose picking) 212
  • 203. Epistaxis  Management  Sit up, lean forward  Pinch nostrils together  Keep in sitting position  Keep quiet  Apply ice over nose 213
  • 204. Internal Bleeding  Can occur due to:  Trauma  Clotting disorders  Rupture of blood vessels  Fractures (injury to nearby vessels) 214
  • 205. Internal Bleeding 215 Can result in rapid progression to hypovolemic shock and death
  • 206. Internal Bleeding  Assessment  Mechanism?  Signs and symptoms of hypovolemia without obvious external bleeding 216
  • 207. Internal Bleeding Signs and Symptoms  Pain, tenderness, swelling, discoloration at injury site  Bleeding from any body orifice 217
  • 208. Internal Bleeding Signs and Symptoms  Vomiting bright red blood or coffee ground material  Dark, tarry stools (melena)  Tender, rigid, or distended abdomen 218
  • 209. Management  Secure, maintain airway (ABC’s)  High concentration oxygen  Assist ventilations  Control obvious bleeding (consider TraumaDex®)  Stabilize fractures  Replace Fluids  Prevent loss of body heat  Transport rapidly to appropriate facility 219
