2. DEFINITION OF SHOCK
• It is a pathological state characterized by
inadequate tissue perfusion to meet
metabolic demand and tissue oxygenation.
3. Perfusion
Stroke volume Systemic vascular resistance
Preload
(ventricular filling)
Myocardial
contractility
Resiatance of
vascular tree –
after load
Venous return Atrial compliance
Blood volume Vascular tone
Impendence to
left ventricular
ejection
Tone of peripheral
vasculature
5. • Depending upon pathophysiology shock divided
into 4 types.
HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK: due to inadequate blood
volume or oxygen carrying capacity.
DISTRIBUTIVE SHOCK: Due to inappropriate
distribution of blood volume or flow.
CARDIOGENIC SHOCK: due to impaired cardiac
contractility.
OBSTRUCTIVE SHOCK: due obstructed blood flow.
6. TYPES OF SHOCK BY SEVERITY
COMPENSATED SHOCK:
If systolic blood pressure within normal limits
but there are signs of inadequate tissue
perfusion , child is in compensated shock.
7. • Tachycardia (HR)
• Selective increase in SVR to non vital
organs(skin, intestine, kidney, skeletal
muscles) and shunting of blood to vital organs
(brain, heart )
• Increase in strength of cardiac contractility
with more complete emptying of ventricles.
• Increase in smooth muscle venous tone
improving venous return to heart (preload).
Compensatory mechanisms
9. HYPOTENSIVE SHOCK:
when physiological mechanism to maintain
systolic blood pressure are not effective
hypotension develops.
A key clinical sign of deterioration change in
level of consciousness as brain perfusion
decline.
10. 5th centile of blood pressure according
to age:
• <Term neonate : <60mm of Hg
• 1month -1yr : <70 mm of Hg
• 1yr-10yr : 70+2(age in years)
• >10 yr : <90 mm of Hg.
11. • Hypotension developes early in septic shock
because mediators of septic shock produce
vasodilatation and reduce SVR.
• So initially patient having warm extremities
brisk capillary refill, full peripheral pulses
despite hypotension.
14. HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK:
• Most common type of shock in children.
• Etiology:
Diarrhoea (most common cause)
Vomiting
Internal and external haemorrhage
Inadequate fluid intake
Third space loss(dengue)
Burns
Osmotic Diuresis (DKA)
15. • Hypovolemic shock result from deficiency of
both intravascular and extravascular volume
• It is characterized by decrease preload leading
to reduce stroke volume and reduce cardiac
output.
• Tachypnoea , a respiratory component to
maintain acid base balance is often present
with hypovolemic shock.
16. Findings of Hypotensive Shock
Primary
Assessment
Findings
A Typically patent, unless altered consciousness
B Quiet tachypnea
C • Tachycardia
• Adequate Systolic Blood Pressure, Narrow pulse pressure,
or systolic hypotension with a narrow pulse pressure
• Weak or absent peripheral pulse
• Normal or weak central pulse
• Delayed capillary refill
• Cool, pale, mottled, diaphoretic skin
• Pale distal extremities
• Changes in level of consciousness
• oliguria
D Decrease level of consciousness as shock progresses
E Extremities often cooler than trunk
17. DISTRIBUTIVE SHOCK
• Septic shock
• Anaphylactic shock
• Neurogenic shock
• ↓/↑ SVR; vasodilatation and
venodilatation pooling of
blood
• Increased capillary
permeability 3rd space loss
reduction of preload
• Depressed myocardial
contractility
• Pulmonary vasoconstriction,
veno arteriolar dilatation,
and increased Cap. Per.
Loss of sympathetic tone vasodilatation and lack of compensatory
tachycardia and peripheral vasoconstriction
18. • Early in distributive shock, due to
vasodilatation reduce SVR increased blood
flow to skin warm extremities and
bounding pulses. And there is early
hypotension with wide pulse pressure
• As shock progresses myocardial dysfunction
and hypovolemia reduce cardiac output
reduce SVR inadequate blood flow to skin
produces cool extremities and weak pulses.
19. Findings of Distributive Shock
Primary
Assessment
Findings
A Typically patent, unless altered consciousness
B Quiet tachypnea unless pneumonia or ARDS, Cardiogenic Pulmonary
edema
C • Tachycardia or less commonly bradycardia
• WARM SHOCK:
bounding peripheral pulses
brisk capillary refill
warm flushed periphery
hypotension with wide pulse pressure
• COLD SHOCK:
cool, pale, mottled skin
Delayed capillary refill
hypotension with narrow pulse pressure
• oliguria
D Decrease level of consciousness as shock progresses
E Fever / hypothermia ; Patechial or purpuric rash
20. SEPTIC SHOCK
Interaction with infecting organisms
Activates the immune system, neutrophil, monocyte,
macrophages
Infectious organism or their byproducts
21. Cytokines also activate coagulation cascade may result in DIC,
Can impair myocardial contractility and cause myocardial
dysfunction.
Vasodilatation and damage to lining of blood vessel causing
increase capillary permiability
Release or activation of inflammatory mediators(cytokines)
22. ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK
• Its an acute multysystem allergic response to a
drug, toxin, plant, venom, or other antigens.
• It occurs within seconds or minutes after
exposure to an offending agent
• Characterized by venodilatation,arterial
vasodilatation, increase capillary permiability
pulmonary vasoconstriction.
23. Signs of anaphylactic shock
Anxiety and agitation
Nausea and vomiting
Urticaria
Angioedema
Respiratory distress with stridor or wheezing
Hypotension
tachycardia
24. NEUROGENIC SHOCK/SPINAL SHOCK
• Caused by cervical or upper thoracic(above T6)
spine injury disrupts sympathetic innervation
of blood vessels and heart. so compensatory
mechanism doesn’t occur like hypovolemic shock
• SIGNS:
Hypotension with wide pulse pressure
Normal HR or bradycardia
Increased respiratory rate with diaphragmatic
breathing
motor and sensory deficits.
26. • Marked Tachycardia and left ventricular afterload.
• Decrease stroke volume due to decrease myocardial
contractility and increase afterload
• Increase end diastolic volume in both right and left ventricles
resulting in pulmonary and systemic venous
congestion. pulmonary edema and res. distress
• Diminished renal blood flow resulting in fluid
retention.
• Intravascular volume is normal or increased unless
associated with vomiting or fever.
Characteristics:
27. Signs of cardiogenic shock
• Tachypnea with increase respiratory effort
(retractions, nasal flaring, grunting) due to
pulmonary edema.
• Tachycardia
• Normal or low BP with narrow pulse pressure.
• Weak or absent peripheral pulses
• Delayed CRT
• Cool, pale, mottled skin
28. • Signs of congestive cardiac failure:
– pulmonary edema
– hepatomegaly
– raised JVP
• Cyanosis: due to cyanotic congenital heart
disease or pulmonary edema.
• Change in level of consciousness
• Oliguria.
30. Cardiac temponade
• Causes are:
penetrating trauma
cardiac surgery
inflammatory disorder
infection of pericardium
tumour
31. • Accumulation of fluid blood or air in pericardial space
• Increase intrapericardial pressure and compression of heart
• Impedes systemic and pulmonary venous return
• Reduces ventricular filling and stroke volume and cardiac
output
• If untreated results in cardiac arrest and PEA
32. • Major signs are:
muffled or diminished heart sound
distended neck veins
pulsus paradoxus
33. TENSION PNEUMOTHORAX
• Caused by entry of air in pleural space and
accumulation under pressure.
• This air enters from lung injured by tear or by
penetrating chest trauma.
• As this pressure increases compression on
underlying lung and pushes mediastinum to
opposite side of chest respiratory failure
• High intrathoracic pressure and direct pressure
on mediastinal structure impedes venous return,
decline in cardiac output.
34. • Major signs are:
Tracheal deviation toward opposite side
Hyperresonance and hyperinflation on affected side
Diminished breath sound on affected side.
Distended neck vein
Pulsus peradoxus
Rapid deterioration in perfusion tachycardia to
bradycardia and hypotension
• Suspect tension pneumothorax in a victim of
chest trauma or any intubated patients who
deteriorates rapidly while receiving positive
pressure ventilation.
35. DUCTAL DEPENDENT LEISON
• Cyanotic CHD: ductal dependent pulmonary
blood flow present with cyanosis than signs of
shock
• ductal dependent systemic blood flow (Left
ventricular outflow obstruction )
– coarctation of aorta
– interrupted aortic arch,
– hypoplastic left heart,
– critical AS
• present with signs of shock.
36. • higher preductal vs postductal BP
• higher preductal vs postductal arterial O2
saturation (3-4%)
• AIM : Restoring and maintaining patency of
ductus arteriosus

• Ventilatory support (noninvasive positive
pressure ventilation, mechanical ventilation)
• if
increased work of breathing
ineffective respiration
impaired mental status
45. Fluid resuscitation
• Aim : restore intravascular volume and tissue
perfusion
• Rapid fluid resuscitation in case of
hypovolemic distributive and septic shock
• Cardiogenic, obstructive shock, severe
poisoning or fluid loss in DKA need gradual
correction
46. FLUID RESUSCITATION:
• Give isotonic crystalloid bolus of 20 ml/kg over
5-20 min, repeat if needed ( septic shock may
require up to 60 ml/kg during 1st hour)
1
• Assess physiological response to therapy after each bolus
2
• Determine need of bolus
3
• Assess sign of detrimental effect
47. Type of shock Volume of fluid App. Rate of delivery

poisoning)
5-10ml/kg bolus
Repeat PRN
Over 10-20 minutes
Poisoning ( eg. CCB or Beta
blocker )
5-10ml/kg bolus
Repeat PRN
Over 10-20 minutes
DKA with compensated shock 10-20 ml/kg Over 1 hour
48. CRYSTALLIOD VS COLLOID
ISOTONIC CRYSTALLOID
• Distributed throughout
extra vascular space
• Amount needed 1 and1/2
times more than collolid for
equal effect
• Easily available
• Don’t cause sensitivity
reaction.
• E.g RL,NS
COLLOID
• Contain large molecules so
remain intravascular
• Only 20-40 ml/kg can be
given
• Less easily available
• Blood derived causes
sensitivity and synthetic
colloid causes coagulopathy.
• E.g 5% albumin,dextran, FFP
49. Indication of blood transfusion
For replacement of traumatic blood loss if perfusion is inadequate
despite 2-3 bolus of 20ml/kg
• 10ml/kg Packed RBC
