2. LECTURE OBJECTIVE
At the end of this lecture the student will be able to know
Definition of shock
Types of shock
Causes of shock
3. Shock
state characterized by systemic hypotension
Occur due to diminished cardiac output or due to reduced
effective circulating blood volume.
Results in impaired tissue perfusion and cellular hypoxia.
Prolong shock can cause irreversible injury and can be fatal.
4. Definition
Shock is a state in which diminished cardiac output or
reduced effective circulating blood volume impaired tissue
perfusion and leads to cellular hypoxia.
Inadequate perfusion and oxygenation of cells leads to:
Cellular dysfunction and damage
Organ dysfunction and damage
5. Pathophysiology: of shock
Tissue perfusion is determined by Mean Arterial
Pressure (MAP)
MAP = CO x SVR*o2 content in the blood
Heart rate Stroke Volume
6. Types of shock
Most common type of shock are
Cardiogenic shock
Septic shock
Hypovolemic shock
Other types of shock are
Neurogenic shock , anaphylactic shock and psychogenic
shock
7. Cardiogenic shock
Cardiogenic Shock
Myocardial Infarction with damage to heart muscle; heart
unable to pump effectively. Inadequate cardiac output. Body
cells do not receive enough oxygen.
8. Intrinsic causes of cardiogenic shock
Myocardial Injury or Obstruction to Flow
Arrhythmias
MI
Cardiomyopathies
Rupture of the heart ,ventricle or papillary muscles.
12. HYPOVOLUMIC SHOCK
Severe bleeding or loss of body fluid from trauma, burns,
surgery, or dehydration from severe nausea and vomiting.
Blood pressure decreases, thus blood flow is reduced to cells,
tissue, and organs
OR
Reduced circulating blood volume with secondary decreased
cardiac output
16. Normal
MAP = CO x SVR
Hypovolemic
MAP = ↓CO x SVR
MAP = ↓CO x ↑ SVR
↓MAP = ↓↓CO x ↑ SVR
17. When the blood flow decrease the resistance of the blood vessel
increase to response the body constrict the blood vessel
cause vasoconstriction due to sympathatic tone of vessel.
Due to increase the resistance of vessel the blood flow squeeze
towards the heart, mostly happened in the venous drainage.
Sympathetic tone also act on the heart to increased the heart
rate.
18. Shock associated with systemic
inflammation
Release of inflammatory mediators causes
Arterial vasodilation
Vascular leakage
Venous pooling of blood
All the these causes tissue hypo perfusion , cellular hypoxia ,
metabolic derangement and ultimately organ dysfunction or
organ failure and death.
19. Septic shock
An acute infection, usually systemic, that overwhelms the body
(toxic shock syndrome). Poisonous substances accumulate in
bloodstream and blood pressure decreases, impairing blood
flow to cells, tissues, and organs.
20. Shock with severe sepsis characterize by hypotension.
Septic shock can not be corrected by infusion fluid.
Causes of septic shock:
Immune reaction against the infection result in systemic
vasodilation , decrease vascular resistance and cause
peripheral pooling of blood which cause tissue hypo
perfusion
21. Agents :
Most common cause are gram positive bacteria
e.g. staphylococcus aurous , enterococci, strep pneumonia
Gram negative bacteria
Fungi
Protozoa
22.
23. Morphological changes:
DIC cause
Micro thrombi in this condition thrombosis occur in brain , heart
and lungs.
25. Anaphylactic Shock
Results from reaction to substance to which patient is
hypersensitive or allergic (allergen extracts, bee sting,
medication, food). Outpouring of histamine results in dilation
of blood vessels throughout the body.
27. Normal
MAP = CO x SVR
Anaphylactic
MAP = co x ↓ SVR
MAP = ↑cox ↓ SVR
↓MAP = ↑cox ↓↓ SVR
28. Neurogenic Shock
Injury or trauma to the nervous system (spinal cord,
brain). Nerve impulse to blood vessels impaired,
blood vessels remain dilated and blood pressure
decreases.
30. 6.Psychogenic Shock
Shock caused by overwhelming emotional factors. Sudden
dilation of blood vessels results in fainting because of lack of
blood supply to the brain.
31. 7.Respiratory Shock
Trauma to the respiratory tract (trachea, lungs) that causes a
reduction of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. Body cells
cannot receive enough oxygen.
32. Signs
decrease in blood pressure
rapid, weak, or absent pulse
irregular heart rate
confusion
rapid and shallow breathing
anxiety
decrease in urine
34. Causes
Anything that affects the flow of blood through the body can
cause shock. Some common causes of shock are:
significant blood loss
dehydration
allergic reaction
reduced blood pressure
heart failure
nerve damage
blood infections
35. Treatment for Shock
Hypovolemic shock is usually treated by blood transfusion.
Shock caused by dehydration is treated with IV fluids.
Shock caused by anaphylaxis is treated with epinephrine and
other drugs.
Cardiogenic shock is treated by improving blood flow through
to the heart.
