What is Shock?
• SAMUEL V GROSS, 1872 said - “Shock is the manifestation of the rude
unhinging of the machinery of life”
• Shock is a state of acute circulatory insufficiency that creates an
imbalance between tissue oxygen supply (delivery) and oxygen
demand (consumption) resulting in end-organ dysfunction
• A clinical syndrome that results from inadequate tissue perfusion
• Failure of circulation centrally or peripherally to meet the metabolic
demands of the tissues
• A group of life-threatening circulatory syndromes with varying
physiological profiles.
CLASSIFICATION
• Hypovolemic Shock or Haemorrhagic Shock
• Cardiogenic Shock
• Obstructive Shock or Cardiac Compressive Shock
• Vasogenic or Distributive Shock
1. Septic Shock
2. Anaphylactic Shock
3. Neurogenic Shock
HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK
A decrease in circulating volume in relation to the total vascular
capacity and characterized by a reduction of diastolic filling pressures
resulting in poor tissue perfusion. Commonest cause being trauma
resulting in external or concealed haemorrhage from blunt or
penetrating injuries.
ETIOLOGY
Hemorrhagic shock - severe blood loss leads to inadequate
oxygen delivery at the cellular level.
• Traumatic
1.Blunt or penetrating injury
2.Fractures- long bones, pelvic fractures
• Non- Traumatic
1. GI bleeds
2. Aortic dissection
3. Rupture of large vessel aneurysm
4. Erosion of a large vessel
5. Diffuse inflammation of mucosal surfaces
• Due to loss of water and electrolytes, with fall in effective
circulating volume.
 Traumatic
i. Burns
ii. Crush injuries
 Non-traumatic
i. Fluid loss from vomiting or diarrhoea (eg- cholera)
ii. Fluid loss in diabetes mellitus, adrenal insufficiency, excessive
sweating, diabetes insipidus
iii. Fluid sequestration (eg- intestinal obstruction, pancreatitis)
ETIOLOGY
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
• Ventricular preload - DBP and volume
• Decreased SV and CO, hence SBP
• CO leads to SVR to maintain perfusion to heart and
brain at the expense of other tissues ( muscle, skin, gut)
• Autoregulation occurs at heart and brain- maintenance
of blood flow over wide range of perfusion pressure (60-
150mm of Hg).

hypoxemia
• Neurohumoral Compensatory Mechanisms-
1. Catecholamines
2. Cortisol
3. ADH secretion
4. RAS activation
• Shift of fluid from extravascular compartment to vascular
compartment
1.PHASE 1- <1 hr of blood loss, shift from interstitium to
capillaries (may continue upto 40hrs)
2.PHASE 2- RAS activation- Na+ and water retention to
replenish interstitial fluid
3.PHASE 3- Erythropoesis.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
DETERMINANTS
• Arterial oxygen content
CaO2 = (1.39 x Hb x SaO2) + (PaO2 x 0.0031)
• Oxygen delivery= Cardiac Output x Arterial O2 content
DO2= CO x [(1.39 x Hb x SaO2) + (PaO2 x 0.0031)]
• Oxygen consumption= Cardiac Output x (Arterial O2 content- Venous O2 content)
Vo2= CO x (CaO2- CvO2)
= CO x Hb x 1.39 ( SaO2- SmvO2)
• MICROVASCULATURE
• Impairment of microcirculation- central
pathophysiology of shock
• Imbalance between vasoconstrictors (Angiotensin II,
endothelin-1, thromboxane A2) and vasodilators (PGI2,
NO, adenosine)
• CELLULAR RESPONSE
Increased
anaerobic
metabolism
lactate, H+
ion
accumulation
Acidosis
Decrease in interstitial transportation of nutrients
Mitochondrial dysfunction- decreased oxidative
phosphorylation
Decrease in ATP store
ORGAN RESPONSE
• Endocrine
1. Increased gluconeogenesis and lipolysis.
2. In critically ill, cortisol levels and ACTH stimulation is
decreased, hence survival rates are low.
3. Pancreas- increased secretion of glucagon- increased
gluconeogenesis increasing blood glucose levels.
• Renal Response
1. Decreased urine output
2. Hypoperfusion – AKI
3. Acute tubular necrosis
Severe pain/stress ACTH stimulation Cortisol secretion
Reduced
RBF Reduces
GFR
Reduced
U/O
Aldosterone
Vasopressin
ORGAN RESPONSE
• Cardiovascular response
1. Hypovolemia preload SV
2. HR CO(limited)
3. Venoconstriction
4. Shock induced decreased myocardial filling causes
decrease in LV end-diastolic volume and fall in SV
5. Hypothermia, myocardial ischemia and acedemia
impairs myocardial contractility and SV.
6. Shock Index, SI= HR/SBP (normal= 0.5-0.7)
• Pulmonary Response
ORGAN RESPONSE
SHOCK
Increased PVR
PVR> SVR it may lead to RV failure
Tachypnoea (reduced TV, high RR)
Respiratory Alkalosis
HAEMORRHAGIC SHOCK
• Definition of Massive Haemorrhage
1. Loss of more than one volume of blood in 24hrs
2. 50% total blood volume lost in 3hrs
3. Bleeding in excess of 150mL/min
Lethal Triad
How does a patient present?
• Clinical Features:
1. Pallor
2. Slight anxiety/ restlessness
3. Cold, clammy skin
4. Tachycardia
5. Collapsed neck veins
6. Oliguria (<0.5ml/kg/hr) or anuria
“Any patient who is cool and tachycardic is in shock until
proven otherwise”(ATLS)

Baskett’s Classification of Haemorrhagic Shock
• Vitals (PR, BP, RR, temp)
• Urine output, capillary refill time, JVP, ABG (arterial blood gas or
Ph)
• Hematocrit
• Classic hemodynamic pattern- low CVP, low PCWP (pulmonal
capillary pressure), low CO and high SVR.
• Oxygen extraction
• ETCO2
SaO2 SvO2 O2 extraction
(SaO2-SvO2)
Normal >95% 65-70% ~30%
Hypovolemic >95% 50-65% 30-50%
Shock >95% <50% >50%
Monitoring a case of hypovolemic shock
• Bedside USG- assess right-sided filling pressures, IVC diameter and
caval index
• The Rapid Ultrasound in Shock (RUSH) exam involves a threepart
bedside physiologic assessment simplified as
1. the pump (cardiac),
2. the tank (volume status)
3. and the pipes (arterial and venous)
MANAGEMENT
• Fluid Resuscitation- Restoring volume is the keystone
VO2= COx Hb x 1.39 x (SaO2- SvO2)
• Fluid challenge- 500 or 1000mL NS rapidly infused over 20min and
reassess the patient after each bolus
• Cannulation Site
• Catheter Dimensions and relation to flow rate
Infusion Device Length (inches) Flow rate (mL/min)
Peripheral

16G catheter 2 150
Central
16G catheter 5.5 91

• Relation to fluid viscosity and flow rate
• Estimating volume requirement
Male 65ml/kg ; Female 60ml/kg
Volume is replaced by calculating the volume deficit
crystalloids in 3:1 ratio and colloids and blood at 1:1 ratio

Editor's Notes

  • #6 GI bleeds (eg- peptic ulcer, gastric mucosal erosions, oesophageal varices,typhoid bleeds, DIC) Erosion of a large vessel (eg- pancreatitis, tumour invasion) Diffuse inflammation of mucosal surfaces (eg- ulcerative colitis)
  • #8 Shock may occur without hypotension (increased SVR in presence of decreased CO) and hypotension may occur without shock. Autoregulation occurs at heart and brain- However MAP<60mm of Hg will deteriorate function at these tissues too. Autoregulation- anrep effect- increased myocardial contractility to increase in afterload Bowditch- increase in myocardial tension with increase in HR (treppe phenomenon)
  • #9  Loss of intravascular volume initiates compensatory mechanisms to maintain perfusion of the vital organs (mainly heart and brain) Effectiveness of these mechanisms depend on rate of fluid loss and degree volume depletion already present Volume depletion stimulates baroreceptors within the intrathoracic vessels and carotids, baroreceptors in the kidneys resulting in release of Catecholamines Cortisol ADH secretion RAS activation The blood volume constitutes 13-15% of total body fluid and an acute loss of 35-40% can be fatal. Shift occurs from interstitial compartment to vascular compartment occurs in three phases: PHASE 1- <1 hr of blood loss, shift from interstitium to capillaries (may continue upto 40hrs) PHASE 2- RAS activation- Na+ and water retention to replenish interstitial fluid PHASE 3- Erythropoesis- stimulation takes few hours, 15-50ml cell volume produced daily, complete replenishment- upto 2-3months. Compensatory responses (mainly in the form or tachycardia and vasoconstriction) may be blunted in elderly patients, diabetics, alcoholics, patients with chronic renal or liver cell dysfunction. Tachycardia may less marked or even absent in such patients and hypotension may occur early with blood loss.
  • #10 Cao2- oxygen carried by HB and dissolved plasma in oxygen DO2- amount of O2 delivered to tissue per min. 1000mL of o2/min VO2- amount of O2 consumed by tissue each min is equal to difference in oxygen delivered to tissues and oxygen returning f Oxygen from tissuesto heart. Normal value 250mL of O2/min Oxygen flux refers to amount of O2 leaving the LV per min in the arterial blood
  • #11 Functions- transportation of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients and exchange across cell membranes. Impairement of microcirculation- central pathophysiology of shock, leads to deranged cellular metabolism and organ failure. In shock, local perfusion acting on the vascular bed results from balance between the vasoconstrictors and vasodilators As shock progresses, vasodilators take over vasomotor tone causing hypotension and hypoperfusion Metabolic Derangements Disruption in carbohydrate, protein, lipid metabolism Increased anaerobic metabolism- increased lactate production Minimal net energy production, inadequate tissue perfusion leads to acidosis Final stage- dysfunction of cell membrane ( decrease in transmembrane potential), facilitates sodium and water accumulation causing cell swelling. Loss of calcium homeostasis in cell leads to apoptosis.
  • #12 Prompt resuscitation reduces risk of AKI Splanchnic organs---due to vasoconstriction there can be Ileus, GI bleeding, pancreatitis, acalculous cholecystitis, and mesenteric ischemia can occur due to low flow states. Enteric bacteria and antigens translocate from the gut lumen into the systemic circulation during gut ischemia causing irreversible shock Centrilobular injury with mild increases of transaminases and lactate dehydrogenases
  • #13 Restoring intravascular volume promptly increases stroke volume and cardiac output , in turn improves tissue perfusion. Venoconstriction- increased ventricular filling SI> persistently >1= impaired LV function as a result of blood loss or cardiac depression, high mortality rate
  • #14 Increased pulmonary vascular resistance due to Inflammatory damage from Resuscitation induced ROS Causes acute lung injury and ARDS Decrease compliance, increased interstitial edema causes increased work of breathing and respiratory muscle fatigue Infusion of cold fluids exacerbates the heat lost from hemorrhage, depleted energy stores, and environmental exposure and leads to decreased function of the enzymes in the clotting cascade.
  • #17 Sites that can harbor sufficient extra-vascular volume: Intrathoracic (2-3L/ pleural cavity) Intraabdominal (2-5L) Retroperitoneal # long bones (1L or more)
  • #18 Relative bradycardia (paradoxical bradycardia):- pulse<90/min with SBP <90mmhg,occurs in 45% of all hypotensive trauma
  • #19 An initial preshock/ compensated , during which reflex compensatory mechanisms are activated and vital organ perfusion is maintained • A decompensated stage, characterized by tissue hypoperfusion and onset of worsening circulatory and metabolic derangement, including acidosis • An irreversible stage, in which cellular and tissue injury is so severe that even if the hemodynamic defects are corrected, survival is not possibleAcute loss of 10% of circulating volume results in tachycardia and increased SVR with maintenance of BP.
  • #21 HCT- helpful if insidiousbleed, or if recognition of blood loss is delayed or if fluid resuscitation has been prompt, low HCT Oxygen extraction- As a response to decreased CO, there is an increased O2 extraction from the blood. This can continue only to a point, after which oxygen debt occurs and there is a switch of aerobic to anaerobic metabolism ETCO2- decrease in CO results in decrease in PCO2 of expired gas. Normally ETCO2 differs from arterial PCO2 by 3-4mm of Hg. It may drop to below 10mmof Hg in severe shock and shows a progressive rise with successful resuscitation. IVC diameter 1.5-2.5cm. Trauma<1cm, <1.5cm volume depletion, >2.5cm overload Caval index- (IVC exp-IVC insp) diameter/IVC exp*100, volume deletion <50%, >50% fluid responsivesness Invasive monitoring in Hypovolemia complicating other forms of shock Cause of the shock is not clear Hypovolemia in patients with poor cardiac function When inotropic support is needed inspite of volume replacement.

  • #23 The Rapid Ultrasound in Shock exam involves a threepart bedside physiologic assessment simplified as the pump (cardiac), the tank (volume status), and the pipes (arterial and venous) ABCDE airway, controlling the work of breathing, optimizing the circulation, assuring adequate oxygen delivery, and achieving end points of resuscitation.
  • #24 Ultimate objective is to restore and maintain oxygen uptake in vital organs and preserve organ function. VO2 is compromised by both CO and Hb. First objective is to restore CO , later Hb deficit. Replacement of haemoglobin with blood transfusions Monitoring fluid and blood resuscitation clinically Determining the cause of hypovolemic shock Two large bore (16G) IV lines to be secured in peripheral veins. In case of collapsed peripheral veins, large bore catheter can be placed in the femoral vein or a central line has to be secured. Due to long length and smaller lumen of central lines it may not permit rapid fluid replacement. Venous cutdown can also be done. Rate of infusion is directly proportional to pressure gradient along the catheter and the fourth power of radius of the catheter. It is inversely related to the length of catheter and viscosity of the fluid infused.
  • #25 In obese patients, 10% has to be deducted from the calculated value. Fluids used in volume replacement Increase in cardiac index- Dextran-40 > whole blood > ringer lactate > packed cells. Generally used crystalloids include NS and RL for rapid replacement, however shift to extravascular compartment occurs and 25% are presumed to retain in vascular compartment. Colloids may be equally good or even better but disadvantages include anaphylaxis, more expensive solutions, renal failure and bleeding ( inhibit platelet adhesion and aggregation).
  • #26 Vasopressors are most effective when the vascular space is “full” and least effective when the vascular space is depleted. Patients with chronic hypertension may be at greater risk of renal injury at lower blood pressures; however, in others, there appears to be no mortality benefit in raising MAP above the 65 to 70 mm Hg range.
  • #27 Massive transfusion- >1 blood volume/ 10pcv in 24hrs or >50% blood volume replenished in 4 hrs This may require early Evacuation planning---torniquets -control peripheral bleeding vessels; Tamponade eg.

  • #28 Lab team need to know early – they will need to prep products and process your incoming blood samples. Orderly to run samples and bloods to the lab for processing Early thawing of 2 units FFP if large volumes are expected. Dedicated nurse / team member to run the rapid infusion device Take bloods for URGENT processing: FBP, cross match, coagulation profile (INR, APTT, fibrinogen), ABG (VBG) Request immediately available blood products. Crystalloids – aim to minimise the use of crystalloids – they will make coagulopathy, temperature and possibly acidosis worse Uncrossmatched (O Rh -) packed red cells – 2 units. FFP (ABO specific)– 2 bags. (recommend 1:1 ratio where possible) NOTE: thawing FFP takes ~ 30 minutes – lab has to be alerted. target MAP is 65 – 70 mmHg (prior to definitive intervention) ; target MAP is 90 –100 in patients with traumatic brain injury / raised ICP suspected Monitoring- invasive monitoring (arterial line) if available Send repeat investigations every ~ 30 minutes: FBP, coags, fibrinogen, ABG / lactate, Ca++, Frequent / continuous temperature monitoring
  • #29 Warfarinised / known coagulopathy : give Vit K 10 mg, Dabigatran / thrombin inhibitor Obstetric haemorrhage: early use of cryoprecipitate is recommended. Platelets: only recommended in thrombocytopenia < 50,000. Tranexamic acid: give 1 g loading dose (over 10 mins) as early as possible in traumatic bleeding Target MAP = 65 mmHg Give fluid volume; if Hb < 8g/dL-RBCs; if INR > 1.5 OR APPT > 50 sec- 2U FFP; if fibrinogen < 1.0 g/dL Give 8U of CP Calcium is < 1.1mmol then, 1 amp of Calcium gluconate 1g/10ml Optimise acidosis Consider intubation / ventilation - normocapnea Maintain temperature > 35 degrees IV fluid warmer, airblanket, limit exposure & operation time. In smaller centres the early evacuation must be planned in the absence of a definitive surgical service. Suggest early liason receiving hospital surgeon and clinical Haematologist.
