Definition of Shock
Inadequate perfusion and oxygenation of cells
Hypotension is not a requirement
Why should you care?
High mortality - 20-90%
Early on the effects of O2 deprivation on the cell are
REVERSIBLE
Early intervention reduces mortality
Remember!
Assessment Intervention and Monitoring happens
together in acute scenarios.
Initial Assesment - ABC
Airway:
 Does pt have mental status to protect airway?
 GCS less than “eight” means “intubate”
 Airway is compromised in anaphylaxis
Breathing:
 If pt is conversing with you, A & B are fine
 Place patient on oxygen
Circulation:
 Vitals (HR, BP)
 2 large bore (#16g) IV, start fluids (careful if cardiogenic shock), put
on continuous monitor
ABC “DE”
In a trauma, perform ABCDE, not just ABC
Deficit or Disability
 Assess for obvious neurologic deficit
 Moving all four extremities? Pupils?
 Glascow Coma Scale (M6, V5, E4)
Exposure
 Remove all clothing on trauma patients

 Vasoconstrictive mechanisms to redirect blood from periphery to
vital organs
 Exception is warm skin in early distrib. shock

Compensatory Mechanisms
Additional Compensatory
Mechanisms
Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone Mechanism
 AII components lead to vasoconstriction
 Aldosterone leads to water conservation
ADH leads to water retention and thirst
Inflammatory cascade
Work-up
History to determine etiology
 Bleeding (recent surgery, trauma, GI bleed)
 Allergies or prior anaphylaxis
 Sx consistent with pancreatitis, EtOH history
 Hx of CAD, MI, current chest pain/diaphoresis
Examination
 Mucous membranes, JVD, lung sounds, cardiac exam, abdomen,
rectal (blood), neuro exam, skin (cold & clammy or warm)
Investigations: Labs/Tests directed toward suspected dx’s
GENERIC APPROACH TO
MANAGEMENT OF SHOCK
OPTIMISE OXYGEN CONTENT
OPTIMISE CARDIAC OUTPUT
OPTIMISE BLOOD PRESSURE
OPTIMISE REGIONAL BLOOD FLOW
In Short
 The oxygenated blood carried forward by the
cardiac output has to reach the Vital organs,
 this is only possible if there is a good pressure
gradient
 and the organ vascular resistance is low;
 try to maintain the Blood pressure within the
regional Auto regulation range,
 I prefer to target the kidneys as they are a filter and
require higher mean arterial pressures, essentially
ensures all other organs are also perfused
OPTIMISE OXYGEN CONTENT
Hb
Check if appears pale or anaemic
Check Hb and coagulation status
Sao2
just a pulse oximeter tells you the SpO2
Check SaO2 on ABG
OPTIMISE CARDIAC OUTPUT
CO = Stroke volume (SV) x Heart rate (HR)
STROKE VOLUME depends on
Preload
Contractility
Afterload
Check each component of
Cardiac Output
 Stroke Volume (depends on 3 factors)
 Preload
 Look at response to fluid bolus
 If improves BP could be suggestive of
decreased preload (volume) and a
reasonable contractility.
 If no improvement or worsening BP could be
suggestive of a Contractility problem or excess
preload (volume) situation
 Look at CVP
Check each component of
Cardiac Output
 Contractility
 Check any history suggestive of Ischaemic
disease or CCF
 Check ECHO and ECG results
 A high systolic pressure could be suggestive of
good contractility
Check each component of
Cardiac Output
 Afterload
 Check Echo if suggestive of any obstructive
features
 If peripheries cold could indicate increased
vascular resistance
 If peripheries warm could indicate vasodilation
and decreased vascular resistance
 a low diastolic Blood pressure could indicate low
vascular resistance
 a high diastolic Blood pressure could indicate
increased vascular resistance
Check each component of
Cardiac Output
 HR
 If low, 2 possible interventions
 electric
 pacing
 pharmacological intervention
 if high, 2 possible interventions
 electric
 cardioversion
 Defibrillation
 pharmacological intervention
OPTIMISE BLOOD PRESSURE
Product of Cardiac output and peripheral
resitance.
BP=CO X PR
OPTIMISE REGIONAL BLOOD
FLOW
Improve Blood pressure, which is a product of
 Cardiac Output
 peripheral resistance (squeeze)
Improve, Regional Blood Flow = (p1-p2) / R, i.e.
by increasing Mean Arterial pressure decreasing
venous or the compartment pressure whichever
is higher, and also decreasing the organ vascular
resistance
Auto regulation range
try to match Renal auto regulation range
 Kidneys
 MAP 80-180 mmHg
 Brain
 MAP 65-130 mmHg
 Heart
 MAP 50-150 mmHg
 If hypertensive Autoregulation values could shift to
right, essentially you will need Higher MAP (mean
arterial pressure) to perfuse the vital organs.

Editor's Notes

  • #4 Notes: The inadequate perfusion and oxygenation leads to first cellular dysfunction and then organ dysfunction. -Cellular effects include cell membrane ion pump dysfunction, intracellular edema, leakage of intracellular contents into the extracellular space, and inadequate regulation of intracellular pH. -Systemic effects include alterations in the serum pH, endothelial dysfunction, as well as further stimulation of inflammatory and antiinflammatory cascades that lead to multiorgan dysfunction
  • #5 Notes: Mortality due to shock is high. It is estimated that 35 to 60% of patients die within one month of the onset of septic shock. The mortality rate may be even higher among patients with cardiogenic shock; it is estimated to be 60 to 90%. Mortality due to hypovolemic shock is more variable. Early intervention can prevent the cascade of detrimental effects of O2 deprivation on the cells and organs
  • #10 Notes: All forms of shock go through “stages “ of shock. How quickly the patient goes through the stages depends on the cause of shock, patient characteristics, and how quickly we intervene. For example, a healthy adult can be asymptomatic despite a 10% reduction in total effective blood volume. OR if a healthy patient is bleeding slowly from a bleeding ulcer, he will be able to compensate for the blood loss for a long time. If the blood loss is very rapid (e.g. from splenic rupture in Case 1), the patient may progress to death within minutes going through all stages within minutes to hours Preshock — Preshock is also referred to as warm shock or compensated shock. It is characterized by rapid compensation for diminished tissue perfusion by various homeostatic mechanisms. As an example, compensatory mechanisms during preshock may allow an otherwise healthy adult to be asymptomatic despite a 10 percent reduction in total effective blood volume. Tachycardia, peripheral vasoconstriction, and either a modest increase or decrease in systemic blood pressure may be the only clinical signs of shock. Shock — During shock, the compensatory mechanisms become overwhelmed and signs and symptoms of organ dysfunction appear. These include tachycardia, dyspnea, restlessness, diaphoresis, metabolic acidosis, oliguria, and cool clammy skin. End-organ dysfunction — Progressive end-organ dysfunction leads to irreversible organ damage and patient death. End organ dysfunction - typically correspond to a significant physiologic perturbation Examples include a 20 to 25% reduction in effective blood volume in hypovolemic shock, a fall in the cardiac index to less than 2.5 L/min/M2 in cardiogenic shock, or activation of innumerable mediators of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in distributive shock. During this stage, urine output may decline further (culminating inanuria and acute renal failure), acidemia decreases the cardiac output and alters cellular metabolic processes, and restlessness evolves into agitation, obtundation, and coma.

  • #13 Notes: This is a summary slide
  • #14 Notes: The earlier table was oversimplified. Regardless of the type of SHOCK all components of the equation will compensate for the physiologic change induced by the insult, however some will be more effective than others
  • #23 may be considered as the ventricular wall tension required to eject the stroke volume during systole. Afterload relates to the mechanical resistance to shortening of the cardiac muscle fibers.
