3. DEFINITION
Haemorrhage is defined as the escape of the blood from the cardiovascular system to
the surface of the body or into the body tissues or the cavities.
The amount of the blood lost due to haemorrhage can range from minimal to significant
quantities.

20. DEFINITION
SHOCK
• A life threatening situation due to poor tissue perfusion with impaired
cellular metabolism, manifested in turn by serious pathophysiological
abnormalities. – (Bailey & Love)
• Shock is a term used to describe the clinical syndrome that develops when
there is critical impairment of tissue perfusion due to some form of acute
circulatory failure. – (Davidson)
21. CAUSES OF SHOCK
• Severe or sudden blood loss
• Large drop in body fluids
• Myocardial infarction
• Major infections
• High spinal injuries
• Anaphylaxis
• Extreme heat or cold
23. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Any cause of shock
Low cardiac output
Vasoconstriction
Tachycardia
Dynamic circulation increases
Tachypnoea
Constriction of peripheral veins
Decreased renal blood flow
Activation of renin angiotensin mechanism
Salt & water retention
ADH release
Further concentration of urine occurs
24. When shock persists, cardiac output falls further
Hypotension & tachycardia occurs leading to poor perfusion of
coronaries
Hypoxia- metabolic acidosis
Release of cardiac depressants
Cardiac (pump) failure
28. GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF SHOCK
MANAGEMENT
PCWP – pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (Swan Ganz catheter)
CVP
Initial assessment – ABCDE
Airway
Breathing
Circulation
Deficit/ Disability
Exposure
Fluids & electrolytes in shock
IV fluid therapy; Crystalloids; Colloids
29. TREATMENT OF SHOCK
1) Hypovolaemic shock-
replacement of fluids & electrolytes
2) Cardiogenic shock –
fluids restricted
ionotropic drugs
3) Septicemic shock –
pus, if any is drained first
culture & sensitivity test to acertain the causative bacteria
antibiotics
4) Neurogenic shock –
Trendlenberg position
30. DENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
1) Through diagnosis & treatment plan
allergies
systemic review of patient
2) LA used during treatment
3) Pain & Anxiety
4) Shock or Syncope due to larger duration of treatment
5) Anxiety by vision & perception of bigger & larger instruments
31. MANAGEMENT OF SHOCK IN DENTAL OFFICE
Management of delayed onset, allergic skin
Terminate dental procedure
Position of patient
BLS as indicated
Definitive management
(a) observe
(b) administer oral histamines > medical consultation
(c) administer I.M + Oral antihistamines every 4-6 hrs
32. • No signs & symptoms of allergy
• Terminate dental procedure
• Position of patient with legs elevated
• BLS
• Medical assistance
• Administer oxygen
• Vital signs
• Definitive management
33. • Management of generalised anaphylaxis
• Terminate dental procedure
• Supine position of patient with legs elevated
• BLS
• Medical assistance
• Administer epinephrine
• Administer oxygen
• Monitor vital signs
• Additional drugs, antihistamines, corticosteroids

Editor's Notes
ARTERIAL- bright red, pulsating, spurting, inc. flow
VENOUS- dark red, non pulsating, steady flow, dsnt spurt
CAPILLARY- intermediate red, even flo/ oozing type,
1 haem – occurs at time of surgery, due to injury to blood vessel, fracture of any bone
2 haemorrhage- occurs within 7-14 days after surgery, causes are infection ( necrosis of bv) , commonly seen in pt with retained root tips or foreign materials in extn socket; dangerous n difficult to control
Reactionary haemorrhage- occurs within 24 hrs of injury due to seepage of suture or ligature leading to clot dislodgement
Exteranal h- revealed; bleeding onto exterior through orifice
Internal h.- concealed h ; occurs in injury to abdominal viscera; rupture of spleen is most common; other eg- fracture of any long bones n bleeding frm malignancy
TACHYCARDIA- ----- vessels by vasoconstriction to maintain perfusion of vital organs like brain, heart, lungs n kidney
ANAEROBIC- ---- function causing influx of more sodium n calcium inside d cell n potassium comes out of cell
LYSIS OF ---releasing powerful enzymes lethal to cell
ACTIVATION----- leading to formation of small clots n further bleeding
PROGRESS--- leading to total circulatory failure
ABNO IN CLOTTING FACTRS- 1) clotting factr deficiency- hereditary, liver diseases, anticoagulant therapy
2) dysfnctn of clotting
ABNRM IN PLATELETS- deficiencies, excess , dysfunction
Systemic diseases like – scleroderma, cirrhosis, retinal haemorrhage
INDIRECT M- any blood clot size of fist is around 500 ml in closed fracture; swelling in lower leg indicates blood losss of 1L ; swelling in thigh- 1.5L blood loss
RISA- it cn b done only in specialised centres where radioactive isotopes r available; it can be tagged with RBCs n dilution can b measured on isotope counter; it helps in measuring total amount of blood loss
CVP- measured by passing a canula of length 20-25 cm through int. jugular vein into superior vena cava; this canula is attached to pressure manometer which is measured at lvl of sternal angle( norm. at sternal angle it is 0) if cvp is low, it means venous reservoir has low pressure n intra venous infusion is required; if cvp is high, iv infusion is contraindictory as it may cause pulmonary oedema– in cardiogenic shock
Haemorrhage following oral surgical procedures can occur due to local or systemic causes.
In healthy pt, the post operative bleeding is mainly due to local causes---
ST BLEED- arterial, venous , capillary in nature. Arteries in ST at risk during os procedures r those that lies in post portion of hard palate, GP artery n Buccal artery ( lies lateral to retromolar pad)
OSSEOUS – troublesome bone bleeding originates either frm- nutrient canals in alveolar region; centrl vessels lyk inf. Alveolar artery; central vascular lesions ( haemangiomas or vascular malformation)
Systemic- some pt with hereditary conditions lyk hemophilia, vW disease
pt with thrombocytopenia (dec platelet count) leukemia etc
pt with uncontrolled hypertension
pt with history of prosthetic heart valve replacement, stroke, taking oral anticoagulants like aspirin or warfarin to prevent occurrence of a thromboembolic episode
Crystalloids- for every 1 ml of shed blood, 3ml of crystalloid is used. It is the 1st line of fluid in haemorrhagic shock; ringers lactate – hypertonic saline r examples
Colloids- gelatins, albumin n various hydroxy ethyl starches are examples… these r more effective than crystalloids for expanding plasma vol bcz they cntain large, poorly diffusible solute molecules that create an osmotic pressure to keep water in vascular space with less extravasation of fluid into lungs
Blood– resuscitation with whole blood , component therapy n plasma in that order contribute to haemostasis in varying degrees while increasing the intra vascular volume
fresh warm whole blood is more efficient than component therapy or stored whole blood in correcting coagulopathy as it has fresher RBC n better functioning n conc of platelets n plasma blood transfusion is d transfer of blood n its products frm 1 person to other person. Depending on d type of donor it can be autologous ( pre op , intra op, post op ) and frm blood bank. Depending on blood components used…. Blood products
RBC transfusion is most commonly used n its indications r anaemia, trauma, any major surgeries
indication for platelet n clotting factor transfusion is bleeding disorder
Indication for plasma cell transfusion is liver isease n burns
Vasoconstriction- controlled by local n systemic factors. Local involves thromboxane a2 , serotonin, fibrinopeptide b . Systemic includes- epinephrine from adrenal glands which stimulates general vasoconstriction
In primary haemostasis, there is platelet plug formation. Firstlt there is platelet adhesion in which damage to blood vessel exposes collagen fibers which causes platelets to adhere to endothelial cells leading to release of integrins n vWF resulting in formation of 1 cell thick layer
Then platelets r activated n releases adenosine diphosphate n thromboxane which causes more platelets to aggregate.
Vasoconstriction--- occurs as a compensation to perfuse vital organs like brain, heart, kidney , liver, muscles
Tachypnoea- to increase oxygen saturation
Constriction--- veins that will diverge blood frm splanchnic system towards essential vital organs
Dec re---- flow– reduces gfr n thus reduce urine output
RAAS- further vasoconstriction n aldosterone releases
CVP DECRESES AS VOLUME DECREASES IN HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK, WHIKE IN CARDIOGENIC SHOCK IT REMAINS NORMAL
