SHOCK
ERIN MOONEY, BVSC DACVECC
7TH MAY, 2014
shock is common, but under-recognised
• early recognition is important to prevent progression
of the shock state
• dramatic impact on survival
SHOCK
• Inadequate cellular energy production
• oxygen or glucose
• Usually due to inadequate oxygen delivery (DO2)
• cardiovascular dysfunction
ENERGY PRODUCTION
glycolysis
tricarboxylic
acid cycle
oxidative
phosphorylation
anaerobic metabolism
yields 2 moles ATP
aerobic metabolism
yields 36 moles ATP
WHAT’S BAD ABOUT
SHOCK?
• Preferential shunting of blood away from splanchnic
circulation, skin and muscle
• GI translocation  sepsis
• Sluggish blood flow through capillary beds
• renal
• cerebral
• myocardial
• Further anaerobic metabolism
• cellular energy deficit  MOF
OXYGEN DELIVERY (DO2)
DO2 = CO x CaO2
HR x SV (Hgb x 1.36 x SaO2) + (0.0031 x PaO2)
EDV - ESV
venous return and diastolic function
systolic function and SVR
blood volume and SVR
TYPES OF SHOCK
• Hypovolaemic
• Maldistributive
• Cardiogenic
• Obstructive
• Metabolic
• Hypoxic
HYPOVOLAEMIC SHOCK
blood volume is too low to maintain DO2
DO2 = CO x CaO2
HR x SV (Hgb x 1.36 x SaO2) + (0.0031 x PaO2)
EDV - ESV
venous return and diastolic function
systolic function and SVR
blood volume and SVR
CAUSES OF
HYPOVOLAEMIC SHOCK
• Haemorrhage
• disruption of vessels
• trauma
• neoplasia
• coagulopathy
• Severe dehydration leading to hypovolaemia
• prolonged v/d
• massive polyuria
• burns
• third spacing
• inadequate access to water
DEHYDRATION ≠ HYPOVOLAEMIA
• Dehydration is a decrease in extracellular fluid volume, i.e-
the interstitial and intravascular spaces
• Because blood volume is spared at the expense of
interstitial volume, “hydration” generally refers the
interstitial fluid volume
• Dehydrated patients may or may not be hypovolaemic
• Hypovolaemic patients may or may not be dehydrated
HYDRATION
• MM moistness
• Skin turgor
• Globe position
VOLUME
• Heart rate
• MM colour, CRT
• Pulse quality
• Temperature

MALDISTRIBUTIVE SHOCK
• Maldistribution is a loss of vascular tone (SVR)
• Leads to sluggish blood flow and DO2, particularly in
capillaries, and decreased venous return, with knock-on
effects for cardiac output
DO2 = CO x CaO2
HR x SV (Hgb x 1.36 x SaO2) + (0.0031 x PaO2)
EDV - ESV
venous return and diastolic function
systolic function and SVR
blood volume and SVR
• Sepsis
• abdominal sepsis
• urosepsis – pyelonephritis/lower urinary tract infection
• pneumonia
• pyometra
• pyothorax
• deep pyoderma
• hepatic/pancreatic abscess
• SIRS
• pancreatitis
• polytrauma
• burns
• major surgery
• Anaphylaxis
• Addisonian Crisis
SEPSIS
The pathogenesis of maldistributive shock in sepsis is multi-
factorial:
• increased production of nitric oxide
• over-activation of K+/ATP channels
• deficiency of vasopressin
• critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency
CARDIOGENIC SHOCK
Shock related to failure of the pump mechanism of the heart
• failure to fill during diastole
• failure to eject adequate stroke volume during systole
CHF adds hypoxia to the mix
DO2 = CO x CaO2
HR x SV (Hgb x 1.36 x SaO2) + (0.0031 x PaO2)
EDV - ESV

systolic function and SVR
blood volume and SVR
CAUSES OF
CARDIOGENIC SHOCK
• Diastolic failure
• HCM
• severe mitral insufficiency
• pericardial effusion
• Systolic failure
• DCM
• sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction
• Tachyarrhythmias
• Bradyarrhythmias
both
OBSTRUCTIVE SHOCK
• Physical obstruction to arterial or venous blood flow
• Examples:
• GDV
• PTE
• heartworm disease
• +/- pericardial effusion
METABOLIC SHOCK
• Deranged intracellular metabolic activity
• DO2 is normal
• Examples:
• hypoglycaemia
• toxicities that cause uncoupling of ox phos:
• cyanide
• arsenic
• 1080
• bromethalin
• mitochondrial dysfunction in sepsis and SIRS
HYPOXIC SHOCK
• Decrease in arterial blood oxygen content
• i.e- not related to blood flow
• Examples:
• severe anaemia (PCV < 10%)
• CO toxicity
• methaemoglobinaemia
• severe pulmonary disease
IDENTIFYING SHOCK
Mixture of history, physical exam and laboratory evidence
Physical exam is your most important tool
IDENTIFYING SHOCK
Perfusion parameters:
• MM colour*
• CRT
• HR
• pulse quality
• temperature (particularly of extremities)
• mentation
• urine output
• blood pressure
* may be injected with maldistribution
LABORATORY
EVIDENCE OF SHOCK
Less fancy:
• metabolic acidosis
• decreased SBE
• decreased HCO3
• +/- acidaemia (depends on compensation)
• hyperlactataemia
• pre-renal azotaemia
• oliguria/anuria
• estimate volume status and CO via echocardiography
LACTATE
• Produced from pyruvate, a waste product of glycolysis
• During anaerobic metabolism, there is increased
production of pyruvate  increased lactate production
• The most common cause of hyperlactataemia is anaerobic
metabolism during shock (“Type A hyperlactataemia”)
• Production also increases with SIRS/sepsis,
administration of steroids and some types of neoplasia
(“Type B hyperlactataemia”)
LABORATORY
EVIDENCE OF SHOCK
Fancy:
• direct CO monitoring via PAC (gold standard)
• mixed venous oxygen via PAC
• combined CVP and direct BP
• central venous oxygen via CVC
CLASSIFYING SHOCK

shock
COMPENSATED SHOCK
• Catecholamine surge to maintain perfusion/DO2 causes
tachycardia and vasoconstriction
• Can be hard to identify; tachycardia in a patient that’s not
boisterous or stressed
• HR 130 - 160
• tall, narrow pulses
• pink/pale pink MM (+/- “injected” in sepsis/SIRS)
• CRT 0.5 – 1.5 sec
• normal body temperature (+/- elevated in sepsis/SIRS)
• extremities may be cool
• quiet mentation
• normal BP
• normal UOP
• normal  mild hyperlactataemia
Hypovolaemia
Sepsis
EARLY DECOMPENSATED
SHOCK
Compensatory mechanisms become overwhelmed and DO2
starts to fall
• HR 160 – 200
• reduced femoral pulse quality, absent metatarsal pulses
• pale pink MM (+/- injected in SIRS/sepsis)
• CRT (1.5 – 2 sec)
• mild hypothermia with cool extremities
• quiet mentation
• mild  moderate hypotension
• decreased UOP
• mild moderate hyperlactataemia
LATE DECOMPENSATED
SHOCK
• During this phase, DO2 is inadequate to maintain organ
function.
• Death is imminent
• HR >200
• ** bradycardia may develop shortly before death.
• weak to absent femoral pulses
• grey/patchy MM
• CRT > 2 sec or undetectable
• hypothermia and cold extremities
• obtundation
• severe hypotension
• decreased  absent urine output
• severe hyperlactataemia
CATS ARE NOT SMALL DOGS
• Cats tend to become bradycardic and hypothermic earlier
in shock, particularly in sepsis
• A sick bradycardic cat is a very sick cat indeed

FLUID THERAPY IN
SHOCK
• Fluid “resusc” is usually performed with isotonic
crystalloids
• Shock dose:
• 90ml/kg in dogs
• 60ml/kg cats
• How do we give it?
• Fast!
respective blood volumes
• Administer ¼ shock dose over 10 – 15 min then re-assess
your patient.
• If your goals of resusc have not been met, keep going
• Goals of resusc:
• HR 80 – 120
• pink MM, CRT 1 – 2 s
• normal pulse quality
• warm extremities, normothermia
• normal mentation
• SBP 100 – 140
• normal UOP
FAST?

OTHER FLUID TYPES
• Hypertonic saline (7%)
• hypertonic crystalloid
• dose: 3 – 5ml/kg once
• Artificial colloids
• use in shock is controversial
• renal failure, coagulopathies
• NEVER bolus hypotonic fluids
• 0.45% saline
• 0.45% saline + 2.5% glucose
• 5% glucose in water
• plasmalyte-56
• normosol-M
I’VE GIVEN SHOCK FLUIDS …
NOW WHAT?
• In cases of uncomplicated hypovolaemia, your work is
done
• In most cases, shock will continue unless you address the
the underlying cause, because only 25% of your
crystalloids will still be in IV space 30 min after infusion
• Must diagnose and address the underlying cause ASAP
• Sepsis
• volume first
• vasopressors if needed, once resusc
• treat the septic focus
• Active haemorrhage
• need to stop the haemorrhage
• large amounts of fluids can exacerbate bleeding
• patients may benefit from a low-volume resusc strategy
until haemostasis can be achieved
• blood products early
• GDV
• hypovolaemia plays a role
• need to also relieve the obstruction
• Concurrent shock and head trauma
• treat the CV system first!
• essential for adequate cerebral DO2
• once perfusion is restored, administer hyperosmolar
agents
OTHER TYPES OF
SHOCK
• Cardiogenic shock
• NO FLUIDS
• pulmonary oedema
• oxygen, furosemide
• nitroprusside
• pleural effusion
• thoracocentesis
• dobutamine/pimobendan for systolic failure
• anti-arrhythmics for tachycardias
• pacemaker for bradycardias
• pericardial effusion
• pericardiocentesis STAT!
• Severe anaemia
• red cells!
• usually pRBC
STEROIDS IN SHOCK
Don’t use them
…except in anaphylaxis and addisonian crisis
IN SUMMARY…
• Shock is common! Particularly after trauma
• Treating shock is relatively straight-forward
• Treating shock is a life-saving move!
