Cardiogenic shock is a condition of diminished cardiac output that severely impairs cardiac perfusion. In this condition in which the heart suddenly can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs.
Shock is the state of not enough blood flow to the tissues of the body as a result of problems with the circulatory system.Initial symptoms may include weakness, fast heart rate, fast breathing, sweating, anxiety, and increased thirst. This may be followed by confusion, unconsciousness, or cardiac arrest as complications worsen.
Shock is divided into four main types based on the underlying cause: low volume, cardiogenic, obstructive, and distributive shock. Low volume shock may be from bleeding, diarrhea, vomiting, or pancreatitis. Cardiogenic shock may be due to a heart attack or cardiac contusion. Obstructive shock may be due to cardiac tamponade or a tension pneumothorax. Distributed shock may be due to sepsis, spinal cord injury, or certain overdoses.
The diagnosis is generally based on a combination of symptoms, physical examination, and laboratory tests. A decreased pulse pressure (systolic blood pressure minus diastolic blood pressure) or a fast heart rate raises concerns. The heart rate divided by systolic blood pressure, known as the shock index (SI), of greater than 0.8 supports the diagnosis more than low blood pressure or a fast heart rate in isolation.
Treatment of shock is based on the likely underlying cause.[2] An open airway and sufficient breathing should be established.[2] Any ongoing bleeding should be stopped, which may require surgery or embolization.[2] Intravenous fluid, such as Ringer's lactate or packed red blood cells, is often given.[2] Efforts to maintain a normal body temperature are also important.[2] Vasopressors may be useful in certain cases.[2] Shock is both common and has a high risk of death.[3] In the United States about 1.2 million people present to the emergency room each year with shock and their risk of death is between 20 and 50%

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
3. DEFINITION
Shock is a state of poor perfusion with impaired cellular metabolism
manifesting with severe pathophysiological abnormalities
Inadequate end-organ perfusion and tissue oxygenation.
Most common and most important cause of death in surgical patients.
Death may occur rapidly due to profound state, or be delayed due to
consequences of ischaemia and reperfusion injury.
4. Clinical Features of Shock
In early stage—tachycardia, sweating, cold periphery, hypotension,
restlessness, air hunger, tachypnoea, oliguria, collapsed veins.
In late stage—cyanosis, anuria, jaundice, drowsiness.
Clinically shock may be:
• Compensated with mild tachycardia, normal blood pressure, urine output,
normal respiration and mild lactic acidosis. Mild shock with mild lactic
acidosis, tachycardia, tachypnoea and anxiousness.
• Moderate shock with significant lactic acidosis, decreased urine, tachycardia,
tachypnoea, drowsiness, and mild hypotension.
• Severe shock with severe lactic acidosis, anuria, tachypnoea with gasping,
severe tachycardia, profound hypotension and unconsciousness.
5. Assessment
Always assess for the above features.
Shock index is ratio of pulse rate to blood pressure; normal shock index is <
1. In shock it reverses.
6. Pathophysiology
At cellular level hypoxia causes change of normal aerobic to anaerobic
metabolism causing lactic acidosis. Intracellular potassium is released into
circulation. Lysosomes from cells get released into blood causing cell lysis.
Hypoxia and acidosis through complements release free oxygen radicals and
cytokines which damage capillary endothelium. Eventually cardiovascular,
respiratory, renal, endocrine and GIT will be affected presenting as systemic
features.
Damaged endothelium loses its integrity and becomes ‘leaky’, which leads to
tissue oedema which exacerbates hypoxia
8. Ischaemia Reperfusion Syndrome/Injury
(IRS) or (IRI)
This is further injury that occurs once normal circulation is restored to the
ischemic tissues.
The acid and potassium load that has built up can lead to direct myocardial
depression, vascular dilatation and further hypotension
The cellular and humoral elements activated by the hypoxia (complement,
neutrophils, microvascular thrombi) are flushed back into the circulation
where they cause further endothelial injury to organs such as the lungs and
the kidneys.
This leads to acute lung injury, acute renal injury, multiple organ failure and
death
9. Classification
All states are characterised by systemic tissue hypoperfusion and different
states might coexist within the patient.
1. Hypovolemic
2. Cardiogenic
3. Obstructive
4. Distributive
5. Endocrine
6. Septic
10. Hypovolemic
Due to reduction in total blood volume.
It may be due to: Haemorrhage –
External from wounds, open fractures –
Internal from injury to spleen, liver,
mesentery or pelvis Severe burns, which
results in loss of plasma Peritonitis,
intestinal obstruction Vomiting and
diarrhoea of any cause
cause may be Haemorrhagic or Non-
haemorrhagic.
Most common
12. Cardiogenic
Cardiogenic shock is due to primary failure of the heart to pump blood to the
tissues.
Causes include myocardial infarction, cardiac dysrhythmias, valvular heart
disease, blunt myocardial injury and cardiomyopathy.
Cardiac insufficiency may also be due to myocardial depression caused by
endogenous factors (e.g. bacterial and humoral agents released in sepsis) or
exogenous factors, such as pharmaceutical agents or drug abuse.
Evidence of venous hypertension with pulmonary or systemic oedema may
coexist with the classical signs of shock.
13. Obstructive
Caused due to a mechanical obstruction of cardiac filling that impedes
preload. Reduced cardiac output ensues.
Common causes of obstructive shock include cardiac tamponade, tension
pneumothorax, massive pulmonary embolus or air embolus.
Cardiac tamponade; Pericardial fluid collects intrapericardial pressure
rises heart cannot fill pumping stops.
Very similar to cardiogenic
14. Septic
Septic shock may be due to gram-positive organisms, gram negative
organisms, fungi, viruses or protozoal origin. x Gram-negative
septicaemia/gram-negative septic shock is called as endotoxic shock. It
occurs due to gram-negative bacterial infections, commonly seen in
strangulated intestines, peritonitis, gastrointestinal fistulas, biliary and
urinary infections, pancreatitis, major surgical wounds, diabetic wounds and
crush injuries.
15. Distributive
Distributive shock is one in which there is vasodilatation, decreased vascular
resistance, hypotension, altered micro-vascular perfusion with arteriovenous
shunting, altered cellular oxygen metabolism.
It is seen in septic shock, spinal trauma, adrenal crisis and anaphylaxis
16. Endocrine
Endocrine shock may present as a combination of hypovolaemic, cardiogenic
or distributive shock.
Causes of endocrine shock include hypo- and hyperthyroidism and adrenal
insufficiency. Hypothyroidism causes a shock state similar to that of
neurogenic shock due to disordered vascular and cardiac responsiveness to
circulating catecholamines. Cardiac output falls due to low inotropy and
bradycardia.
Thyrotoxicosis may cause a high-output cardiac failure. Adrenal insufficiency
leads to shock due to hypovolaemia and a poor response to circulating and
exogenous catecholamines.
Adrenal insufficiency may be due to pre-existing Addison’s disease or be a
relative insufficiency due to a pathological disease state, such as systemic
sepsis.
17. Anaphylactic
Injections—penicillins, anaesthetics, stings, venom, shellfish may be having
antigens which will combine with IgE of mast cells and basophils, releasing
histamine and large amount of SRS-A (Slow releasing substance of
anaphylaxis).
They cause bronchospasm, laryngeal oedema, respiratory distress,
hypotension and shock.
Mortality is 10%. Rashes all over the body are commonly observed
An example of distributive
18. Management
Immediate resuscitation manoeuvres for patients presenting in shock are to
ensure a patent airway and adequate oxygenation and ventilation.
Once ‘airway’ and ‘breathing’ are assessed and controlled, attention is
directed to cardiovascular resuscitation.
Make sure to arrest haemorrhage first before you start running fluids.
19. Fluids…
In all cases of shock, regardless of classification, hypovolemia and inadequate
preload must be addressed before other therapy is instituted.
Administration of inotropic or chronotropic agents to an empty heart will
rapidly and permanently deplete the myocardium of oxygen stores and
dramatically reduce diastolic filling and therefore coronary perfusion.
DO NOT ADMINISTER THEM AS FIRST LINE or else Patients will enter the
unresuscitatable stage.
First-line therapy, therefore, is intravenous access and administration of
intravenous fluids through short wide bore catheters that allow rapid fluid
infusion.
20. When to give what.
You can administer either crystalloids (normal saline, Hartmann’s solution,
Ringer’s lactate) or colloids (albumin or commercially available products).
Although, there is less volume benefit to administration of colloids.
The oxygen carrying capacity of crystalloids and colloids is zero. If blood is
being lost, the ideal replacement fluid is blood, although crystalloid therapy
may be required while awaiting blood products.
Hypotonic solutions (dextrose etc.) are poor volume expanders and should not
be used in the treatment of shock unless the deficit is free water loss (e.g.
diabetes insipidus) or patients are sodium overloaded (e.g. cirrhosis).
21. Dynamic fluid loss
The shock status can be determined dynamically by the cardiovascular
response to the rapid administration of a fluid bolus.
In total, 250–500 mL of fluid is rapidly given (over 5–10 minutes) and the
cardiovascular responses in terms of heartrate, blood pressure and central
venous pressure are observed.
Patients can be divided into ‘responders’, ‘transient responders’ and ‘non-
responders’.
Responders have an improvement in their cardiovascular status that is
sustained. These patients are not actively losing fluid but require filling to a
normal volume status.
22. …
Transient responders have an improvement, but this then reverts to the
previous state over the next 10–20 minutes. These patients have moderate
ongoing fluid losses (either overt haemorrhage or further fluid shifts reducing
intravascular volume).
Non-responders are severely volume depleted and are likely to have major
ongoing loss of intravascular volume, usually through persistent uncontrolled
hemorrhage.
24. SIRS AND MODS
SIRS (Systemic inflammatory response syndrome) is due to vasodilatation,
increased endothelial permeability, thrombosis, leucocyte migration and
activation. ↓
All these lead to altered cytokines level, abnormal NO (nitric oxide) synthesis,
abnormal arachidonic acid metabolism, neutrophil activation, free radical
production, altered complement activation, failure to have a localisation of
inflammation. It is severe type of reversible shock. ↓
Which will lead to established microvascular occlusion, cellular dysfunction,
sick cell syndrome, DIC and PUMP failure. ↓
MODS (Multiorgan dysfunction syndrome) (Irreversible shock)—of lungs,
kidneys, liver, clotting system and brain.
Editor's Notes
Cardiovascular
As preload and afterload decrease, there is a compensatory baroreceptor reflex which results into increased sympathetic activity and release of catecholamines into circulation.
Tachycardia and systemic vasoconstriction result from this.
Endocrine
Vasopressin is released from posterior pituitary in response to low blood volume, and results in vasoconstriction and water reabsorption in the renal collecting ducts.
Cortisol is also released from the adrenal cortex, contributing to the sodium and water resorption and sensitising cells to catecholamines
Respiratory
Metabolic acidosis and increased sympathetic stimulation result in increased respiratory rate and minute ventilation to increase Carbon dioxide excretion.
Renal
Decreased perfusion pressure in the kidney leads to reduced filtration at the glomerulus and a decreased urine output.
RAAS is activated, resulting in further water and sodium absorption.
Cardiogenic shock develops within 24 hours of MI. it occurs when 50% of left ventricular wall is damaged by infarction. It leads to pulmonary oedema and severe hypoxia. Ischaemic necrosis of left ventricular wall causes failure of pump thereby decreasing stroke volume.
