Term
What is SHOCK?
Definition

Inadequate total body oxygen delivery

 

 

 

*the SHOCKer is something totally different

Term

What are the 4 types of shock?

What are their definitions?

Definition

1) hemorrhagic: loss of circulating fluid

2) cardiogenic: failure of heart to pump blood to tissues

3) anemic: decreased oxygen carrying capacity

4) neurogenic: loss of vascular tone

Term
In the early stages of truama, what type of shock is assumed unless proven otherwise?
Definition
HEMORRHAGE
Term
What is the hematologic response to shock?
Definition

There is a activation of extrinsic/intrinsic clotting cascades which include:

 

-rapid consumption of clotting factors (platelets) resulting in a deficit

-release of thromboxane A2 = vasoconstriction and platelet aggregation

Term
What is the cardiovascular response to shock?
Definition

catecholamine release, resulting in:

- increased HR

- increased contractility

- vasoconstriction

- shunting of blood from non-vital to vital organs

- baroreceptor response d/t circulating volume = reduced vagal outflow

Term
What is the renal response to shock?
Definition

low renal blood flow leads to the release of:

renin

aldosterone

cortisol

erythropoietin

catecholamines

Term
What is the neuroendocrine response to shock?
Definition
increased release of ADH = reabsorption of H2O and Na
Term
During hemorrhagic shock, blood supply is low which leads to an increase in cellular demand. What happens when there is decreased supply and increased demand?
Definition
OXYGEN DEFICIT
Term
The degree of oxygen deficit is proportional to what?
Definition

rate of blood lost over time

 

(how quick & period of time blood loss occurs)

Term
Let's say you wanted to put your finger on the pulse ;) What is the estimated systolic if you palpate a carotid?  femoral? radial?
Definition

>60mmHg

 

>70mmHg

 

>90mmHg

Term

Here are some estimates of blood loss in trauma:

 

I didn't want to make up questions...

Definition

Unilateral hemothorax                                3,000ml

hemoperitoneum w/ abd distension           ~3,000ml

pelvic fx                                                  ~2,000ml

femur fx                                                  ~1,000ml

tibia fx                                                       ~500ml

small fx sites                                              ~500ml

Term
What are some considerations w/ IV access during the management of shock?
Definition

1) have minimum 2 lg bore (16g or >), short length

2) DO NOT place in injured extremity, fool!

3)  12g cordis >  triple lumen

4) try to have access above & below injury

5) IJs and subclavians may require movement of C-spine

6) central lines are hard w/ hypovolemia

Term
Anaerobic metabolism leads to acidosis. What are some effects from cellular shock?
Definition

myocardial depression

hypotension

hypercarbia

anticoagulation

arrhythmias

Term
Are vasopressors a key treatment for hemorrhagic shock?
Definition

Hells no!

 

Oxygen and Volume are the key tx

Term
How much blood is lost in Class III shock? Class I? Class IV? Class II?
Definition

Class III = 1500-2000ml

Class I  = up to 750ml

Class IV = >2000ml

Class II = 750-1500ml
