Cards

Term
Shock
Definition
physiologic state characterized by systemic reduction in tissue perfusion, resulting in decreased tissue oxygen delivery
Term
Shock
Definition
a condition, in which circulation fails to meet the metabolic need of the tissue & at the same time fails to remove the metabolic waste products
Term
Shock
Definition
Inadequate tissue perfusion to meet tissue demands
Term
Shock
Definition
Result of inadequate blood flow and/or oxygen delivery
Term
Shock
Definition
Inadequate peripheral perfusion leading to failure of tissue oxygenation
Term
Effects of Shock on Organ
Definition
Heart – ↓ CO / hypotension / myocardial depressants
Lung - ↓gas exchange / tachypnoea / pulmonary edema
Endocrine – ADH → ↑ reabsorption of water
CNS – perfusion ↓ – drowsy
Blood - Coagulation abnormalities – DIC
Renal - ↓ GFR - ↓ urine output
GIT – mucosal ischaemia – bleeding & hepatic - ↑ enzyme levels
Term
Hypovolemic Shock Etiology
Definition
* Blood loss.
- hemorrhage
* Plasma / body water loss.
* Electrolytes imbalance.
- Vomiting.
- Diarrhea.
- Dehydration.
Term
Cardiogenic Shock Etiology
Definition
* Valvular heart disease
* Myocardial infarction
* Cardiac arrhythmias
* Cardiomyopathy
Term
Neurogenic Shock Etiology
Definition
* Paraplegia.
* Quadriplegia.
* Trauma to spinal cord.
* Spinal anesthesia.
Term
Anaphylactic Shock Etiology
Definition
* Injections - Penicillins.
* Anaesthetics
* Stings.
* Shelfish
Term
Septic Shock Etiology
Definition
* Gram +
* Gram -
* Fungi / Virus
* Protozoa
Term
Endocrine Shock Etiology
Definition
* Hypo & Hyperthyroidism.
* Adrenal insufficiency.
Term
Mild Shock
Definition
- Collapse of subcutaneous veins of extremities esp. the feet, which become pale and cool
- Sweat on forehead, hand and feet
- Urine output normal.
- Pulse rate normal.
- Blood pressure normal.
- Patient feels thirsty and cold.
Term
Moderate Shock
Definition
- Mild shock features +
drowsy & confused
- Oliguria
- Pulse rate increased usually less then 100/min.
- Blood pressure normal initially then falls in later stage.
Term
Severe Shock
Definition
- Unconscious.
- Gasping respiration.
- Anuria.
- Rapid pulse.
 Profound hypotension
Term
Stages of Shock
Definition
- Initial
- Non progressive (compensated stage)
- Progressive (decompensated stage)
- Refractory
Term
Initial Stage
Definition
The cells become leaky and switch to anaerobic metabolism
Term
Non progressive/ Compensated Stage
Definition
Attempt to correct the metabolic upset of shock.
Term
Progressive/ Decompensated Stage
Definition
Eventually the compensation will begin to fail.
Term
Refractory
Definition
Organs fail and the shock can no longer be reversed.
