Term
What is aneurymal disease?
Definition
Local dilatation of out pouching of vessel wall or cardiac chamber 
Term
Two types of Aneurysms 
Definition
  • Ture aneurysm
  • False aneurysm
Term
True aneurysm
Definition
It involves all three layers of an artery
Term
False aneurysm
Definition
  • A pseudo aneurysm - it does not involve such distortion of the artery 
  • Occurs when there is a cut in the artery and blood pools in the tissue 
Term
Who died from and aneurysm?
Definition
John Ritter
Term
What is the Law of Laplace?
Definition

Contractile force within a chamber depends on:

  • The radius of the chamber 
  • Thickness of its wall 
Term
Smaller chambers and thicker chamber walls =?
Definition
Increased contraction force
Term
So, in ventricular dilatation (bigger chambers) =?
Definition
Decreased contraction force to maintain pressure 
Term
5 types of shock
Definition
  • Cardiogenic
  • Hypovolemic
  • Neurogenic or vasogenic
  • Anaphylactic
  • Septic 
Term
Cardiogenic Shock
Definition
  • The heart cannot pump blood out to the organs because it is so damaged
Term
What does cardiogenic shock cause?
Definition
Decreased cardiac output
Term
Hypovolemic Shock 
Definition
  • Occurs when there is insufficient intravascular fluid volume
  • When a person loses too much fluid or blood that they cannot pump enough blood out to the body
Term
What is a condition that causes hypovolemic shock?
Definition
Burns 
Term
Neurogenic or Vasogenic Shock 
Definition
  • Occurs when there is damage to the spinal cord 
  • This causes neural alterations in smooth muscle tone
Term
Anaphylactic Shock 
Definition
Caused by a hypersensitivity reaction 
Term
Septic Shock 
Definition
Caused by infection 
Term
What can cause septic shock?
Definition
  • Foley
  • IV
Term
What generally happens during all types of shock?
Definition
  • The cardiovascular system is unable to perfuse the tissues
Term
If the the cardiovascular system is unable to perfuse to the tissues what can occur?
Definition
Widespread impairment of cellular and tissue metabolism because of the decreased oxygen 
Term
What can cause shock?
Definition
  • Multifactorial
  • Defective heart function
  • Blood volume changes
  • Changes in blood vessels, blood pressure 
Term
Clinical manifestations of shock
Definition
  • Variable
  • Weak
  • "Feeling sick"
  • Cold and hot
  • Nauseated
  • Thirsty
  • Dizzy 
  • Confused 
  • Short of breath 
Term
What 3 things decrease with shock?
Definition
  • Blood pressure
  • Cardiac output
  • Urinary output
Term
What increases with shock?
Definition
Respiratory rate
Term
What are the two most important things to know that occur during shock?
Definition
  • Decreased tissue perfusion =
  • Impaired cellular metabolism 
Term
During shock cells shift from aerobic metabolism to 
Definition
anaerobic metabolism 
Term
What happens to glucose during shock?
Definition
There is an impaired delivery to tissues therefore they cannot uptake the glucose they need 
Term
What do the cells do since they dont have the glucose they need? 
Definition
  • Glycogenolysis - conservation of glycogen
  • Gluconeogenesis - production of glucose
  • Lipolysis - break down of lipids for energy
Term
Gluconeogenesis 
Definition
When cells use proteins for fuel because there is no available glucose 
Term
What then occurs as a compensatory mechanism?
Definition
Metabolic Acidosis 
Term
What does metabolic acidosis do?
Definition
  • It enables cardiac and skeletal muscles to use lactic acid as a fuel source 
  • But only for a limited time 
Term
What causes cardiogenic shock?
Definition
  • Myocardial ischemia
  • MI
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Myocardial or pericardial infections
  • Dysrhythmias
  • Drug toxicity 
Term
Clinical manifestations of Cardiogenic shock are caused by ...
Definition
Inadequate perfusion to the heart 
Term
Cardiogenic shock activates what 3 systems in the body?
Definition
  • Renin-andiotensin
  • Neurohormonal
  • Sympathrtic nervous system 
Term
What does the activation of these 3 systems do?
Definition
  • Fluid retention
  • vasoconstriction
  • tachycardia 
Term
Release of catecholamines does what do the heart?
Definition
Increase contractility and heart rate 
Term
Hypovolemic shock occurs with loss of:
Definition
  • Whole blood
  • Blood plasma
  • Interstitial fluid
  • Basically any loss of fluid 
Term
What things does the body do to improve its self during hypovolemic shock?
Definition
  • Vasoconstriction
  • Increased SVR
  • Increase afterload to improve blood pressure and prefuseion to core organs 
Term
If these fail what happens?
Definition
  • Impaired nutrient delivery occurs
  • Failing cellular metabolism occurs
Term
Neurogenic Shock occurs when what happens?
Definition
Usually a spinal cord injury 
Term
What generally happens during neurogenic shock?
Definition
  • Vasodilation
  • This creates relative hypovolemia 
Term
What are some "other" causes of neurogenic shock?
Definition
  • Severe pain
  • Stress
  • Anesthetic agents
  • Antidepressants 
Term
Clinical manifestations of neurogenic shock?
Definition
  • Decreases SVR
  • Bradycardia 
Term
Anaphylactic Shock occurs when:
Definition
An allergen causes extensive immune and inflammatory response
Term
What things can cause anaphylactic shock?
Definition
  • Snake bites
  • Insects
  • Penicillin 
Term
What generally occurs during Anaphylactic shock?
Definition
  • Vasodilation
  • Increased vascular permeability
  • Peripheral pooling
  • Tissue edema
  • Relative hypovolemia 
Term
Septic Shock is caused by what?
Definition
Infections 
Term
What 3 things cause humans to initiate an inflammatory response?
Definition
  • Bacteremia
  • Endotoxins
  • Exotoxins
Term
What generally occurs to vessels during septic shock?
Definition
Vasodilation
