Shock
Classification, Pathophysiology and Management
Shock: Definition
A physiologic state characterized by Inadequate tissue perfusion Clinically manifested by Hemodynamic disturbances Organ dysfunction
SHOCK
Hypovolemic Shock Low resistance Shock (distributive) Cardiogenic Shock
Septic Anaphylactic
Neurogenic
ETIOLOGY
HYPOVOLEMIC Shock
Hemorrhagic
Trauma Gastrointestinal Retroperitoneal
CARDIOGENIC Shock
Myopathic
Myocardial infarction Myocarditis Cardiomyopathy Septic myocardial depression
Pharmacologic
Anthracycline cardiotoxicity Calcium channel blockers
Mechanical
Valvular failure (stenotic or regurgitant) Hypertropic cardiomyopathy Ventricular septal defect
Arrhythmic
Left ventricle
DISTRIBUTIVE Shock
Septic (bacterial, fungal, viral, rickettsial) Toxic shock syndrome Anaphylactic, anaphylactoid Neurogenic (spinal shock) Endocrinologic Adrenal crisis Thyroid storm Toxic (e.g., nitroprusside, bretylium)
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology
Imbalance in oxygen supply and demand Conversion from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism Appropriate and inappropriate metabolic and physiologic responses
SHOCK
Dynamic and progressive nature of shock, 3 clinical phases of shock can be identified: 1. Compensated phase 2. Uncompensated phase 3. Irreversible phase
Hypovolemic Shock
Degree of volume loss response 10% well tolerated (tachycardia) 20 - 25% failure of compensatory mechanisms (hypotension, orthostasis, decreased CO) > 40% loss associated with overt shock (marked hypotension, decreased CO, lactic acidemia)
Blood loss (mL) Blood loss (% total) Pulse rate Blood pressure CNS mental status
Cardiogenic Shock
Distributive Shock
Defining feature: loss of peripheral resistance Types:
1. Dominantly septic shock, 2. Anaphylactic and 3. Neurogenic shock less common
Clinical form of shock with greatest contribution of other shock elements - i.e., hypovolemia, cardiac failure
Hyperthermia Tachycardic Tachypnea Warm extremities Bounding pulse Normal capillary refill time Hypertensive / Normotensive Hypoxia Polyuria Increased cardiac output Decreased SVR Normal CNS Respiratory alkalosis Hyperglycemia Normal coagulation
Hypothermia Tachycardic Bradypnea Cold mottled extremities Weak, thready pulse Prolonged capillary refill time Hypotensive Hypoxia Oliguria / anuria Decreased cardiac output Increased SVR Obtunded, comatose Metabolic acidosis Hypoglycemia Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy
Anaphylactic shock: immediate hypersensitivity reaction mediated by the interaction of IgE on mast cells and basophils with the appropriate antigen resulting in mediator cascade Anaphylactoid reactions involve similar release of mediators via non-immunologic mechanisms. Primary mediators include histamine, serotonin, eosinophil chemotactic factor, and proteolytic enzymes. Secondary mediators include PAF, bradykinin, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes.
Anaphylactic shock
Insect envenomations Antibiotics (betalactams, vancomycin, sulfonamides) Heterologous serum (anti-toxin, anti-sera) Blood transfusion Egg-based vaccines Latex
Anaphylactoid shock
Ionic contrast media Protamine Opiates Polysaccharide volume expanders (dextran, hydroxyethyl starch) Muscle relaxants Anesthetics
Pathophysiology: Summary
Diagnosis
Clinical Signs
Differential DX: JVP - hypovolemic vs. cardiogenic S3, S4, new murmurs - cardiogenic Right heart failure - PE, tamponade Pulsus paradoxus, Kussmauls sign - tamponade Fever, rigors, infection focus - septic
Evaluation
Laboratory
Hgb, WBC, platelets PT/PTT Electrolytes, arterial blood gases BUN, Cr Ca, Mg Serum lactate ECG
Invasive Monitoring
Arterial pressure catheter CVP monitoring Pulmonary artery catheter (+/- RVEF, oximetry)
Management
AIM
If shock is untreated, it will cause profound hypoxia leading to multiple organ failure and death.
Hemoglobin > 9 g/dL Arterial saturation > 92% Supplemental oxygen and mechanical ventilation Decreasing lactate Maintain urine output Reverse encephalopathy Improving renal, liver function tests
Admit to intensive care unit (ICU) Venous access (1 or 2 wide-bore catheters) Central venous catheter Arterial catheter EKG monitoring Pulse oximetry Hemodynamic support (MAP < 60 mmHg)
Fluid challenge Vasopressors for severe shock unresponsive to fluids
Diagnosis Remains Undefined or Hemodynamic Status Requires Repeated Fluid Challenges of Vasopressors Pulmonary Artery Catheterization
Cardiac output Oxygen delivery Filling pressures
Echocardiography
Pericardial fluid Cardiac function Valve or shunt abnormalities
Hypovolemic Shock
Identify
Direct pressure for external bleeding. Surgical intervention for internal bleeding.
Traction in case of long bone fracture. Surgery in case of all Gync. bleeds.
Fluid Therapy
Crystalloids
Lactated Ringers solution Normal saline
Colloids
Hetastarch Albumin
Fluid Therapy
Correct hypotension first (golden hour) Decrease heart rate Correct hypoperfusion abnormalities Monitor for deterioration of oxygenation
Fluid Therapy
Crystalloid vs. colloid Optimal PWP 10 - 12 vs. 15 - 18 mm Hg 20 mL/kg fluid challenge in hypovolemic or septic shock with re-challenges of 5 - 10 mL/kg
Cardiogenic Shock
INOTROPES
with the above treatment. Finally surgical interventions like revascularisation should be done basing on the etiology.
Pulmonary embolism
heparin ventilation/perfusion lung scan pulmonary angiography consider: - thrombolytic therapy - embolectomy at surgery
Broad spectrum Antimicrobials Removal of source of infection Hemodynamic support - IV fluids 1-2 lit of NS over 2hrs
- Urine output maintained at >0.5 ml/kg/hr - Diuretic is used when needed. - If fluid resuscitation fails, inotropics and vasopressors are used.
Respiratory support by mechanical ventilation . If Hb < 7g/dL, packed RBC are given to maintain the oxygenation
Initial nasal catheter or intermittent positive pressure ventilation Antihistamines for relieving urticaria-angioedema Glucocorticoids used later to prevent recurrence
