    - if pt has cardiogenic shock: 100-200 mL boluses
25
Q

when to start vasoactive agents in treating shock pts

A

start AFTER fluid MAP is still < 65

required lines
- arterial line if possible for monitoring
- CVC for admin

26
Q

vasopressors vs. inotropes

A
  • chronotropy: rate of contraction
  • inotropy: contractile strength
27
Q

NE MOA

KNOW

A

alpha adrenergic agonst (and a lil beta 1)

increase peripheral vasoconstriction (alpha MOA)-> inrease MAP

28
Q

beta 1 MOA

A

HR, stroke volume

29
Q

beta 2 MOA

A
  • contration strength
  • vasodilaton
  • bronchial relaxation
30
Q

alpha 1 MOA

A

vasoconstriction -> increase MAP

31
Q

NE use in shock

A
  • the golden child, our favorite in most cases dt beter side effect profile (however may vasoconstrict too much, so monitor)
  • high dose may be neede din septic shock dt endogenous down regulation of alpha receptors
32
Q

epinephrine mOA

A

alpha (at high dose) and beta adrenergic agonist

  • Increase in HR and stroke volume (beta 1)
  • Increase in MAP (both secondary to the beta 1 effect and alpha 1 effect)
33
Q

epinephrine use in shock

A
  • secondary choice in sepsis
  • useful in anaphylactic shock dt beta 2 (bronchial relaxaton)
34
Q

epinephrine ADR

A

aeroic lactate production -> makes it hard to see if pt’s own lactate is going down

35
Q

DA MOA

A

dose dependent
- low dose: DA - vasodilation, icnrease in renal blood flow, GFR, and Na excretion
- medium dose: beta 1 - HR, stroke volume
- high dose: alpha 1 - vasoconstriciton

36
Q

DA use in shock

A
  • not really used dt ADR (tachycarida and arrhythmias (KNOW) )
  • most effective in hypotensive pts with decreased cardiac function
37
Q

phenylephrine MOA

KNOW

A

selective alpha 1 agonist

peripheral vasoconstriction (can go overboard and induce reflex bradycardia (KNOW))

38
Q

phenylprine use in shock

KNOW

A

not recomended i shock unless CO is high and BP is persistenly low

39
Q

vasopressin use in shock

antidiuretic hormone; KNOW

A

used with vasopressors (catecholamines) to reduce the dose required

do NOT use alone in sepsis

40
Q

angiotensin II use in shock

A
  • Added on after we’ve already tried one or two vasopressors; the idea is to redued catecholamine vasopressors
  • risk for thromboembolism (KNOW)
41
Q

dobutamine MOA

KNOW

A

produceds inotropic action via beta 1

42
Q

dobutamine use in shock

KNOW

A

added to catecholinae treatment when CO, SVO2/SCVO2 goals have not been achieved

43
Q

septic shock management

A
  • correctoin of underlying caused (abx and source control)
  • fluid resuscitation
  • vasopressors
  • inotropes
  • CS
44
Q

sepsis

A

life threatening organ dysfuction causd b a dysregulated host response to infection

45
Q

septic shock

A

subset of sepsis with profound circulatory, cellular, and metabolic abnormaities

46
Q

SIRS criteria

KNOW

A

at least 2 of the following
- temp > 38C or < 36C
- HR > 90
- RR > 20
- WBC > 12 or < 4

47
Q

qSOFA score

KNOW

A

rapid bedside score - at least 2 of the following
* SBP <100 mmHg
* RR > 22
* Altered mentaton

like SIRS

48
Q

sepsis shock - 1 hr bundle

A
  1. measure lactate level (remeasure if > 2)
  2. obtain blood cultures before admin of ABX
  3. admin broad spectrum ABX
  4. if hypotension or lactate > 4: admin 30ml/kg of crystallloid over 15-30 min followed by 10 ml/kg boluses prn (if pt potnetially has cardiogenic shock, avoid the prn, but still give the initial)
  5. consider vasopressors (goal MAP > 65mmHg; if MAP > 65 with serum lactate > 2mmol/L AND no hypovolemia → give vasopressors)
49
Q

when to provide MRSA coverage for empiric septic shock

KNOW

A
  • stuff that would make you thinnk mrsa (hx, recurrent infection)
  • hospital: IV abx, recent hosptal admit
  • more prone: invasive device, hemodilysis
  • bad bad infection
50
Q

when to use 2 gra neg agents for empiric septic shock cvoerage

KNOW

A

high risk for MDR (multi drug resistant bugs)

  • proven infection or colonization of MDR in past year
  • area: travel to highly endemic country in past 90 days; local prevalence resistant organisms
  • hospital: hospital acquired; recent broad spectrum IV ABX in past 90 days
51
Q

goal of fluid admin in septic shock

A
  • increase SV, CO, DO2
  • rehydrate intravascular space (that’s what’s usually dehdyrated in sepsis)
52
Q

why type of fluid is preferred in septic shck

A
  • crystalloids (LR and NS)
  • albumin (colloid) can be added if pt requried substantial amounts of crystalloids

starches NOT recommended dt inncreased risk of mortality, AKI, bleed

53
Q

how does cortisol improve psyioglogic response to stress

A
  • regulation of pro-inflammatory state
  • inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthesis (iNOS)
  • revereses adrenergic receptor desnsitiation
  • incease Na and wate retetion(icrease intravascular volume)
54
Q

when wouold you consider hydrocortisone in septic hock

A
  • dded after poor response to fluids and vasopressors (refractory shock)
    • improves time to shock resolution and increased in vasopressor days
  • recommended when there is ongoing need for vasopressors
    • though usually added when pt is hypotensive despite increasing NE dose and/or initiatoin of vasopressin
55
Q

hydrocortisone dosing for septic shock

A
  • 200mg IV QD 3-7D
    • 50mg IV Q6H OR 200mg/day as continuous infusion
    • taper off over 2-3 days wehn shock is resolved
