Q

What is preload? Afterload?

A

Preload = pressure/volume in ventricles as they fill up

Afterload = the pressure the left ventricles have to overcome for blood to flow, resistance to blood flow

Q

How do fluids and vasopressors affect preload/afterload?

A

Fluids will increase preload (diuretics will decrease it)

Anything that causes vasoconstriction (like vasopressors) will increase afterload (so vasodilation will decrease it)

Q

CVP
PCWP
CO
SVR

How does hypovolemic shock affect these values?

A

Low fluid, therefore CVP and PCWP decreased

CO is down as a result, but SVR will compensate (vasoconstriction) and increase

Q

CVP
PCWP
CO
SVR

How does cardiogenic shock affect these values?

A

Fluid status is usually increased, so CVP and PCWP are increased.

CO is still down as a result and SVR will compensate by increasing

Q

What did the SAFE trial say?

A

ICU patients, fluid resuscitation with albumin vs NS

No difference in 28-day mortality

Subgroup analysis with traumatic brain injury had a higher mortality with albumin (but wasn’t the focus of the trial)

Use crystalloids (NS) for initial resuscitation vs colloids)

Another study (CRISTAL) showed the same results except they did it with more crystalloids and colloids

Q

Activation of alpha 1 and 2 in the vascular smooth muscle/CNS cause vaso(constriction/dilation)

A

Alpha 1 = constriction

Alpha 2 = dilation in CNS, constriction in vascular space

30
Q

Activation of beta 1 and 2 in the vascular smooth muscle cause vaso(constriction/dilation)

A

Beta 1 = increased chronotropy (cardiac muscle)

Beta 2 = dilation

31
Q

Activation of dopamine and phosphodiesterase in the vascular smooth muscle cause vaso(constriction/dilation)

A

Dopamine = constriction

Phosphodiesterase = dilation

32
Q

Activation of vasopressin 1 and 2 in the vascular smooth muscle cause vaso(constriction/dilation)

A

1 = constriction

2 = increases blood volume (water retention in kidneys)

33
Q

Activation of alpha receptors have more of an affect on (CVP/SVR)

A

SVR; constriction of vascular smooth muscles typically occur on the arterial side

Venous side (CVP) doesnt change shape much

34
Q

Which one increases SVR? What does the other one do?

A

V1

V2 - increased blood volume

Both ultimately increases arterial pressure

35

Diuretics (caution)

Norepi is first line

You may do norepi + another vasopressor + inotropes (watch for hypotension)

Mechanical devices if nothing else works

42
Q

Cardiogenic shock goal?

A

MAP >60-65mmHg

43
Q

What did the SOAP II trial show?

A

Higher mortality rate with dopamine use in cardiogenic shock. That’s why dopamine is not recommended in treatment

Also causes more arrhythmias

44
Q

How is distributive shock treated?

A

Crystalloids and then norepi as first line BUT you may add vasopressin or epi on top

Target MAP is at 65mmHg

Steroids can be used but is controversial

Antimicrobials within 1 hr for 7-10 days

45
Q

What condition is common in distributive shock?

A

Sepsis

46
Q

What is the SIRS criteria?

Temp >38 or <36
HR>90
RR>20
WBC>12 or <4

47
Q

What does the SOFA score look into?

A

Organ failure assessment (used in the newest sepsis scoring assessment)

48
Q

Whats in the qSOFA scoring?

A

RR≤22bpm

Altered mentation

SBP≤100mmHg

≥2 suggest poor outcome

49
Q

How much crystalloid should you give in distributive shock and for what reason?

A

30ml/kg

For hypotension or lactate ≥4

50
Q

What is the ACTH stimulation test?

A

Uses cosyntropin to stress adrenal glands to measure increased cortisol levels

≤9 is insufficient

51
Q

What did the CORTICUS study show?
