Q

causes of hypovolaemic shock

Q

causes of obstructive shock

A

when flow of blood bak into the right atrium, or from the right atrium to the left is prevented by physical obstruction
eg. pericardial effusion leading to right atrial tamponade, gastric dilation and volvulus (gas distended stomach compresses the CdVC and potentially the portal vein), severe PTE, severe heartworm infestation obstructing flow out of the right heart

Q

cause of vasodilatory/distributive shock

A

cytokines and other vasoactive mediators released w/ systemic inflam/anaphylaxis can cause endothelial dysfunction and dilation of the systemic arteries and arterioles, decreasing SVR

27
Q

shock volume for IVFT in cats

A

28
Q

adverse effects of crystalloid fluids

A
  • large volumes required and pattern of distribution may result in haemodilution effects + interstitial oedema
  • rapid IV crystalloid fluid therapy may cause damage to the inner lining of blood vessels and perpetuate inflm and endothelial ‘leakiness’–> further tissue oedema
  • potentially harmful - lung dysfunction dt 75% of dose ending up in the interstitium

50
Q

examples of isotonic fluid loss

A

V+/D+
PU
Fluid accumulation in third space - GIT space, peritoneal, pleural

51
Q

example of hypotonic loss

A
  • secretory D+ eg. neonatal D+ in calves

- third spacing of water into the GIT after ingesting hyperosmolar material ie salt/paintballs

52
Q

example of hypertonic losses

A

patients w/ hypoA and aldosterone deficit –> lack of ability to retain sodium and conserve water –> obliate PU and more rapid dehydration if that patient is also anorexic, + V/D+ (dt reduced circulating cortisol)

53
Q

indications to use 0.9%NaCl

A
  • hypercalcaemia

- metabolic alkalosis (dilutes XS bicarb w/ chloride)

54
Q

indications to use LRS

A
  • correcting metabolic acidosis
55
Q

indications to use plasmalyte-148

A
  • hypomagnesaemia

- severe liver dysfunction unable to metabolise lactate - as uses gluconate and acetate as bicarb precursor

56
Q

how does 0.45% NaCl + 2.5% dextrose behave?

A

Half strength sodium’ (half normal ECF sodium conc.) about half the V of fluid being given will act like replacement fluid for ECF and half will behave as free water once the glucose molecules are metabolised.
