Q

What are the types of shock due to microcirculatory failure

A
  1. Blood maldistribution: decreased peripheral vascular resistance and polling of blood in peripheral tissue
21
Q

What are some examples of blood maldistribution

A

Anaphylactic shock- type I, IgE hypersensitivity
Septic shock- endotoxemia
Neurogenic shock-

22
Q

What is the most common type of septic shock

A

Endotoxemia

23
Q

Describe the pathogenesis of anaphylactic shock

A
  1. Exposure of insect, plant, drug or vaccine
  2. IgE mediated mast cells granulation
  3. Histamine and other mediators
  4. Systemic vasodilation and increased vascular permeability
  5. Blood hypotension
  6. Tissue hypoperfusion
24
Q

What is the major cause of septic shock endotoxemia

A

Gram negative bacilli but can be gram positive

25
What is the pathogenesis of septic shock
1. Toxin (ex: LPS) 2. LPS forms a complex with blood proteins 3. LPS binds to TLR-4 4. Endothelium: downregulation of anticoagulations- tissue factor pathway inhibitor and thrombomodulin 5. Monocytes/macrophages: increasing production of IL-1, IL-6, and TNF
26
What does LPS bind
TLR-4
27
T or F: the outcome of bacterial breakdown and LPS is dose dependent
True
28
What are the outcomes of low quantity of LPS
1. Monocyte/macrophage/ neutrophil activation 2. Endothelial cell activation 3. Complement activation: C3a, C5a Result: local inflammation
29
What are the effects of moderate quantities of LPS
1. Fever 2. Acute phase reactants released from liver 3. Bone releases leukocytes Result: systemic effects
30
What are the results of high quantities of LPS exposure
1. Low cardiac output 2. Low peripheral resistance 3. Blood vessel injury, thrombosis, DIC 4. ARDS Result: septic shock
31
What is the pathogenesis from high LPS exposure
1. Production of TNF, IL-1, IL-6/IL-8, NO, PAF promotes systemic vasodilation and increased vascular permeability 2. Intravascular plasma protein loss decreases oncotic forces 3. Additional intravascular fluid loss 4. Toxins and cytokines induce loss of peripheral vascular tone 5. Hypotension 6. Hypoperfusion 7. Septic shock
32
How can LPS lead to DIC and ARDS
LPS effects on endothelium triggers the coagulation cascade and damages capillaries
33
What is DIC
Pathological activation of coagulation resulting in: 1. Small blood clots formation inside blood vessels throughout body 2. Consumption of coagulation proteins and platelets—> disruption of normal coagulation causing abnormal bleeding 3. Clots plug normal blood flow to organs (kidneys and distal extremities)—>ischemic injury
34
What are some triggers for DIC
1. Bacterial endotoxins, sepsis 2. Parasites 3. Viruses 4. Carcinomas, hemangiosarcoma, leukemia 5. Heat stroke, antigen-antibody complexes
35
What bacterial endotoxins can cause DIC
Babesia and rickettsia
36
What parasites can cause DIC
Dirofilaria and angiostrongylus
37
What viruses can cause DIC
FIP, adenovirus, bluetongue
38
Diffuse ___ and/or generalized ___ activation can initiate DIC
Endothelial damage and/or platelet activation
39
What is ARDS
Multifactorial source of injury to respiratory capillary endothelium (generally primary) and epithelium (diffuse alveolar damage, necrosis)
40
What are some inciting causes of ARDS
Endotoxemia, sepsis, disseminated pulmonary infections, extensive trauma (HBC), burns, transfusions, DIC, pancreatitis, aspiration of gastric contents
41
What tissue? Which is normal vs abnormal and what is wrong
left: normal lung Right: ARDS- dilated blood vessels, lots of inflammatory cells (blue dots) and pink-fluid
42
What is wrong here
ARDS
43
In ARDS, damaged vessels allowed for leakage of fibrin in fluid leading to formation of ___ and resolution through ___
Formation of hyaline membranes (protein, fibrin, surfactant and cell debris), resolution through scarring
44
What makes up hyaline membranes
Protein, fibrin, surfactant, and cell debris
45
What is the pathway for neurogenic shocck
1. Trauma, spinal cord injury, fear, electricity 2. Trigger generalized autonomic NS 3. SNS tone lost, PNS tone dominants 4. Massive peripheral vasodilation with bradycardia 5. Pooling of blood 6. Hypoperfusion
46
What are the 3 stages in the development of shock
1. Compensation (reversible) 2. Progression 3. Irreversible cellular and tissue change
47
What occurs during compensation stage in shock
1. Increase heart rate 2. Peripheral vasoconstriction 3. ADH and AII released 4, increased BP and blood diverted to vital tissue
48
What occurs in the progression stage of shock
1. Anaerobic metabolism 2. Acidosis 3. Peripheral vasoconstriction can’t be maintained 4. Vasodilation
49
What occurs in irreversible cell injury and tissue change during development of shock
Cell and tissue necrosis Hypoxia—> systemic platelet and coagulation activation—> myocardial pump failure—> multiorgan failure—> death
