True/False: W/a bacterial infection, many complicated systemic reactions occur that result in circulatory insufficiency
True
26
In Septic Shock, what allows fluid to leak out of the blood vessels and into the tissue spaces?
Loss of Vascular Integrity
27
In Septic Shock, Poor Myocardial Contractility leads to.....
Poor tissue Perfusion and Oxygenation
28
With poor Myocardial Contractility, _____ _________ is a high risk.
Organ Failure
29
What is the Hallmark of Septic Shock?
They do not respond to Fluid Resuscitation
30
What are the Altered Areas affected by Shock in Clinical presentation?
``` Respiratory effort Pulses Peripheral perfusion Color Heart Rate Heart-itself B/P Neuro Exam U.O. ```
31
What would you see w/altered Respiratory Effort?
1. Increased WOB 2. Tachypnea 3. Apnea 4. Gasping
32
What is Gasping? | What would you do to tx?
A sign of impending Respiratory Failure | Provide PPV and Possible intubation
33
What would you look for in Pulses w/Septic Shock?
Strength of Pulses | Comparison of them
34
What would you see w/Altered Peripheral Perfusion in Shock?
1. Poor Perfusion 2. Prolonged Cap Refill time 3. Cool Skin 4. Mottled Skin
35
What color might you see in shock?
Cyanosis (and desaturations) | Pallor (may not have enough RBC's to even turn cyantoic--Very BAD)
36
What 2 Heart Rate types might you see in Shock?
Tachycardia | Bradycardia

40
In terms of the Heart on x-ray, what might you see?

41
If a mom has SLE, what might baby have?
Neonatal Heart block

How do you treat Shock?
ID the cause
57
What are the Tx Goals of Shock?
Increasing CO-->Increases Tissue perfusion-->Increases Tissue oxygenation-->Decreases Anaerobic Metabolism-->Decreases Lactic Acid build-up-->Increases pH = Happy NNP & Baby :-)
58
How do you Tx Hypovolemic Shock?
1. Note Acute blood loss | 2. Volume Replacement
59
What type of volume replacement is used?
1. Crystalloid Solutions (NS --usually used 1st, but could be LR) 2. Colloid Solutions (not used much except w/Hydrops--5% Albumin, Plasminates. They stay in vascular space longer, expensive, allergies dev, are blood derivative) 3. Blood Products
60
Will infants with Hx of Chronic blood loss in Severe Shock tolerate volume boluses?
No. They've adapted to the decreased volume. | The boluses are reserved for ACUTE blood loss.
61
What is the emergency blood replacement?
O- | Get it released from Blood Bank
62
What is a good test to try to have done before transfusion if possible?
NBMS
63
How do you Tx Cardiogenic Shock?
Tx underlying problems Negatively affecting Heart Fxn
64
What medications might be used w/Cardiogenic Shock?
Volume Expanders NaHCO3 4.2% (controversial) Dopamine (most common inotrope used-is renal dosing) Epinephrine (increasing use esp W/O response to Dopamine)
65
How do you Tx Septic Shock?
Combo of Hypovolemic and Cardiogenic Shock therapies
66
Does a baby w/Septic Shock need More or Less fluid boluses than other types of shock? Why?
Usually More | D/T movement of fluid from Intravascular to Interstitial Space
67
W/Septic Shock, Oxygenation and Ventilation must be ________.
Maximized
68
What medications may be used to Tx Septic shock?
Volume expanders NaHCO3 4.2% Dopamine
69
When might NaHCO3 be considered as Tx? If given, what needs to be considered?
Severe Metabolic Acidosis Adequate Ventilation Rate of Infusion (linked to IVH in preemies)
70
Dopamine has ______ related effects. Has ________ solutions. Monitor ____, _____ & _________ ____
Dose-related Standardized HR, B/P, & infusion site (PIV site, NEVER in Artery, ONLY IN VEINS)
