Shock Flashcards
(43 cards)
what is shock?
inadequate tissue perfusion
leads to cellular dysfunction
then organ failure
possible identifiable consequences of shock:
hypotension tachycardia decreased urine output adventitious breath sounds tissue hypoxia metabolic acidosis
4 types of shock
- hypovolemic
- cardiogenic
- distributive
- obstructive
3 types of distributive shock
neurogenic
anaphylactic
septic
type of shock due to blood/plasma loss due to burns or peritonitis
(extracellular fluid losses–> diarrhea, dehydration)
hypovolemic shock
what happens to the vitals during hypovolemic shock
- decreased BP
- increased HR
- decreased CVP (central venous pressure)
- poor capillary refill
type of shock that is due to decreased cardiac output
cardiogenic shock
what are the causes of cardiogenic shock?
- cardiac surgery
- dysrhythmias
- primary pump failure
- myocarditis
- cardiomyopathy
- heart failure
- AV block (dysrhythmia)
- SVT (supraventricular tachycardia = type of dysrhythmia)
cardiac output formula
cardiac output = stroke volume X HR
type of shock that is a vascular problem that prevents the blood from being distributed properly
distributive shock (vasogenic shock)
type of shock that is a massive vasodilation (loss of sympathetic nervous system tone)
- happens in spinal cord injuries
- full bladder
neurogenic shock
what happens to the BP during neurogenic shock>
decreases;
bc of vasodilation
type of shock where there is a massive vasodilation and capillary leakage
(hypersensitivity reaction)
anaphylactic shock
RESPIRATORY symptoms during anaphylactic shock
- stridor
- cough/wheeze
- rhinitis
CUTANEOUS symptoms during anaphylactic shock
- flushing
- urticarial/hives
- angioedema
CARDIOVASCULAR symptoms during anaphylactic shock
- tachycardia
- arrhythmia
- hypotension
- hypovolemia
GASTROINTESTINAL symptoms during anaphylactic shock
- nausea/vomiting
- diarrhea
- abdominal pain
CNS symptoms during anaphylactic shock
- impending doom
- LOC changes
- seizures
- headache
amount of epinephrine to give for children 8-25kg
0.15mg (EpiPen Jr.)
amount of epinephrine to give for children > 25kg
0.3mg (EpiPen)
amount of epinephrine to give (first like rescue med)
0.01 mg/kg to 0.3 mg/kg
type of shock that causes massive vasodilation and capillary leakage
(maldistribution of blood)
septic shock
signs of septic shock
fever, high WBCs
type of shock that may appear like hypovolemic shock, but the cause is different (mechanical)
–there is a road block
obstructive shock
