Week 4- Shock cardio/obst Flashcards
(49 cards)
what is shock
syndrome
- decreased tissue perfusion
- impaired cellular metabolism
results in imbalance between supply and demand of 02 and nutrients
how do we classify shock
based on what caused it
Regardless of the type of shock or what caused it – the end result is
inadequate tissue perfusion due to decreased CO
when cells die…
tissue dies…
when tissues die
organs die
people die
CO=
SV x HR
When we think about shock, we need to think about….
CO
SV includes
preload, afterload and contractility
the amount of blood ejected from the heart with each contraction measured in ml/beat
average normal CO
5000ml/min
how to increase CO
increase HR or SV
shock is an imbalance in
CO
Type of shock impacting preload
Hypovolemic= deals with the loss of volume, from intravascular fluid volume as well as blood loss.
Type of shock impacting Contractility
cardiogenic & obstructive
- ineffective pumping of the heart and insufficient perfusion and delivery of O2 to cells
type of shock impacting afterload (pipes)
Distributive: ineffective distribution of blood volume in the vessels because of vessel dilation and inadequate delivery of oxygen. i.e. sepsis, anaphylaxis, and neurogenic.
Initial phase of shock
- little or no s/s
- lactic acid
compensated stage of shock
classic sign
- fairly normal
- hypotension classic sign late in this stage e
uncompensated (progressive) stage of shock
s/s are obvious
really bad need them out
irreversable or refractory stage of shock
it is over
3 compensatory stage mechanisms
neural: activate SNS epinephrine= increase HR, BP, RR, dilate pupils, broncho dilate, decrease blood flow to kidneys at first
Biochemical: (when acid base comes into play): activated by H+, O2, C02 concentrations. stimulated by HR and RR increase
Hormonal: RAAS, ADH (try to increase BP)
still have adequate CO
neural response
activated by
baroreceptors sense
low pressure and blood flow
biochemical response
chemoreceptors sense: decrease pH, decrease O2 and increase CO2
Angiotensin 2=
Aldosterone=
ADH=
increase afterload and BP
increase preload
increase afterload and BP
S/S of compensated shock
- skin normal or slightly pale, cool peripherly
- ↑ resp. rate; normal WOB, normal SpO2
- thirst
- Slightly restless; possibly mild confusion; decreased concentration, ↑glucose
- mild tachycardia, strong pulse centrally, possibly slightly weaker periphery, normal to low BP
- decreased urine output, urine concentration
what do you want as an order in compensatory shock

blood work, lactate, ABG
A client who was in an automobile collision is now in hypovolemic shock. Why is it important for the nurse to take the client’s vital signs frequently during the compensatory stage of shock?
a) Arteriolar constriction occurs.
b) The cardiac workload decreases.
c) Contractility of the heart decreases.
d) The parasympathetic nervous system is triggered.
