Shock Types Hypovolemic Distributive Cardiogenic Obstructive afterload preload
Hypovolemic Shock decreased effective blood volume decreased end- diastolic filling pressures trauma, diarrheal illness relative hypovolemic state in septic shock volume is key
Stages of Hypovolemic Shock Mild (<20% EBV) Moderate (20-40%) Severe (>40%) cool ext inc capillary refill time diaphoresis collapsed veins anxiety (plus) tachycardia tachypnea oliguria postural changes marked tachycardia hypotension coma
Distributive Shock decreased SVR due to loss of vasomotor control frequently, need volume to unmask a distributive shock state sepsis, anaphylaxis, anaphylactoid reactions, neurogenic shock, hypoadrenalism
Distributive Shock Anaphylactoid shock Anaphylactic shock insect envenomations antibiotics (beta-lactams, vancomycin, sulfonamides) heterologous serum (anti-toxin, anti-sera) blood transfusion immunoglobulins (esp IgA deficient) Egg-based vaccines latex Anaphylactoid shock ionic contrast media protamine opiates polysaccharide volume expanders (dextran, hydroxyethyl starch) muscle relaxants anesthetics
Cardiogenic Shock loss of cardiac pump function (intrinsic) due to myocardial damage, loss of contractility Special: valvular dysfunction characterized by elevations of both diastolic volumes and pressures
Extra-Cardiac Obstructive due to obstruction of flow in the cardiovascular circuit preload obstruction: cardiac tamponade, constrictive pericarditis, other intrathoracic processes afterload obstruction: pulmonary embolism
Hemodynamics of Shock Types CO SVR PWP EDV Hypovolemic Distributive Cardiogenic Obstructive afterload preload
Management Principles frequently reversible in early stages early recognition and emergent intervention are key clinical signs and symptoms may be due to the primary shock state, compensatory mechanisms or end- organ effects
Clinical Signs Primary diagnosis - tachycardia, tachypnea, oliguria, encephalopathy (confusion), peripheral hypoperfusion (mottled, poor capillary refill vs. hyperemic and warm), hypotension Differential DX: JVP - hypovolemic vs. cardiogenic Left S3, S4, new murmurs - cardiogenic Right heart failure - PE, tamponade Pulsus paradoxus, Kussmaul’s sign - tamponade Fever, rigors, infection focus - septic

Advanced Concepts: PPVar resp fluctuations during positive pressure ventilation cause decreased R-sided preload and increased R-sided afterload during inspiration, leading to decreased CO on the R, followed by decreased CO on the L a few beats later. This shows up as a decrease in pulse pressure. Wide variation in pulse pressure due to positive pressure ventilation denotes preload dependence. PEEP moves it to the L. Spec 100%, sensitivity 68%.

A Clinical Approach to Shock Diagnosis and Management Initial Therapeutic Steps Admit to ICU Venous access (1 or 2 wide-bore catheters) Central venous catheter Arterial catheter ECG monitoring Pulse oximetry Hemodynamic support (MAP < 60 mmHg) Fluid challenge Vasopressors for severe shock unresponsive to fluids
A Clinical Approach to Shock Diagnosis and Management When Diagnosis Remains Undefined or Initial Management Fails Pulmonary Artery Catheterization Cardiac output Oxygen delivery Filling pressures Echocardiography Pericardial fluid Cardiac function Valve or shunt abnormalities
A Clinical Approach to Shock Diagnosis and Management Immediate Goals in Shock Hemodynamic support MAP > 60mmHg PAOP = 12 - 18 mmHg Cardiac Index > 2.2 L/min/m2 Maintain oxygen delivery Hemoglobin > 9 g/dL Arterial saturation > 92% Supplemental oxygen/mechanical ventilation Reversal of oxygen dysfunction Decreasing lactate (< 2.2 mM/L) Maintain urine output Reverse encephalopathy Improving renal, liver fxn tests MAP = mean arterial pressure; PAOP = pulmonary artery occlusion pressure.
