"Shock is the manifestation of the rude unhinging of the machinery of life.“
Samuel V. Gross, 1872
3
Historical background
Integral to our understanding of shock is the appreciation that our bodies attempt to maintain a state of homeostasis. Claude Bernard suggested in the mid-nineteenth century that the organism attempts to maintain constancy in the internal environment against external forces that attempt to disrupt the milieu interieur.
4
Walter B. Cannon carried Bernard's observations further and introduced the term homeostasis, emphasizing that an organism's ability to survive was related to maintenance of homeostasis. He first described the "fight or flight response," generated by elevated levels of catecholamines in the bloodstream. Cannon's observations on the battlefields of World War I led him to propose that the initiation of shock was due to a disturbance of the nervous system that resulted in vasodilation and hypotension. He proposed that secondary shock, with its attendant capillary permeability leak, was caused by a "toxic factor" released from the tissues.
5
In a series of critical experiments, Alfred Blalock documented that the shock state in hemorrhage was associated with reduced cardiac output due to volume loss, not a "toxic factor.“ In 1934, Blalock proposed four categories of shock: hypovolemic, vasogenic, cardiogenic, and neurogenic.
6
In 1947, Wiggers developed a sustainable, irreversible model of hemorrhagic shock based on uptake of shed blood into a reservoir to maintain a set level of hypotension.
7
G. Tom Shires added further understanding of hemorrhagic shock with a series of clinical studies demonstrating that a large extracellular fluid deficit, greater than could be attributed to vascular refilling alone, occurred in severe hemorrhagic shock. The phenomenon of fluid redistribution after major trauma involving blood loss was termed third spacing and described the translocation of intravascular volume into the peritoneum, bowel, burned tissues, or crush injury sites.

Objectives Definition Approach to the hypotensive patient Types
Specific treatments
9
Definition of Shock Inadequate oxygen delivery to meet metabolic demands Results in global tissue hypoperfusion and metabolic acidosis Shock can occur with a normal blood pressure and hypotension can occur without shock
10
Understanding Shock Inadequate systemic oxygen delivery activates autonomic responses to maintain systemic oxygen delivery Sympathetic nervous system NE, epinephrine, dopamine, and cortisol release Causes vasoconstriction, increase in HR, and increase of cardiac contractility (cardiac output) Renin-angiotensin axis Water and sodium conservation and vasoconstriction Increase in blood volume and blood pressure
11
Understanding Shock Cellular responses to decreased systemic oxygen delivery ATP depletion → ion pump dysfunction Cellular edema Hydrolysis of cellular membranes and cellular death Goal is to maintain cerebral and cardiac perfusion Vasoconstriction of splanchnic, musculoskeletal, and renal blood flow Leads to systemic metabolic lactic acidosis that overcomes the body’s compensatory mechanisms
12
Global Tissue Hypoxia Endothelial inflammation and disruption
Inability of O2 delivery to meet demand Result: Lactic acidosis Cardiovascular insufficiency Increased metabolic demands
13
Multiorgan Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS)
Progression of physiologic effects as shock ensues Cardiac depression Respiratory distress Renal failure DIC Result is end organ failure
15
There are three stages of shock:
Stage I (also called compensated, nonprogressive) Stage II (also called decompensated or progressive) and Stage III (also called irreversible).
16
Stage 1 low blood flow (perfusion) is first detected
a number of systems are activated in order to maintain/restore perfusion. All this serves to maximize blood flow to the most important organs and systems in the body. The patient in this stage of shock has very few symptoms
17
Stage 2 methods of compensation begin to fail.
The systems of the body are unable to improve perfusion any longer, and the patient's symptoms reflect that fact. Oxygen deprivation in the brain causes the patient tobecome confused and disoriented, while oxygen deprivation in the heart may cause chest pain. With quick andappropriate treatment, this stage of shock can be reversed.
18
Stage 3 the length of time that poor perfusion has existed begins to take a permanent toll on the body's organs and tissues. The heart's functioning continues to spiral downward, and the kidneys usually shut down completely. Cells in organs and tissues throughout the body are injured and dying. The endpoint of Stage III shock is the patient's death.
19
Approach to the Patient in Shock
ABCs Cardiorespiratory monitor Pulse oximetry Supplemental oxygen IV access ABG, labs Foley catheter Vital signs including rectal temperature
20
Diagnosis Physical exam (VS, mental status, skin color, temperature, pulses, etc) Infectious source Labs: CBC Chemistries Lactate Coagulation studies Cultures ABG
21
Further Evaluation CT of head/sinuses Lumbar puncture Wound cultures
Acute abdominal series Abdominal/pelvic CT or US Cortisol level Fibrinogen, FDPs, D-dimer
22
Approach to the Patient in Shock
History Recent illness Fever Chest pain, SOB Abdominal pain Comorbidities Medications Toxins/Ingestions Recent hospitalization or surgery Baseline mental status Physical examination Vital Signs CNS – mental status Skin – color, temp, rashes, sores CV – JVD, heart sounds Resp – lung sounds, RR, oxygen sat, ABG GI – abd pain, rigidity, guarding, rebound Renal – urine output
23
Is This Patient in Shock?
Patient looks ill Altered mental status Skin cool and mottled or hot and flushed Weak or absent peripheral pulses SBP <110 Tachycardia Yes! These are all signs and symptoms of shock
24
Shock Do you remember how to quickly estimate blood pressure by pulse?
60 If you palpate a pulse, you know SBP is at least this number 70 80 90
25
Goals of Treatment ABCDE Airway control work of Breathing
optimize Circulation assure adequate oxygen Delivery achieve End points of resuscitation
26
Airway Determine need for intubation but remember: intubation can worsen hypotension Sedatives can lower blood pressure Positive pressure ventilation decreases preload May need volume resuscitation prior to intubation to avoid hemodynamic collapse
27
Control Work of Breathing
Respiratory muscles consume a significant amount of oxygen Tachypnea can contribute to lactic acidosis Mechanical ventilation and sedation decrease WOB and improves survival
28
Optimizing Circulation
Isotonic crystalloids Titrated to: CVP 8-12 mm Hg Urine output 0.5 ml/kg/hr (30 ml/hr) Improving heart rate May require 4-6 L of fluids No outcome benefit from colloids
29
Maintaining Oxygen Delivery
Decrease oxygen demands Provide analgesia and anxiolytics to relax muscles and avoid shivering Maintain arterial oxygen saturation/content Give supplemental oxygen Maintain Hemoglobin > 10 g/dL,(8 g/dl) Serial lactate levels or central venous oxygen saturations to assess tissue oxygen extraction SmvO2 – mixed venous oxygen saturation from a PAC ScvO2 – central venous oxygen saturation from central line
30
End Points of Resuscitation
Goal of resuscitation is to maximize survival and minimize morbidity Use objective hemodynamic and physiologic values to guide therapy Goal directed approach Urine output > 0.5 mL/kg/hr CVP 8-12 mmHg MAP 65 to 90 mmHg Central venous oxygen concentration > 70%
31
Persistent Hypotension
Inadequate volume resuscitation Pneumothorax Cardiac tamponade Hidden bleeding Adrenal insufficiency Medication allergy
32
Practically Speaking….
Keep one eye on these patients Frequent vitals signs: Monitor success of therapies Watch for decompensated shock Let your nurses know that these patients are sick!

58
Etiologies What are some causes of cardiogenic shock? AMI Sepsis
Myocarditis Myocardial contusion Aortic or mitral stenosis, HCM Acute aortic insufficiency
59
Pathophysiology of Cardiogenic Shock
Often after ischemia, loss of LV function Lose 40% of LV clinical shock ensues CO reduction = lactic acidosis, hypoxia Stroke volume is reduced Tachycardia develops as compensation Ischemia and infarction worsens
60
Ancillary Tests EKG CXR
CBC, Chem 10, cardiac enzymes, coagulation studies Echocardiogram
61
Treatment of Cardiogenic Shock
Goals- Airway stability and improving myocardial pump function Cardiac monitor, pulse oximetry Supplemental oxygen, IV access Intubation will decrease preload and result in hypotension Be prepared to give fluid bolus
62
Treatment of Cardiogenic Shock
AMI Aspirin, beta blocker, morphine, heparin If no pulmonary edema, IV fluid challenge If pulmonary edema Dopamine – will ↑ HR and thus cardiac work Dobutamine – May drop blood pressure Combination therapy may be more effective PCI or thrombolytics RV infarct Fluids and Dobutamine (no NTG) Acute mitral regurgitation or VSD Pressors (Dobutamine and Nitroprusside)
63
What Type of Shock is This?
A 34 yo F presents to the ER after dining at a restaurant where shortly after eating the first few bites of her meal, became anxious, diaphoretic, began wheezing, noted diffuse pruritic rash, nausea, and a sensation of her “throat closing off”. She is currently hypotensive, tachycardic and ill appearing. Types of Shock Hypovolemic Septic Cardiogenic Anaphylactic Neurogenic Obstructive Anaphalactic
64
Anaphalactic Shock
65
Anaphylactic Shock Anaphylaxis – a severe systemic hypersensitivity reaction characterized by multisystem involvement IgE mediated Anaphylactoid reaction – clinically indistinguishable from anaphylaxis, do not require a sensitizing exposure Not IgE mediated
66
Anaphylactic Shock What are some symptoms of anaphylaxis?
First- Pruritus, flushing, urticaria appear Next- Throat fullness, anxiety, chest tightness, shortness of breath and lightheadedness Finally- Altered mental status, respiratory distress and circulatory collapse
67
Anaphylactic Shock Risk factors for fatal anaphylaxis
Poorly controlled asthma Previous anaphylaxis Reoccurrence rates 40-60% for insect stings 20-40% for radiocontrast agents 10-20% for penicillin Most common causes Antibiotics Insects Food
68
Anaphylactic Shock Mild, localized urticaria can progress to full anaphylaxis Symptoms usually begin within 60 minutes of exposure Faster the onset of symptoms = more severe reaction Biphasic phenomenon occurs in up to 20% of patients Symptoms return 3-4 hours after initial reaction has cleared A “lump in my throat” and “hoarseness” heralds life-threatening laryngeal edema
69
Anaphylactic Shock- Diagnosis
Clinical diagnosis Defined by airway compromise, hypotension, or involvement of cutaneous, respiratory, or GI systems Look for exposure to drug, food, or insect Labs have no role
70
Anaphylactic Shock- Treatment
ABC’s Angioedema and respiratory compromise require immediate intubation IV, cardiac monitor, pulse oximetry IVFs, oxygen Epinephrine Second line Corticosteriods H1 and H2 blockers Epi – the single most important step in treatment
71
Anaphylactic Shock- Treatment
Epinephrine 0.3 mg IM of 1:1000 (epi-pen) Repeat every 5-10 min as needed Caution with patients taking beta blockers- can cause severe hypertension due to unopposed alpha stimulation For CV collapse, 1 mg IV of 1:10,000 If refractory, start IV drip
72
Anaphylactic Shock - Treatment
Corticosteroids Methylprednisolone 125 mg IV Prednisone 60 mg PO Antihistamines H1 blocker- Diphenhydramine mg IV H2 blocker- Ranitidine 50 mg IV Bronchodilators Albuterol nebulizer Atrovent nebulizer Magnesium sulfate 2 g IV over 20 minutes Glucagon For patients taking beta blockers and with refractory hypotension 1 mg IV q5 minutes until hypotension resolves Methylprednisolone causes less fluid retention
73
Anaphylactic Shock - Disposition
All patients who receive epinephrine should be observed for 4-6 hours If symptom free, discharge home If on beta blockers or h/o severe reaction in past, consider admission
74
What Type of Shock is This?
A 41 yo M presents to the ER after an MVC complaining of decreased sensation below his waist and is now hypotensive, bradycardic, with warm extremities Types of Shock Hypovolemic Septic Cardiogenic Anaphylactic Neurogenic Obstructive Neurogenic
75
Neurogenic Shock
76
Neurogenic Shock Occurs after acute spinal cord injury
Sympathetic outflow is disrupted leaving unopposed vagal tone Results in hypotension and bradycardia Spinal shock- temporary loss of spinal reflex activity below a total or near total spinal cord injury (not the same as neurogenic shock, the terms are not interchangeable)
77
Neurogenic Shock Loss of sympathetic tone results in warm and dry skin
Shock usually lasts from 1 to 3 weeks Any injury above T1 can disrupt the entire sympathetic system Higher injuries = worse paralysis
78
Neurogenic Shock- Treatment
A,B,Cs Remember c-spine precautions Fluid resuscitation Keep MAP at mm Hg for first 7 days Thought to minimize secondary cord injury If crystalloid is insufficient use vasopressors Search for other causes of hypotension For bradycardia Atropine Pacemaker
79
Neurogenic Shock- Treatment
Methylprednisolone Used only for blunt spinal cord injury High dose therapy for 23 hours Must be started within 8 hours Controversial- Risk for infection, GI bleed
80
What Type of Shock is This?
A 24 yo M presents to the ED after an MVC c/o chest pain and difficulty breathing. On PE, you note the pt to be tachycardic, hypotensive, hypoxic, and with decreased breath sounds on left Types of Shock Hypovolemic Septic Cardiogenic Anaphylactic Neurogenic Obstructive Obstructive
81
Obstructive Shock
82
Obstructive Shock Tension pneumothorax
Air trapped in pleural space with 1 way valve, air/pressure builds up Mediastinum shifted impeding venous return Chest pain, SOB, decreased breath sounds No tests needed! Rx: Needle decompression, chest tube
83
Obstructive Shock Cardiac tamponade
Blood in pericardial sac prevents venous return to and contraction of heart Related to trauma, pericarditis, MI Beck’s triad: hypotension, muffled heart sounds, JVD Diagnosis: large heart CXR, echo Rx: Pericardiocentisis
84
Obstructive Shock Pulmonary embolism
Virscow triad: hypercoaguable, venous injury, venostasis Signs: Tachypnea, tachycardia, hypoxia Low risk: D-dimer Higher risk: CT chest or VQ scan Rx: Heparin, consider thrombolytics
85
Obstructive Shock Aortic stenosis
Resistance to systolic ejection causes decreased cardiac function Chest pain with syncope Systolic ejection murmur Diagnosed with echo Vasodilators (NTG) will drop pressure! Rx: Valve surgery
