History
• Ambroise Paré (1510-1590): urged the use of clysters
(enemas to administer fluid into the rectum.
• Miraculous deliverance of Anne Green -1650
• Herman(1830): 1st clear descriptions of intravenous (IV)
fluid therapy. In response to a cholera epidemic, he
attempted to rehydrate patients by injecting 6 ounces of
water into the vein.
• Crile (1899), using sphygmomanometers, proposed that a
profound decline in blood pressure (BP) could account for
all symptoms of shock.
Definition
• Systemic state of low tissue perfusion which is inadequate for normal cellular
respiration.
• insufficient delivery of oxygen and glucose cells switch from aerobic to
anaerobic metabolism perfusion is not restored, cell death ensues.

Pathophysiology of Shock
Shock – Effects on Organ
• Heart – ↓ CO / hypotension / myocardial depressants
• Lung - ↓gas exchange / tachypnoea / pulmonary edema
• Endocrine – ADH → ↑ reabsorption of water
• CNS – perfusion ↓ – drowsy
• Blood - Coagulation abnormalities – DIC
• Renal - ↓ GFR - ↓ urine output
• GIT – mucosal ischaemia – bleeding & hepatic - ↑ enzyme
levels
Clinical alterations in shock
• The presentation of patients with shock may be Subtle (mild confusion,
tachycardia)
• Or easily identifiable(profound hypotesion.anuria)
• The clinical manifestation of shock result from
• 1- inadequate tissue perfusion and oxygenation
• 2- Compensatory responses
• 3- The specific etiology
Classification of Shock
• Hypovolaemic shock (most common)
• Cardiogenic shock
• Obstructive shock
• Distributive shock
• Endocrine shock / Metabolic shock

characteristics of shock
HYPOVOLAEMIC
ETIOLOGY
• Hemorrhagic
• Non-hemorrhagic
 poor fluid intake (dehydration),
 excessive fluid loss due to vomiting, Fistula,
diarrhoea, Burn
 urinary loss (eg. diabetes),
 evaporation,
 or ‘third-spacing’ where fluid is lost into the
gastrointestinal tract and interstitial spaces, as
for example in bowel obstruction or pancreatitis
• myocardial infarction,
• cardiac dysrhythmias,
• valvular heart disease,
• blunt myocardial injury,
• cardiomyopathy
• myocardial depression- endogenous factors (e.g.
bacterial and humoral agents released in
sepsis) or exogenous factors
CARDIOGENIC
ETIOLOGY
OBSTRUCTIVE
ETIOLOGY
• Cardiac Tamponade
• Massive Pulmonary Embolism
• Tension Pneumothorax
• Constrictive pericarditis
Distributive Etiology
• septic shock
• anaphylaxis
• spinal cord injury(neurogenic shock)
ENDOCRINE
ETIOLOGY
• Hypo & Hyperthyroidism.
• Adrenal insufficiency.
Clinical Features
• Features of shock depend on the degree of
loss of volume & on duration of shock.
Clinical Features
Types
• Mild shock
• Moderate shock
• Severe shock
Mild shock
• tachycardia,
• tachypnoea,
• mild reduction in urine output and mild anxiety.
• BP is maintained though decrease in pulse pressure.
• Peripheries are cool and sweaty with prolonged capillary refill times
(except septic/distributive shock).
Moderate shock:
• renal compensatory mechanisms fail--urine output< 0.5
mL/kg per hour.
• BP starts to fall,
• drowsy and mildly confused.
Severe shock:
• profound tachycardia,
• hypotension
• Urine output-zero,
• unconscious with laboured respiration
Stages of shock
• Initial : The cells become leaky and switch to anaerobic metabolism.
• Non-progressive:(compensated stage)
 Attempt to correct the metabolic upset of shock.
 loss of around 15 per cent of the circulating blood volume is within normal
compensatory mechanisms
• Progressive: (decompensated stage )
 Eventually the compensation will begin to fail.
 progressive renal, respiratory and cardiovascular decompensation
 BP is usually maintained but falls after 30–40 per cent of circulating volume has been
lost.
• Refractory :
 Organs fail and the shock can no longer be reversed. myocardial depression and loss of
responsiveness to fluid or inotropic therapy

Principles of Resuscitation
• A: Airway
 patent upper airway
• B: Breathing
 adequate ventilation and
oxygenation
• C: Circulation
 placement of adequate IV access
 cardiac function
 oxygenation
Fluid Therapy in Shock
• Crystalloid Solutions
 Normal saline
 Ringers Lactate solution
 Hartmann’s solution
• Colloid Solutions
• Blood transfusion
Administration of inotropic or chronotropic agents to an empty heart will rapidly
and permanently deplete the myocardium of oxygen stores
Oxygen Carrying Capacity
• Only RBC contribute to oxygen carrying capacity
(hemoglobin)
• Replacement with all other solutions will
 support volume
 Improve end organ perfusion
 Will Not provide additional oxygen carrying capacity
Dynamic Fluid Response
• Infusing 250-500ml of Fluid rapidly in 5 - 10 mts.
 Responders – improvement in their cardiovascular status which is
sustained.
 Transient responders – improvement which then reverts to the previous
state over the next 10–20 minutes
 Non – responders
Vasopressors / Inotropic Drugs
• Vasopressors – Phenylephrine / NA
 Distributive shock states
 Septic shock / Neurogenic
administration of these agents in the absence of adequate preload rapidly leads
to decreased coronary perfusion and depletion of myocardial oxygen reserves.
Where the vasodilatation is resistant to catecholamines (e.g. absolute or relative
steroid deficiency) vasopressin may be used as an alternative vasopressor.
• Inotropics - Dobutamine
 Cardiogenic shock / Severe septic shock
 To increase the cardiac output
Other Treatments
• Correction of Acid – base balance
• Steriods - Hydrocortisone
• Antibiotics
• Catheterisation
• Nasal O2 / Ventilatory support
• CVP Line
• Control of Pain
• ICU – Critical care management
End Points of Resuscitation
Classic / Traditional
• Restoration of blood pressure
• Normalization of heart rate and
urine output
• Appropriate mental status
Improved / Global
• All of the above plus
• Normalization of serum lactate
levels
• Resolution of base deficit
• Adequate - MVS
Goal directed approach
• Urine output > 0.5 mL/kg/hr
• CVP 5 -10 cm H2o
• MAP 65 to 90 mmHg
• Central venous oxygen concentration > 70%
Practically Speaking….
• Know how to distinguish different types of shock and treat
accordingly.
• Look for early signs of shock.
• Monitor the patient using the HR, MAP, mental status, urine
output.
• SHOCK is not equal to hypotension. hypotension is one of the
last signs of shock. patients can be in profound shock with a
normal blood pressure.
•
• Start antibiotics within an hour !
 Do not wait for cultures or blood work.

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Ambroise Paré (1510-1590), who urged the use of clysters (enemas to administer uid into the rectum) to prevent “noxious vapors from mounting to the brain.” Yet he also wrote that phlebotomy is “required in great wounds when there is fear of de exion, pain, delirium, raving, and unqui- etness”; he and others practiced bloodletting during that era because shock accompanying injury was thought to be from “toxins.” Miraculous deliverance of Anne Green, who was exe- cuted in 1650. Crile also concluded that shock was not a process of dying but rather a marshaling of the body’s defenses in patients struggling to live
  • #4 Talking Points Shock is simply defined as inadequate tissue perfusion. It is also often referred to as hypoperfusion. During a shock state, inadequate amounts of oxygen and glucose are delivered to cells. In other words, the amount of oxygen delivered to the cells is less than the amount required for normal metabolism. In addition, an impaired elimination of carbon dioxide and other waste products occurs. Organs of vital importance, brain, heart, and kidneys can suffer irreversible damage, eventually leading to death. Tissue ischaemic sensitivity: - heart, brain, lung: 4-6 min.- GI tract, liver, kidney: 45-60 min.- muscle, skin: 2-3 hours
  • #7 The product of anaerobic respiration is not carbon dioxide but lactic acid.
  • #11 Vicious cycle
  • #16 Haemorrhage control must be achieved rapidly so as to prevent the patient entering the triad of coagulopathy–acidosis– hypothermia. prolonged attempts to volume resuscitate the patient prior to surgery, which will result in further hypothermia and clotting factor dilution until the bleeding is stopped.
  • #18 Forward flow of blood is inadequate bec Of pump failure due to loss of functional myocardium It is the most severe form of heart failure and it is distinguished from chronic heart failure by the presence of hypotension, hypoperfusion and the need for different therapuetic inteventions
  • #19 Cardiac tamponade and constrictive pericarditis impair diastolic filling of the Rt.ventricle Tension pneumothorax limit Rt.ventricular filing by obstruction of venous return Massive pulmonary embolism increase Rt.ventricular afterload
  • #20 1.characterized by loss of vascular tone SIRS: clinical response to a nonspecific insult of either infectious or noninfectious origin. SIRS is defined as 2 or more of the following variables: Fever of more than 38°C (100.4°F) or less than 36°C (96.8°F) Heart rate of more than 90 beats per minute Respiratory rate of more than 20 breaths per minute or arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO 2) of less than 32 mm Hg Abnormal white blood cell count (>12,000/µL or < 4,000/µL or >10% immature [band] forms) SIRS is nonspecific and can be caused by ischemia, inflammation, trauma, infection, or several insults combined. Thus, SIRS is not always related to infection. Septic shock : Gram +, Gram -/ endotoxin , Fungi / Virus, Protozoa Anaphylatic Shock:Injections - Penicillins. Anaesthetics Stings. Shelfish.
  • #21 may present as a combination of hypovolaemic, cardiogenic or distributive shock. Hypothyroidism causes a shock state similar to that of neurogenic shock due to disordered vascular and cardiac responsiveness to circulating catecholamines Thyrotoxicosis may cause a high output cardiac failure. Adrenal insufficiency leads to shock due to hypovolaemia and a poor response to circulating and exogenous catecholamines.
  • #28 compensated stage: the body’s cardiovascular and endocrine compensatory responses reduce flow to non-essential organs to preserve preload and flow to the lungs and brain. there is adequate compensation to maintain central blood volume and preserve flow to the kidneys, lungs and brain. Apart from a tachycardia and cool peripheries (vasoconstriction, circulating catecholamines), there may be no other clinical signs of hypovolaemia. maintained by reducing perfusion to the skin, muscle and gastrointestinal tract. systemic metabolic acidosis and activation of humoral and cellular elements within the underperfused organs. clinically occult, this state will lead to multiple organ failure and death if prolonged due to the ischaemia–reperfusion effect Decompensation Further loss of circulating volume overloads the body’s compensatory mechanisms and there is progressive renal, respiratory and cardiovascular decompensation. loss of around 15 per cent of the circulating blood volume is within normal compensatory mechanisms. Blood pressure is usually well main- tained and only falls after 30–40 per cent of circulating volume has been lost.
  • #29 three stages of shock are compensatory, decompensatory, and irreversible: Compensatory shock or compensated shock, is a stage of shock in which the body is able to maintain a near normal blood pressure and perfusion of the vital organs. Decompensatory shock, decompensated shock, or progressive shock, is an advanced stage of shock in which the body’s compensatory mechanisms are no longer able to maintain a blood pressure and perfusion of the vital organs. If the shock state continues unopposed and is not managed effectively, the compensatory mechanisms become exhausted or overwhelmed, leading to a failure to maintain pressure inside the vessels and perfusion of the vital organs. Irreversible shock is the stage where, regardless of the intervention, the patient outcome is death. Cell, tissue, and organ failure and damage is so pervasive and severe that no matter what treatment is provided, organ death is inevitable and unable to be reversed.
  • #32 no ‘normal’ central venous pressure (CVP) for a shocked patient, and reliance cannot be placed on an individual pressure measurement to assess volume status. Some patients may require a CVP of 5 cmH2O, whereas some may require a CVP of 15 cmH2O or higher. CVP measurements should be assessed dynamically as response to a fluid challenge. normal CVP response is a rise of 2–5 cmH2O which gradually drifts back to the original level over 10–20 minutes
  • #33 The best measures of organ perfusion and the best monitor of the adequacy of shock therapy remains the urine output. level of consciousness is an important marker of cerebral perfusion, but brain perfusion is maintained until the very late stages of shock, and hence is a poor marker of adequacy of resuscitation the only clinical indicators of perfusion of the gastrointestinal tract and muscular beds are the global measures of lactic acidosis (lactate and base deficit) and the mixed venous oxygen saturation. sensitive for both diagnosis of shock and monitoring the response to therapy High mixed venous saturations (>70 per cent) are seen in sepsis and some other forms of distributive shock
  • #37 Daily requirement: water: 35ml/kg/day(2.5l/day) Na: 2 mmol/kg/day K: 1 mmol/kg/day Fluid: 1 lit NS + 2 lit D5% Administration of inotropic or chronotropic agents to an empty heart will rapidly and permanently deplete the myocardium of oxygen stores and dramatically reduce diastolic filling and therefore coronary perfusion no ideal resuscitation fluid-no overt difference in response or outcome between crystalloid solu- tions (normal saline, Hartmann’s solution, Ringer’s lactate) or colloids (albumin or commercially available products). Furthermore, there is less volume benefit to the administration of colloids than had previously been thought, with only 1.3 times more crystalloid than colloid administered in blinded tria
  • #41 CARDIOGENIC SHOCK The main goal is to improve myocardial function Arrhythmia should be treated Reperfusion PCI is the treatment of choice in ACS Inotropes and vasopresor
