SHOCK
2.
Introduction
• Shock isthe most common cause of death of surgical patients.
• Death may occur rapidly because of a profound state of shock or may
occur later because of the consequences of organ ischemia and re-
perfusion injury.
3.
SHOCK
• Shock isa systemic state of low tissue perfusion that is inadequate for
normal cellular respiration.
• Insufficient delivery of oxygen and glucose, cells switch from aerobic to
anaerobic metabolism.
CELLULAR
Perfusion to tissuesis reduced
Cells are deprived of oxygen
Switch from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism
Lactic acid is produced
Accumulation of lactic acid in the blood
Systemic metabolic acidosis
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
6.
CELLULAR
Glucose within thecells get exhausted
Anaerobic respiration ceases
Failure of sodium/potassium pumps in the cell membrane and intracellular organelles
Intracellular lysosomes release auto digestive enzymes
Cell lysis
Intracellular contents (potassium) gets released into the bloodstream
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Hyperkalemia
7.
MICROVASCULAR
Hypoxia and acidosis
Activatescomplement and prime leucocytes
Generation of oxygen free radicals and cytokine release
Leads to injury of the capillary endothelial cells
Activates the immune
and coagulation systems
Damages endothelium loses its
integrity and becomes ‘leaky’
Tissue edema
Exacerbating cellular hypoxia
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
8.
SYSTEMIC
As preload andafter load decreases
Compensatory baroreceptor response gets activated
Increased sympathetic activity and release of catecholamines
Tachycardia and systemic vasoconstriction (except in septic shock)
CARDIOVASCULAR
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
9.
SYSTEMIC
Metabolic acidosis
Increased respiratoryrate and minute ventilation (to increase the excretion of Co2)
Compensatory respiratory alkalosis
RESPIRATORY
Increased sympathetic response
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
10.
SYSTEMIC
Decreased perfusion pressure
Reducedfiltration at the glomerulus and decreased urine output
Activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
Vasoconstriction and increased sodium and water resorption
RENAL
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
11.
SYSTEMIC
Decreased preload
Release ofvasopressin (anti-diuretic hormone)
Vasoconstriction and resorption of water
ENDOCRINE
Cortisol release from adrenal cortex
Sensitizing cells to catecholamines
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
12.
CLASSIFICATION OF SHOCK
•Based on the initiating mechanism.
• All states/types are characterized by systemic tissue hypo-perfusion.
• Different states may coexist within the same patient.
CLASSIFICATION OF SHOCK
•Due to the reduced circulating volume.
• Most common form of shock.
• It is a component of all other forms of shock.
• Causes -
HEMORRHAGIC / HYPOVOLEMIC
Hemorrhagic
Non -
Hemorrhagic
1. Poor fluid intake (dehydration)
2. Excessive fluid loss (vomiting, diarrhea)
3. Urinary loss (diabetes)
4. Evaporation
5. Third spacing (Bowel obstruction and pancreatitis)
15.
CLASSIFICATION OF SHOCK
•Due to primary failure of the heart to pump blood to the tissues.
• Venous hypertension with pulmonary or systemic edema may coexist with the classical
signs of shock.
• Causes -
1. Myocardial infarction
2. Cardiac dysrhythmias
3. Valvular heart disease
4. Blunt myocardial injury
5. Cardiomyopathy
6. Myocardial depression caused by endogenous factors (bacterial and humoral agents
released in sepsis) or exogenous factors (pharmaceutical agents or drug abuse)
CARDIOGENIC
16.
CLASSIFICATION OF SHOCK
•Due to mechanical obstruction of cardiac filling.
• Reduction in pre-load leading to low cardiac output.
• Causes -
1. Cardiac tamponade
2. Tension pneumothorax
3. Massive pulmonary embolus / air embolus
OBSTRUCTIVE
17.
CLASSIFICATION OF SHOCK
•Inadequate organ perfusion is accompanied by vascular dilatation with
hypotension, low systemic vascular resistance, inadequate afterload and a
resulting abnormally high cardiac output.
• There is maldistribution of blood flow at a microvascular level, with
arteriovenous shunting and dysfunction of cellular utilization go oxygen.
• Can be further classified into -
A. Anaphylactic shock - due to histamine release.
B. Septic shock - due to release of endotoxins and activation of immune
system.
C. Neurogenic shock - due to failure of sympathetic outflow and adequate
vascular tone.
DISTRIBUTIVE
18.
CLASSIFICATION OF SHOCK
•Combination of hypovolemic, cardiogenic and distributive shock.
• Causes
A. Hypothyroidism - due to disordered vascular and cardiac
responsiveness to circulating catecholamines. Cardiac output falls as a
result go low inotropy and bradycardia. Associated cardiomyopathy
may be present.
B. Hyperthyroidism - causes high output cardiac failure.
C. Adrenal Insufficiency - due to hypovolemia and a poor response to
circulating and exogenous catecholamines.
ENDOCRINE
RECOGNITION AND DIAGNOSISOF SHOCK
• COMPENSATED SHOCK -
Body’s cardiovascular and endocrine compensatory responses reduces the flow to non-essential organs
like skin, muscle and gastrointestinal tract to preserve preload.
There will be adequate compensation to maintain central blood volume and preserve the flow to
kidneys, lungs and brain.
Clinically occult shock - There may be no clinical signs of hypovolemia apart from tachycardia and cool
peripheries (vasoconstriction and circulating catecholamines).
Occult hypo-perfusion (metabolic acidosis despite normal urine output and cardiorespiratory vital signs)
for more than 12 hours have a significantly higher mortality rate.
• DECOMPENSATED SHOCK -
Loss of circulating volume overloads age body’s compensatory mechanisms.
Loss of around 15% of the circulating volume is within normal compensatory mechanisms. Blood pressure
is well maintained.
Blood pressure only falls after 30 - 40% of circulating volume has been lost.
21.
RECOGNITION AND DIAGNOSISOF SHOCK
• MILD (COMPENSATED) SHOCK -
Tachycardia, tachypnoea, mild reduction in urine output, mild anxiety.
Blood pressure is maintained, decrease in pulse pressure.
Peripheries are cool and sweaty with prolonged capillary refill times (except in septic distributive shock).
• MODERATE SHOCK -
Renal compensation mechanism fail, renal perfusion falls and urine output dips below 0.5 mL/kg/hour. Further
tachycardia.
Blood pressure starts to fall.
Drowsy and mildly confused.
• SEVERE SHOCK -
Profound tachycardia and hypotension.
Urine output falls to zero.
Unconscious with labored respiration.
RECOGNITION AND DIAGNOSISOF SHOCK
• Not a specific marker.
• Hypovolemic shock - cool, pale peripheries with prolonged capillary refill
times.
• Distributive (septic) shock - warm peripheries and capillary refill will be
brisk, despite profound shock.
CLINICAL FEATURES
CAPILLARY REFILL
24.
RECOGNITION AND DIAGNOSISOF SHOCK
• Not always accompany shock.
• Patients on beta-blockers or who have implanted pacemakers are unable
to mount a tachycardia.
• Young patients with penetrating trauma, where there is hemorrhage but
little tissue damage, there may be paradoxical bradycardia rather than
tachycardia.
CLINICAL FEATURES
TACHYCARDIA
25.
RECOGNITION AND DIAGNOSISOF SHOCK
• Hypotension is one of the last signs of shock.
• Maintained until the final stages of shock by dramatic increase in stroke
volume and peripheral vasoconstriction.
CLINICAL FEATURES
BLOOD PRESSURE
26.
CLINICAL CONSEQUENCES OFSHOCK
• Unresuscitatable shock
• Ischemia-reperfusion and systemic inflammatory response syndrome
(SIRS)
• Multiple organ failure
27.
CLINICAL CONSEQUENCES OFSHOCK
• Profound shock for a prolonged period of time.
• Ability of the body to compensate is lost.
UNRESUSCITATABLE SHOCK
Severe acidemia and hyperkalemia
Poor coronary perfusion and
myocardial depression
Poor cardiac output and
limited response to fluids
or inotropic therapy
Loss of ability to maintain
systemic vascular resistance
Further hypotension Peripheries no longer
respond to appropriate
vasopressor agents
28.
CLINICAL CONSEQUENCES OFSHOCK
• Injury occurs once normal circulation is restored.
• Only be attenuated by reducing the extent and duration of tissue hypo-
perfusion.
ISCHAEMIA-REPERFUSION AND SIRS
29.
CLINICAL CONSEQUENCES OFSHOCK
ISCHAEMIA-REPERFUSION AND SIRS
Acid and potassium load that has
built up released into the
circulation
Sensed by and activate leukocytes
Hypoxia
Activation of complement,
neutrophils and
microvascular thrombi
Overwhelms the local anti-inflammatory response
Flushed back into the systemic circulation
Injury to distant organs
Acute lung injury, acute renal injury, cerebral edema,
multiple organ failure and death
30.
CLINICAL CONSEQUENCES OFSHOCK
• Defined as two or more failed organ system.
• Result of prolonged ischemia and re-perfusion injury is end organ
damage and multiple organ failure.
• No specific treatment.
• Management is support of organ systems, with ventilation, cardiovascular
support and hemofiltration/dialysis.
• Mortality of 60%.
