Shock is a medical emergency characterized by inadequate tissue perfusion leading to cellular dysfunction. It can be caused by issues related to blood volume, cardiac function, vasodilation, or obstruction of blood flow. The main goals in treatment are to restore circulating volume and tissue perfusion through intravenous fluids, blood products, vasopressors if needed, and treating the underlying cause. Early recognition and treatment are important to prevent multiple organ failure and death.

leading to cellular and circulatory dysfunction
It is a medical emergency, if unrecognized or
inadequately treated will result in high mortality
11. GLUCOSE METABOLISM
2 LACTIC ACID
2 ATP
HEAT (32 kcal)
Glycolysis: Inefficient source of energy production; 2 ATP
for every glucose; produces pyruvic acid
12. 6 O2
GLUCOSE
METABOLISM
6 CO2
6 H2O
36 ATP
HEAT (417 kcal)
Oxidative phosphorylation: Each pyruvic acid is
converted into 34 ATP
13. Occurs without oxygen
oxidative phosphorylation cant occur without
oxygen
glycolysis can occur without oxygen
cellular death leads to tissue and organ death
can occur even after return of perfusion
organ dysfunction or death
15. Markers Of Hypo perfusion
Serum Lactate
Metabolic acidosis
Hypotension
16. Adequate Volume
Normal Cardiac Function
Normal Vessels
Failure of one or more of these causes shock
17. Hypovolemic Shock
- Blood volume problem
Cardiogenic Shock
- Blood pump problem
Obstructive Shock
- Filling Problem
Distributive Shock
- Blood vessels problem
18. Loss of Volume
Blood loss
Trauma
Non-traumatic
Vaginal
GI
GU
Fluid loss
- Dehydration
- Burns
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Diuresis
- Sweating
Third space losses
Pancreatitis
Peritonitis
Bowel obstruction
20. Recognize & Treat during compensatory phase
Restlessness, anxiety, combativeness = Earliest
signs of shock
Best indicator of resuscitation effectiveness =
Level of Consciousness
21. Tissue ischemic sensitivity
Heart, brain, lung: 4 to 6 minutes
GI tract, liver, kidney: 45 to 60 minutes
Muscle, skin: 2 to 3 hours
Resuscitate Critical Tissues First
22. Goal: Restore circulating volume, tissue perfusion & correct cause
A B C
Two large bore IV lines/central line
Fluids / Blood & Products /vasopressors
Target arterial BP SBP 90 mmHg
- MAP 65 mmHg.
Catheterize the bladder
IV Cannulation
23. Consequences of volume loss
15%[750ml]- compensatory mechanism maintains cardiac
output
15-30% [750-1500ml]-decreased BP & urine output
30-40% [1500-2000ml] -profound shock along with severe
acidosis
40-50% - refractory stage
24. Cardiogenic Shock = Pump Failure
Myopathic
-M I
-CHF
-Cardiomyopathy
Arrhythmic
-Tachy or
bradyarrhythmias Mechanical
-Valvular Failure
25. History
Chest pain, Palpitations, SOB
RHD, IHD
Physical exam
Signs of ventricular failure
Heart : Murmurs,S3,S4
26. Treat rate, then rhythm, then BP
Correct bradycardia or tachycardia
Correct irregular rhythms
Treat BP
Cardiac contractility (inotropes)
Dobutamine, Dopamine
27. Inadequate perfusion of tissues due to mal-
distribution of blood flow (blood vessels problem)
Cardiac pump & blood volume are normal but blood
is not reaching the tissues.
29. Septic shock is the most common cause of distributive
shock and is caused by an overwhelming systemic
infection that cannot be cleared by the immune system,
resulting in vasodilation and hypotension
30. A B C
Assist ventilation & Augment Oxygenation
Restore Tissue perfusion-
IV Fluids, Vasopressors
Identification & Eradication of septic foci
Specific therapies (antibiotics)
31. Anaphylactic shock is caused by a severe reaction to an
allergen, leading to the release of histamine that causes
widespread vasodilation and hypotension.
In Anaphylaxis blood pressure drops suddenly and the
airways narrow, blocking breathing.
Signs and symptoms include a rapid, weak pulse; a skin rash;
and nausea and vomiting.
Common triggers include certain foods, some medications, insect
venom and latex.
32. Epinephrine (adrenaline) to reduce the body's allergic
response.
Oxygen, to help breathe.
Intravenous (IV) antihistamines and cortisone to reduce
inflammation of the air passages and improve breathing.
A beta-agonist (such as albuterol) to relieve breathing
symptoms.
Isotonic Fluids
33. Neurogenic shock arises due to damage to the central
nervous system, which impairs cardiac function by
reducing heart rate and loosening the blood vessel tone,
resulting in severe hypotension
34. Patient supine; lower extremities elevated
Avoid Trendelenburg
Infuse isotonic crystalloid
Maintain body temperature
35. Obstructive shock is a condition that prevents blood
and oxygen from getting to organs
Something is obstructing or getting in the way of blood
going into and out of the heart or great vessels
Lead to drop in blood pressure and the amount of
blood the heart is able to pump
37. Control airway
Intubation
Treat the underlying cause
Tension Pneumothorax: Chest tube
Pericardial Tamponade: Pericardiocentesis
Pulmonary Embolism: Anticoagulation
Isotonic fluids
38. Falling BP = late sign of shock.
BP is not same thing as perfusion.
Pallor, tachycardia, slow capillary refill =
hypo perfusion, until proven otherwise.
39. Avoid vasopressors until hypovolemia ruled out, or
corrected
Squeezing partially empty tank can cause ischemia,
necrosis of kidney and bowel
