DEFINITION
Shock is a multifactorial syndrome leading to systemic and localized tissue hypoperfusion and resulting in cellular hypoxia and multiple organ dysfunction
DESCRIPTION
Perfusion may be decreased systemacally with obvious signs such as hypotension
Perfusion may be decreased because of maldistribution as in septic shock where systemic perfusion may appear elevated
DESCRIPTION
Prognosis is determined by
degree of shock, duration of shock, number of organ affected, previous organ dysfunction and possibly some genetic predispositition
CLASSIFICATION OF SHOCK
1. 2. 3. 4. Hypovolemic shock Obstructive shock Cardiogenic shock Distributive shock
HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK
HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK
Loss of circulating intravascular volume and decrease in cardiac preload
May be from hemorrhage : trauma, gastrointestinal bleeding, nontraumatic internal bleeding (aneurysm, ectopic rupture), vaginal bleeding
HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK
May be from nonhemorrhagic fluid loss from;
gastrointestinal tract (vomiting, diarrhea, fistula), urinary loss (hyperglycemia with glucosuria), evaporative loss (fever, hyperthermia) intestinal fluid shifts (third spacing as with a bowel obstruction)
Clinical sign
Depend on volume lost
Symptoms include: tachycardia, hypotension, decreased urine output, mental status changes, tachypnea

DIAGNOSIS
VITAL SIGN.
Heart rate Blood pressure TemSperature Urine output Pulse oxymetri
Patient with normal or near normal signs, 50-85% are still in shock
TEMPERATURE
Hyperthermia, normothermia, hypothermia may be present in shock.
Hypothermia is a sign of severe hypovolemic and septic shock
URINE OUTPUT
Early guide of hypovolemia and end organ response (renal) to shock.
This is a delayed vital sign because 1 to 2 hours are needed to obtain an acurate measure
PULSE OXIMETRY
Continuously measured and early indicator of hypoxemia but may be invalid in hypothermic patients
1. Arterial catheters 2. Central venous catheters (CVc) 3. Pulmonary arterial catheters (PAc)
Cardiac output (CO) or Cardiac index (CI) reflect cardiac function and can be directly measured by a PAC.
Optimizing CI can be increased by increasing preload , increasing contractility or decreasing afterload

TREATMENT
Rapid recognition and restoration of perfusion is the key to preventing multiple organ dysfunction and death.
In all forms of shock, rapid restoration of preload with infusion of fluids is the first treatment
TREATMENT
Crystalloid is first infused and then blood is infused if shock is secondary to hemorrhage.
Early diagnosis of the etiology is essential and further treatment of the shock depends on its etiology.
Basic management
The initial therapy of choice: replacement of intravascular volume. Physical examination may provide valuable information about the intravascular volume status (clear lung field and flat neck vein suggest a need for additional fluid resuscitation in the hypotensive patient).
