DEFINITION OF SHOCK Shock is a systemic state of low tissue perfusion, which is inadequate for normal cellular respiration. Shock is not synonymous to hypotension.
Stages of Shock A progressive process: Intervene early Compensated Shock ( nonprogressive stage) Cardiac output (HR x SV) and systemic vascular resistance (peripheral vasoconstriction) work to keep BP within normal by reflex compensatory mechanism. On exam: Tachycardia; decreased pulses & cool extremities in cold shock; flushing and bounding pulses in warm shock; oliguria ; labs may show mild lactic acidosis
Stages of shock . . . Progressive(Uncompensated)stage : Compensatory mechanisms are overwhelmed. Widespread hypoxia. Hypotensive shock. On exam: As above, plus hypotension, altered mental status; decreased urine output, labs may show increased lactic acidosis Generally quick progression to cardiac arrest.
Stages of shock . . . Irreversible stage : Widespread cellular injury. Release of lysosomal enzymes, worsened cardiac contractility. Irreversible organ damage, death.
CLASSIFICATION OF SHOCK A- Classification of Shock by Causes ( 1) Hypovolemic shock Loss of fluid ( 2) Cardiogenic shock Pump failure (3)Distributive shock - Neurogenic shock -Anaphylactic shock IgE mediated - Septic shock Sepsis
B . Classification of Shock according to hemodynamic changes : ⑴ Hypodynamic Shock: Cardiac Output , Vascular Resistace , Cold Skin; ⑵ Hyperdynamic Shock: Cardiac Output , Vascular Resistace , Warm Skin;

SEPTIC SHOCK This type of shock is due to infection/sepsis. Any focus of infection can cause infection. -Gastrointestinal -Genitourinary -oral -skin.
Pathogenesis of Sepsis
Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) • Systemic inflammatory response to a variety of severe clinical insults manifested by 2 or more of the following conditions • Temperature >38.5ºC or <35ºC • Heart rate >90 beats/min • Respiratory rate >20 breaths/min or PaCO2, <32 torr (<4.3 kPa ) • White blood count >12,000 cells/mm3, <4000 cells/mm3, or >10% immature (band) cells
Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) • Progressive distant organ failure (initially uninvolved) following severe infectious or noninfectious insults (severe burn, multiple trauma, shock, acute pancreatitis)
Signs: Early – warm with vasodilation (hyper dynamic circulation), often adequate urine output , fever and tachypnea . Late- - vasoconstriction, ( hypodynamic circulation). hypotension , oliguria , altered mental status
LABORATORY FINDINGS Early : hyperglycemia, respiratory alkalosis, hemoconcentration , WBC typically normal or low. Late : Leukocytosis , lactic acidosis VeryLate : Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation & Multi-Organ System Failure
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
ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK This type occurs due to binding of a foreign antigen to immunoglobin E (IGE) on the mast cells and basophils , releasing large amounts of histamine and SRS-A ( slow-release substance-anaphylaxis ) which will produce bronchospasm , laryngeal edema and respiratory distress with hypoxia , massive vasodilatation hypotension and shock . This type occurs on exposure to penicillin , anesthetic drugs , serum injections and stings .
