Shock Definition It is a condition produced by inability of the circulatory system to adequately nourish tissues or remove toxic metabolites. It is a condition of profound hemodynamic and metabolic disturbance characterized by failure of the circulatory system to maintain an appropriate blood supply to the microcirculation with consequent inadequate perfusion of vital organs. An acute medical condition associated with a fall in blood pressure , caused by such events as loss of blood , severe burns , allergic reaction , or sudden emotional stress , and marked by cold, pallid skin, irregular breathing, rapid pulse, and dilated pupils.

Shock definition contd.. A condition of acute peripheral circulatory failure due to derangement of circulatory control or loss of circulating fluid, marked by hypotension and coldness of the skin , and often by tachycardia and anxiety if untreated cab be fatal. A life threatening medical condition of low blood perfusion to tissues resulting in cellular injury and inadequate tissue function , typical signs being low blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and signs of poor end-organ perfusion.

History contd.. First intravenous fluid therapy in 1830 by Herman for cholera Gross was the first to define the shock as Manifestation of a “rude unhinging of the machinery of life” Crile was the first to do blood transfusion on 1900 Later A lexis Carrel went on to study about blood group

Shock is not a disease itself, its constellations of manifestations of various diseases and conditions. Sabiston textbook of surgery 17th ed “Transitions between a illness and death”

Obstructive shock Definition Form of shock associated with physical obstruction of the great vessels or the heart itself causing the decreased blood supply and various manifestation leading progressively to multi-organ failure and ultimately death if not dealt properly. Pulmonary embolism Cardiac tamponade Tension pneumothorax Most common causes
Obstructive shock Obstructive shock has much in common with cardiogenic shock , and the two are frequently grouped together. Some sources do not recognize obstructive shock as a distinct category, and categorize pulmonary embolism and cardiac tamponade under cardiogenic shock. Except for management of the underlying individual pathology the obstructive shock is similar to cardiogenic shock wikipedia Sabiston textbook of surgery 17th ed
Cardiogenic shock Life-threatening medical condition resulting from an inadequate circulation of blood due to primary failure of the ventricles of the heart to function effectively Characterized by systemic hypo perfusion due to severe depression of the cardiac index [<2.2 (L/min)/m 2 ] and sustained systolic arterial hypotension (<90 mmHg) despite an elevated filling pressure [ pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) >18 mmHg ]. Ciculatory shock Insufficient perfusion of tissue to meet the demands for oxygen and nutrients

Septic shock & SIRS SIRS stand for “Systemic Inflammatory response syndrome ” Definition An exaggerated and generalized manifestation of a local immune or inflammatory reaction and is often fatal. Hyper metabolic state with two or more sign of systemic inflammation , such as fever, tachycardia, leukocytosis or leukopenia in a setting of known cause of inflammation . An inflammatory state affecting the whole body , frequently a response of the immune system to infection , but not necessarily so, sometimes can be non-infectious.

Septic shock & SIRS pathophysiology Most cases triggered by bacteria or fungi not causing systemic disease in immunocompetent hosts Some microbial pathogens, in contrast, can circumvent innate defenses because (1 ) lack molecules that can be recognized by host receptors ( 2) elaborate toxins or other virulence factors In both cases, the body can mount a vigorous inflammatory reaction resulting in severe sepsis yet fails to kill the invaders Septic response may also be induced by microbial exotoxins that act as superantigens (e.g ., toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 ) as well as by many pathogenic viruses .

Neurogenic shock Distributive type of shock resulting in low blood pressure , occasionally with a slowed heart rate , that is attributed to the disruption of the autonomic pathways within the spinal cord . Low blood pressure due to decreased systemic vascular resistance results in pooling of blood within the extremities lacking sympathetic tone . The slowed heart rate results from unopposed vagal activity and has been found to be exacerbated by hypoxia and endo bronchial suction.
Neurogenic shock Peripheral pooling of blood makes less blood available for tissue perfusion, decreased venous return causing decreased cardiac output . Neurogenic shock can be a potentially devastating complication, leading to organ dysfunction and death if not promptly recognized and treated It is not to be confused with spinal shock , which is not circulatory in nature .
Neurogenic shock etiology Blunt or penetrating trauma/injury to the spinal cord Rotation, dislocation, over- flexion/extension of the spinal cord. Motor vehicle accidents Sports injuries Falls, stab and gunshot wounds. Improper administration of regional anesthesia Drugs and medications which affect the autonomic nervous system can also cause neurogenic shock
Neurogenic shock clinical signs and symptoms Hypotension Bradycardia Hypothermia Difficulty in breathing and has rapid and deep shallow breathing. The skin feels warm to touch in contrast to hypovolemic and cardiogenic Facial pallor Dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting Nausea and vomiting
Neurogenic shock clinical signs and symptoms Faint and rapid pulse. Patient experiences weakness due to insufficient blood supply. Patient stares blankly at nothing. Feels anxious and there can be changes in mental state or disorientation. Does not respond to any stimuli. Has bluish discoloration of lips and fingers (cyanosis). Decreased or absent urine output. Sweats profusely. Considerable chest pain. Loss of consciousness.
Neurogenic shock diagnosis Complete physical examination and medical history Key to the diagnosis Various tests Blood Urine tests Imaging CT scan MRI scan X-rays Ultrasound Carried out to assess the patient's medical condition and the extent of injury or damage.
Neurogenic shock management protocol Assessment of general condition Stabilize the patient and prevent any irreversible tissue damage including revival of the patient Simultaneus resuscitation Airway pattern Breathing including the circulation Spinal immobilization is must Arterial blood pressure, through administration of IV fluids to restore the mean pressure Inotrophics Dopamine D obutamine Other inotropic agents may be infused in case of inadequate fluid resuscitation
Neurogenic shock management protocol Severe bradycardia IV infusion of atropine given 0.5mg to 1 mg every 5 minutes for a total dosage of 3.0 mg a pacemaker if necessary High dosage of methylprednisolone within 8 hours following the onset of neurogenic shock in cases where neurological deficit has already been present. Vitals stable Immediately transfer the patient to neuro tertiary unit for definitive management to prevent the permanent neurological deficit Rehabilitation of the patients who have permanent disability
Anaphylactic shock A widespread and very serious allergic reaction with symptoms including dizziness, loss of consciousness, labored breathing, swelling of the tongue and breathing tubes, blueness of the skin, low blood pressure, heart failure, and death . Is a systemic , type I hypersensitivity reaction that often has fatal consequences . Caused by a runaway histamine response to an allergic reaction F oreign matter of any type penetrates the skin, mucous membranes, or digestive system histamine Increased blood to affected area Swelling from edema and inflammation Restricts blood flow to the affected area Protective action Protective action Mosquito bite Bee sting Normally
Anaphylactic shock In some individuals the histamine response is triggered by substances that are not inherently harmful to the human body Normal histamine response is atypically aggressive Causing the normal symptoms associated with a histamine response to be somewhat more severe A llergy Mostly it is only annoying not distressing In some causes acutely distressing symptoms Anaphylacsis Anaphylactic shock
