OVERVIEW Definition. Physiology . Pathophysiology . Types of shock. Approach to a shock patient.
Why do we need to know about shock?? SHOCK IS MOST COMMON AND MOST IMPORTANT CAUSE OF DEATH IN SURGICAL PATIENTS.
DEFINITION Shock is a systemic state of low tissue perfusion that is inadequate for normal cellular respiration.
PHYSIOLOGY Cell is the structural and functional unit of the body. For the functioning of cell - oxygen and glucose is required. Perfusion depends on – pump , vessels, Volume .
Pathophysiology
Cellular : metabolic acidosis due to anaerobic metabolism. Cell lysis due to auto Digestive enzymes by lysosomes . Microvascular : damage of endothelium due to OFR. Systemic : CVS : baroreceptors - catecholamines . RS : Compensatory Respiratory alkalosis to MA. Renal : RAAS - sodium and water reabsorption . ENDOCRINE : ADH -Na and water reabsorpbed CORTISOL.
Hypovolemic shock NON HAEMORRHAGIC CAUSES Git : diarrhea,Vomiting,fistula,biliary loss,ng suction. Renal : Dm,diuretics,osmotics,Renal failure. Skin : intense effort,heat stroke,burns. Third space : peritonitis,obstruction,Ascites, pancreatitis,effusions.
2. HAEMORRHAGIC CAUSES Wounds Hemetemesis , melena , hemoptysis , epistaxis . Hemothorax,hemoperitoneum . Fluid loss is absolute or relative( third space loss).
MANAGEMENT Airway - secure. Breathing - oxygen supply. Circulation. Secure iv access by 2 short and wide bore 18G green cannulas . Warm crystalloids - 1L of RL/NS @20ml/kg. Dynamic fluid response is observed and categorized into : Responders. Transient responders. Non responders.
BLOOD Crash 2 trial (BP<90 mmhg ; PR >110/ min) - 1gm tranexamic acid in 10 mins followed by 1gm in 8 hrs. Monitor for Acute traumatic coagulopathy -avoid crystalloids due to risk of dilutional coagulopathy - so give blood. Blood group O negative for reproductive females and O positive for males and post reproductive females. Balanced resuscitation ( 1:1:1 prbc : plt : plasma). Permissible hypotension(70-90) maintained to prevent rebleeding and hypoxia. Massive transfusion protocol ( >10u in 24hrs or >4 units in a hour ). Replacement of clotting factors if required.
STOP BLEEDING External - pressure, splinting, binders,tourniquet . Internal - identify the source of bleeding before landing into lethal triad - prevented and managed by DCS.
Poor prognostic factors Advanced age. Immunosuppression. Resistant organism. Level of IL-6. Need for inotropes >24 hrs. Mods despite Treatment.
Markers of sepsis Procalcitonin a. Value of >2.0 IU/ml suggests severe sepsis. b. Best marker of sepsis. c. Best guide of antibiotic treatment. CRP. - highly sensitive.
qSOFA Score : quick sequential organ failure assessment score. A. Respiratory rate - > 22 / min. B. Confused mental status. C. BP - < 100 mmhg . A score of >2 suggests poor outcome.
SURVIVING SEPSIS GUIDELINES : Parameters to be met in first 6 hrs. CVP - 8 to 12. MAP - >/= 65 mmhg . URINE OUTPUT - >/= O.5 ml/kg/hr. MVOS - 65%. SVC Oxygen saturation - 70%.
Prevention Early recognition. Prompt treatment of infection. Meticulous surgical technique. Pre-op antibiotics. Aseptic techniques. Sterilization of equipment.
NEUROGENIC SHOCK
Causes High cervical spinal cord injury. Cephalad migration of spinal anesthesia . Deep GA (Depress vasomotor tone). Head injury.
Hypothyroidism - decrease cardiac output - levothyroxine . Hyperthyroidism - reversible cardiomyopathy - methimazole,ptu . Acute adrenal insufficiency - steroids. A. Not tapered. B. Surgery for pt on corticosteroid.
ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK
Management EPINEPHRINE : alpha1 ( vc ) , beta1 ( sbp ) , beta2 (BD). IM>> SC. 0.5 ml of 1 : 1000 solution. I.V ( 1: 10000) in non responsive shock. STEROIDS. DIPHENHYDRAMINE. NEBULIZED BRONCHODILATORS.

Parameters of shock Shock index - HR/SBP Indicates severity of shock. Aka hemodynamic stability indicator. >0.9 suggests decompensated Shock. 2. Modified Shock index - HR/MAP High - hypovolemic,cardiogenic,septic . Low - neurogenic . 3. ROPE - Pulse rate over pressure evaluation - PR/PP. >3 Suggests decompensated Shock.
URINE OUTPUT Best clinical indicator of tissue perfusion. Best indicator of fluid resuscitation. Normal values : Adults - >0.5 ml/kg/hr. Children - >1 ml/kg/hr.
CENTRAL VENOUS PRESSURE Normal value - 0 to 8. Measured by cvc and a manometer or transducer. fluid bolus (250 to 500 mL ) is infused rapidly over 5–10 minutes and cvp measured - increase of 2 to 5 cmh2o and becomes normal in 10 to 20 mins . A. No change - further resuscitation is required. B. Increased - implies cardiac insufficiency or overload. Best method to calculate amount of fluid to be given.
Base deficit Amount of base required to titrate a litre of whole arterial blood to a ph of 7.4. Normal value is -2 to +2 meq/l. Value below -2 suggests metabolic acidosis. Value above +2 suggests metabolic alkalosis.
Serum Lactate Best lab value to monitor tissue perfusion. Normal lactate value is 0.5 to 1 mmol/l. Value of <2 ~ good resuscitation. Value of >5 ~ bad resuscitation. Best to look for git and muscle perfusion.
Mixed venous oxygen saturation The percentage saturation of oxygen returning to the heart from the body is a measure of the oxygen delivery and extraction by the tissues. Measured in blood drawn from Central lines in right atrium or SVC. Normal range - 50 to 70 %. Low Mvos - hypovolemic and cardiogenic shocks. High Mvos - septic and neurogenic.
