SHOCK
Objectives: at the end of this
lecture you would be able to :
1-define shock
2-recognize types of shock and their causes
3-correlate pathophysiologicchanges with
clinical features .
4-know the broad lines of monitoring and
treatment of shock patients .
Shock
A physiological state characterized
by a significant, systemic reduction
in tissue perfusion, resulting in
decreased tissue oxygen delivery and
insufficient removal of cellular
metabolic products, resulting in
tissue injury.
Shock is not a synonym to hypotension!

Classification of Shock
A-Classification of Shock by Causes
(1) Hypovolemicshock
(2) Cardiogenicshock
(3) Neurogenicshock
(4) Anaphylactic shock
(5) Septic shock
B. Classification of Shock according to
hemodynamic changes:
⑴HypodynamicShock: Cardiac Output ,
Vascular Resistace,
Cold Skin;
⑵HyperdynamicShock: Cardiac Output ,

TRUE OR FALSE ?
The earliest sign of hypovolemic
shock is hypotension .
TRUE OR FALSE
In early stage of hypovolemic
shock the skin would be warm
due to vaso-dilation .
Septic/InflammatoryShock
This type is due to infection/sepsis: G(-/+ )
speticemia, pneumonia, peritonitis, meningitis,
cholangitis, pyelonephritis, necrotic tissue,
pancreatitis, wet gangrene, toxic shock
syndrome, etc.
Mechanism:
It is due to release of inflammatory mediators
which leads to
1-Disruption of the microvascular endothelium
2-Cutaneous arteriolar dilation and sequestration
of blood in cutaneous venules and small veins
Signs:
Early–warm with vasodilation(hyper dynamic
circulation), often adequate urine output, fever and
tachypnea.
Late--vasoconstriction, hypotension, oliguria,
altered mental status (hypodynamiccirculation).
Findings:
Early: hyperglycemia, respiratory alkalosis,
hemoconcentration, WBC typically normal or low.
Late: Leukocytosis, lactic acidosis
VeryLate:Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation &
Multi-Organ System Failure.
Signs and symptoms : Dyspnea, rales, gallop, low
BP, oliguria
Monitor/findings: CXR pulmonary venous
congestion, elevated CVP, Low CO.
Treatment : this will be according to cause eg
Congestive heart failure CHF–diuretics &
vasodilators +/-pressors.
Left ventricular LV failure –pressors,
decrease afterload, intraaorticballonpump &
ventricular assist device.
Neurogenic Shock
Mechanism: Loss of autonomic innervation
of the cardiovascular system (arterioles,
venules, small veins, including the heart)
Causes:
*Spinal cord injury
*Regional anesthesia
*Drugs
* Neurological disorders
Characterized by loss of vascular
tone & reflexes.
Signs: Hypotension, Bradycardia,
Accompanying Neurological
deficits.
Treatment : IVF, vasoactive
medications if refractory
Anaphylactic shock:
This type occurs due to binding of a foreign
antigen to immunogloinE (IGE) on the
mast cells and basophils, releasing large
amounts of histamineand SRS-A( slow-
release substance-anaphylaxis) which will
produce bronchospasm, laryngeal edema
and respiratory distress with hypoxia ,
massive vasodilatation hypotension and
shock.Thistype occurs on exposure to
penicillin, anestheticdrugs, serum
injectionsand stings.
Monitoring of shock
