SHOCK Objectives: At the completion of this section, the learner will be able to: Define shock Differentiate the signs of compensatory shock from decompensatory shock List the three forms of distributive shock The CEN exam contains nine questions on shock which involve the followin ... g topics: Cardiogenic shock Distributive shock (e.g. anaphylactic, septic, neurogenic shock) Hypovolemic Obstructive (e.g. pericardial tamponade, tension pneumothorax) Shock (not specific) Shock (lack of oxygen to the tissues) o Hypovolemic shock – Decreased cellular perfusion secondary to lack of circulating volume o Cardiogenic shock – Decreased cellular perfusion secondary to failure of the central pump o Distributive shock – Decreased cellular perfusion secondary to maldistribution of the oxygen to the periphery o Obstructive shock – Decreased cellular perfusion secondary to obstruction of blood into or out of the ventricles (e.g. pulmonary embolism, pericardial tamponade, tension pneumothorax) Obstructive shock Type of obstruction Treatment Pregnancy Roll the patient to her side Tension pneumothorax Chest tube/needle decompression Cardiac tamponade Pericardiocentesis Pulmonary embolism Thrombolytics Aortic aneurysm Surgical intervention Aortic stenosis Surgical intervention Excessive positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) Readjust ventilator settings Hypovolemic shock o Early (compensatory) shock Sympathetic nervous system (adrenergic system) Parasympathetic nervous system (cholinergic system) Alpha receptors Vasoconstriction Glucogeonolysis Diaphoresis Vasodilation Gluconeogenesis Dry skin Beta-one receptors heart rate contractility automaticity heart rate contractility automaticity Beta-two receptors respiratory rate Bronchodilation respiratory rate Bronchoconstriction [Show More]
