SHOCK

INTRODUCTION

Shock is a state in which the oxygen and metabolic demands of


the body are not met by cardiac output. When this process
occur in a single organ, rather than throughout the body,organ
ischemia and infraction ensure.when shock occur more globel
level multiorgan disfunction and failture are the consequences,if
not corrected ultimately leading to death .shock is most often
accompanied by hypotension,termed decompensated shock
.However shock may also occur with normal or elevated blood
pressure.
DEFINITION OF SHOCK
-

• “ Shock is characterised by an adequate tissue perfusion


in which there is insufficient delivery of oxygen and
nutrients to the body’s tissue and inadequate removal of
waste products from the tissues,if untreated,results in cell
death “ -Javed Ansari

• Shock can be best defind as a clinical syndrom that


results from inadequate tissue perfusion creating
an imbalance between the delivery of oxygen and
nutrients needed to support cellular function
- (maier 2015)
ETIOLOGY

 Severe bleeding :- Shock is often caused by due to


loss of blood .Blood loss could be be external or
internal With in a particular organ or system. Greater
the loss of blood ,greater the risk of developing
shock.
 Heart attack :-obstructed blood supply to the
heart and failture of function of the heart can
produce shock
 Severe burns:-Extensive areas of the burned skin
surface can produce shock.
 Loss of fluids:-Excessive loss of body
fluids;Diarrhoea ,vomiting etc. Can produce shock.
ETIOLOGY (conti..)

 Spinal anesthesia
 Severe bacterial infection :-Discharge of toxins
produced by the bacteria into the blood
stream can produce shock
 Pooling of blood or fluid
 Insects bits,vaccines,Environmental agent
,larvas,blood products
TYPES OF SHOCK

1.Cardiogeni 2.Hypovole
c shock mic shock

5.Septic 3.Anaphylac
shock
Shock tic shock

4.Neurological
shock
1.CADIOGENIC SHOCK

 Cardiogenic shock is a result of


failture of the heart to pumb
blood effectively
 A major effect is the back up flow of
blood in to lungs
 Cardiogenic shock is the inability of the
heart to maintain cardiac output
necessary to meet body needs .Extra
strain on heart causes decreased tissue
perfusion.
Causes
 Systolic dysfunction
 Diastolic dysfunction
 Arrhythmias
Structural problems
Causes

CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
 Chest pain
 Decreased cardiac output
 Clammy skin
 Decreased blood pressure
 Dyspnea
 Tachycardia
 Oliguria
 Anxiety or delirium
 Pulmonary embolism
2.HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK

 Hypovolemic shock is an emergency conditions in which


severe blood and fluid loss makes the heart unable to pumb
enough blood to the body
 It occur due to decrease in the circulatory blood volume
resulting from dehydration with loss of fluid volume.
 Inadequate vascular volume leads to decreased venous
return and cardiac output .
Causes
 External loss of blood (eg: Hemorrhage from trauma)
 Internal bleeding
 Massive vasodilation (sepsis)
 Pooling of blood or fluid.
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS

 Decreased cardiac output


 Hypotension
 Ineffective tissue perfusion
 Cool and clammy skin
 Cyanosis
3.ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK

 This type of distraction or disterbance is the result of an immediate


hypersensitivity reactions.
 It is a life threatening condition that requires present interventions.
Causes
 Food allergies (egg,fish,peanutes), Insect strings
 Diagnostic agent
 Biological agent: Blood,Blood products,vaccines
 Drug
Clinical manifestations
 Weak and rapid pulse
 Breathlessness and coughing
 Localized edema
 Skin eruptions
4. NEUROLOGICAL SHOCK

 Neurological shock occurs when dysfunction or injury to the


nervous system can causes extensive dilation of peripheral blood
vessels
Causes
 Spinal anesthesia drug
 Emotional stress
 Spinal injury,pain and dyscomfort of nervous system.
Clinical manifestations
 Hypotension
 Warm and dry skin
 Decreased heart rate
 Loss of reflex activity
5.SEPTIC SHOCK

Septic shock a form of distributers shock, occurs when micoorganisms


invade the body. The primary mechanism of this type of shock is the
maldistribution of blood flow to the tissue
Toxic shock syndrome is an example of gram +ve
shock caused by staphylococcus aureus
Clinical manifestations
• Pyrexia(fever) • Weakness

• Reduced contractility
• Warm and sweaty skin due to vasodilation
• Systemic vasodilation resulting in hypotension
(low blood pressure)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
STAGES OF SHOCK

There are mainly four stages, they are :- 1 . Initial stage


2 . Comensatory stage
3 . Progressive stage

1. Initial stage 4. Irreversible stage

 This is the first stage of shock. During this stage lack of oxygen lead to hypoxia,And this
leading to mitochondria being unable to produce adenosine triphosphate(ATP)
 The cell membrane become damaged ,they became leaky to Extracellular fluid,and cell
Perform anaerobic respiration.
 This causes a build of lactic acid and pyruvic acid,which results in systemic Metabolic
acidosis
2.Compensatory stage

 In this stage blood pressure remains with in the normal limits


 When aterial pressure and tissue perfusion are reduced,Compensatory mechanisms are
activated to maintain tissue perfusion.
 Vasoconstriction,Increased heart rate and increased contractility of heart contribute to
maintaining adequate cardiac output.
 Result from stimulation of sympathetic nervous system and subsequent nervous system and
release of catecholamines(eg:epinephrine,norepinephrine)
 Patient display “Fight and flight response “.
 Reduced blood flow to the kidney activates the rennin-angiotensin aldosteron system
,causing vasoconstriction and sodium and water retention,leading to increased blood
volume and venous return.
 Result of compensatory mechanism cardiac output and tissue perfusion are maintained.
3.Progressive stage

 This stage begins as compensatory mechanism fail to maintain cardiac


output.
 Due to decreased perfusion of cell,sodium ions build up with in ,while
potassium ions leak out
 Tissue become hypoxic because of poor perfusion and lactic acid build
up with in the cells by anaerobic metabolism and this leads to metabolic
acidosis. This acidosis state depress mycardial function.
 Venous pooling and increased capillary permeability
 As the fluid is lost ,blood concentration and viscosity increased.
4.Irreversible stage

 At this stage vital organ damage occur


 As shock progresses organ damage occur as compensatory
mechanism can no longer maintain cardiac output.
 Reduced perfusion damages cell membrane,lysosomal enzymes are
released and energy stores are depleted,possibly leading to death.
 Perfusion to coronary arteries reduced,causing myocardial
depression
 Reduction in cardiac output
 Eventually circulatory and respiratory failure,brain damage will occur
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS OF SHOCK
 Chest pain
 Low blood pressure (Hypotension)
 Feeling anxious ,confused
 Cyanosis
 Profuse sweating

 Cold and clammy skin


 Dizziness or fainting
 Rapid and shallow breathing (Tachypnea)
 Rapid and weak pulse (Trachycardia)
DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION

 Historytaking
 Physical examination
 Blood,urine and sputum cultures
May identity Organism
responsible for septic shock
 Electrocardiography : heart rate
 CT scan
DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION

 Hemodinamic monitoring may reveal characteristic


pattern of intra cardiac pressure and cardiac
output .which are used to guide fluid and drug
management
 Coagulation studies

 Erythrocytic sedimentation
 Echocardiography

 Urine specific gravity


 Chest x-ray
MANAGEMENT

 Early goal directed therapy


 Identify source of infection
 Administer IM epinephrine quickly for patients with septic
shock
 Cardiac monitoring and pulse oximetry
 management of airway,breathing and circulation
 Fluid replacement to restore intravascular volumes
MANAGEMENT (cont..)

 Vasoactive medications:-
- Vasoconstrictors
- Vasodilators
 Nutritional support
 Heart transplantation
 Individualized observations
NURSING MANAGEMENT OF SHOCK

NURSING DIAGNOSIS
 Fluid volume deficit related to vomiting,diarrhoea,high fever.
 Decreased cardiac output
 Ineffective breathing pattern
NURSING GOALS
 Patient will maintain adequate fluid volume
 Patient will achieve adequate cardiac output.
 Patient will maintain effective breathing pattern
NURSING INTERVENTIONS FOR SHOCK

 Restore fluids by the administration of fluids


 Making input and out put chart
 Administration of fluid and medications as prescribed by the physician
 Assess skin and peripheral pulse ,monitoring vital signs ,and frequent
monitoring of blood pressure,monitor dysrrhythmias
 If the ingested drug or food are the cause avoid it
 Monitor blood gas and changes
 Assess presence of angioedema
 Administrator oxygen prescribed,giving proper ventilation,Administrator
epinephrine by inhalar
COMPLICATIONS

Pathological process cause effect on other organs by life threatening


complications. They are:-
 Acute respiratory syndrome
 Acute renal failure
 Diessiminated intravascular coagulation
 Loss of consciousness
 Gastrointestinal complications
 Multiorgan disfunction
 Coma
 Death
PREVENTION

 Primary prevention of shock is an essential focus on nursing


intervention;hypovolemic shock can be prevented In some instance by
closely monitoring patiens who is at risk for Fluid deficit and assisting in
fluid replacement before intravascular volume is depleted
 General nursing measures include safe administration of prescribed fluid
and medications and proper documentation
 Monitoring sign of complications and side effects
 Early reporting
