Shock Basics
Shock Progression
Hypovolemic Shock
Distribute Shock
Septic Shock
100

The hallmark of all forms of shock (What does shock result in on a broad level)

What is decreased tissue perfusion and impaired cellular metabolism?

100

During this stage of shock, changes occur only at the cellular level

What is the initial stage?

100

The primary problem in hypovolemic shock

What is inadequate intravascular volume? 

100

The three subtypes of distributive shock? 

Bonus: The two hallmarks of all distributive shock? 

What is neurogenic, anaphylactic, and septic shock? 

What is vasodilation and relative hypovolemia

100

How many SIRS criteria are needed to meet the definition of SIRS


BONUS: SIRS criteria

What is two or more? 


What is a temperature above 38 or below 36, a heart rate above 90 BPM, a respiratory rate above 20 and a white blood cell count above 20 or less than 4

200

The four major categories of shock

What are hypovolemic, distributive, cardiogenic, and obstructive

200

During this stage, compensatory mechanisms maintain perfusion and oxygenation

What is the compensatory stage? 

200

Examples of absolute volume loss

What is hemorrhage, vomiting, diarrhea, and diuresis? 

200

This type of shock commonly follows cervical or high thoracic spinal cord injuries? 

What is neurogenic shock?

200

SIRS plus this indicates the patient has sepsis

What is a suspected or confirmed infection?

300

Formula that calculates cardiac output

What is CO= HR x SV

300

Increased respiratory rate, tachycardia, agitation, and declining BP occur during this stage. 

What is the progressive stage? 

300

Fluid shifting from the vascular space into tissues is called this?

Bonus: What type of fluid volume loss is this? 

What is third spacing? 


What is relative volume loss (relative hypovolemia) 

300

This medication is the first-line treatment for anaphylactic shock? 

BONUS: Second line treatment for anaphylactic shock?

What is epinephrine? 


What is IV diphenhydramine, famotidine, steroids, and bronchodilators. 

300

The recommended initial fluid bolus for septic patients? 

What is a 30 mL/kg isotonic crystalloid?

400

The minimum MAP needed to adequately perfuse organs

What is 65 mmHG

400

Profound hypotension, hypoxemia, and accumulation of lactate occurs during this stage? 

What is the refractory stage? 

400

In hemorrhagic shock what is the preferred fluid replacement? 

Bonus: Why? 

What is blood? 


What is replacing lost blood restores oxygen carrying capacity? 

400

Histamine released during anaphylaxis causes these two major vascular changes. 

What is vasodilation and increased capillary permeability? 

400

Sepsis Criteria plus this indicates the patient has been become severely septic

What is evidence of organ dysfunction, hypotension, hypoperfusion. 

500

The three factors that infleunce stroke volume

What is preload, afterload, and contractility

500

Increased levels of this laboratory value indicate tissues have switched to anerobic metabolism

What is lactate? 

500

Before administering vasopressors in hypovolemic shock, you must first do this

What is restore volume? 

500

This type of shock presents with bradycardia.

What is neurogenic shock?

500

Three primary physiologic effects of septic shock

What is vasodilation, maldistributed blood flow, and myocardial depression.
