Definition
• Shock is a systemic state of low tissue
perfusion which is inadequate for normal
cellular respiration.
Pathophysiology
1. Low tissue perfusion
2. Insufficient delivery of oxygen and glucose
3. Switch from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism
Shock
Hypotension
Decreased
perfusion to
tissues
Cellular hypoxia
Reversible cellular
injury initially
Cause persists
Irreversible
cellular injury and
cellular death
Cause resolved
Possibility of
recovery
Systemic
Hypoperfusion
Persistence of ischemia
– Activation of the immune and coagulation systems.
– Complement and prime neutrophils activation
– Generation of oxygen free radicals and cytokine
– Injury to capillary endothelial cells- tissue edema &
hypoxia
– Further activation of immune and coagulation
systems (vicious cycle)
Systemic effects of shock
Cardiovascular
Increased sympathetic
activity
Catecholamine
release:
Vasoconstriction
(except in septic
shock) & tachycardia
Respiratory
Increased respiratory
rate
Increased minute
ventilation (respiratory
alkylosis-compensate for
metabolic acidosis)
Renal
Decreased GFR
Decreased U.O.
RAAS activation-
vasoconstriction and Na
& water absorption
Endocrine
RAAS
ADH (hypothalamus)
Cortisol (also help
sensitize cells to effect of
cathecolamine)

Hypovolemic Shock
• Most common
• Reduced circulating volume.
– Hemorrhagic
– Non Hemorrhagic:
• Poor intake
• Excessive loss (vomiting, diarrhea,
urinary loss, Diabetes
Mellitus/Incipidus)
• Burns
Cardiogenic shock
• Primary failure of the heart to pump blood to the
tissues
• Causes:
– Myocardial infarction,
– Cardiac dysrhythmias,
– Valvular heart disease,
– Blunt myocardial injury
– Cardiomyopathy.
– Endogenous factors (e.g. bacterial and humoral agents
released in sepsis)
– Exogenous factors, such as pharmaceutical agents or
drug abuse.
Obstructive shock
• Reduced filling of the left and/or right
sides of the heart
– Mechanical obstruction
• Decreased preload
• Fall in cardiac output.
• Causes:
– Cardiac tamponade
– Tension pneumothorax
– Massive pulmonary embolus or air
embolus
Distributive shock
• Inadequate organ perfusion is accompanied by
vascular dilatation with hypotension,
• Low systemic vascular resistance, inadequate
after-load and
• Abnormally high cardiac output.
• Causes:
– Septic shock (bacterial endotoxin)
– Anaphylaxis (histamine release)
– Spinal cord injury. (failure of sympathetic outflow and
adequate vascular tone)
Endocrine
• Combination of hypovolemic, cardiogenic or
distributive shock
• Causes
– Hypo- and hyperthyroidism
– Adrenal insufficiency.
Staging and Grading of Shock
Stages of shock
1. Pre shock: (warm shock/ compensated
shock), all insults being successfully
compensated by body
2. Shock: no compensations and appearance of
clinical features
3. End organ dysfunction: irreversible organ
damage and loss of function
Compensated Mild Moderate Severe
Blood loss 0-15% 15-30% 30-40% >40%
Level of
consciousness
Normal Mild anxiety Drowsy, mild
confusion

pressure)
Urine output Normal Normal Reduced
(<.0.5mL/kg/hr
Anuric
Lactic Acidosis + ++ ++ +++
Compensated shock
• Decreased flow to non essential organs.
• Aims to preserve preload and flow to essential organs
– Lungs
– Brain
– Kidney
• Tachycardia and cool extremities
• Clinically occult
– leads to multiple organ failure and death if prolonged due to the
ischaemia–reperfusion effect
Ischaemia–reperfusion syndrome
• Cellular injury occurs once normal circulation is
restored to hypoperfused tissues.
• Acid and potassium load
– direct myocardial depression
– vascular dilatation
• Cellular and humoral elements activated by the
hypoxia (complement, neutrophils, microvascular
thrombi) are flushed back into the circulation where
they cause further endothelial injury (sp kidney and
lungs)
• Prevent by reducing the extend and duration of tissue
hypoperfusion.
hypotension
Decompensation
• BP falls usually when 30-40% of circulating
volume has been lost
• Upto 15% loss can be compensated well.
Consequences of shock
Unresuscitatable shock
• Ability of the body to
compensate is lost.
• myocardial depression and loss
of responsiveness to fluid or
inotropic therapy
• loss of the ability to maintain
systemic vascular resistance
• Death is the inevitable result.
Multiple organ failure
• Multiple organ failure is defined as
two or more failed organ systems
• Lung: Acute respiratory distress
syndrome
• Kidney: Acute liver insufficiency
• Clotting: Coagulopathy
• Cardiac: Cardiovascular failure
• NO SPECIFIC TREATMENT, ONLY
SUPPORTIVE OR PREVENTIVE
• 60% mortality
Management
• 3 goals for treatment of the patient with
hypovolemic shock:
1. Maximize oxygen delivery - completed by ensuring
adequacy of ventilation, increasing oxygen
saturation of the blood, and restoring blood flow
2. Control further blood loss
3. Fluid resuscitation
Maximize Oxygen delivery
• Assessed immediately upon
arrival and stabilized if
necessary
– Airway, Breathing:
• Depth and rate of respirations,
breath sounds
– Address immediate causes
• pneumothorax, hemothorax,
flail chest, cardiac tamponade
etc.
– High-flow supplemental
oxygen
– Ventilatory support
Circulation
• Two large-bore IV lines:
– IV access
• Antecubital veins
• Venous cutdown
• Central line
– Intraosseous access for
hypotensive children younger than
6 years.
– Arterial line for patients with
severe hemorrhage.
Initial fluid resuscitation
– Isotonic crystalloid
• Normal saline
• Ringer lactate solution
• Initial bolus of 1-2 L is
given in an adult
• 20 mL/kg in a pediatric
patient
• In total, 250–500 mL of
fluid is rapidly given (over
5–10 minutes)
Maintainance fluid ( if resuscitation
succeeds)
• (4-2-1 rule)
– 4 mL/kg for 1st 10 kg (0-10kg)
– 2 mL/kg for 2nd 10 kg (11-20kg)
– 1 mL/kg for >20kg
Monitoring patients in shock
• Required parameters
– ECG
– Pulse oximetry
– Blood Pressure
– Urine output
• Additional monitoring
– Central Venous
Pressure
– Invasive Blood
Pressure
– Cardiac Output
– Base Deficit
– Serum Lactate
Dynamic fluid response
• Responders:
– improvement in their cardiovascular status
which is sustained.
– Not actively loosing blood
• Transient responders
– improvement which then reverts to the
previous state over the next 10–20 minutes.
– Moderate ongoing fluid losses.
• Non-responders
– severely volume depleted ,likely to have
major ongoing loss of intravascular volume,
persistent uncontrolled haemorrhage
• Initial resuscitation requires rapid re-
expansion of the circulating intravascular
blood volume along with interventions to
control on going losses.
• Starling’s law: stroke volume and cardiac
output rise with the increase in preload.
• If in doubt about cause assume to be
hypovolemic and treat.
Controlling further blood loss
• Identify source of
bleeding and
manage.
– Assess if surgical
intervention is
required
• In trauma cases
– Resuscitation and surgery
should be simultaneous e.g
(tractions for long bone #)
• In surgical cases fluid
resuscitate and then
operate.(if not inflammatory
response is exacerbated)
• PRBCs should be transfused if the patient remains
unstable after 2000 mL of crystalloid resuscitation.
• Administer 2 U rapidly, and assess response.
• Acute situations, O-negative non-crossmatched blood
can be considered.
• FFP used when the patient shows signs of
coagulopathy.
Resuscitation
• Crystalloids are the first fluid of choice for
resuscitation.
– Initial therapy with 2 L of isotonic sodium chloride
solution or lactated Ringer’s solution
• Each liter of fluid expands the blood volume
by 20-30%; (1:3 Crystalloid)
– E.g: 3 L of fluid need to be administered to raise
the intravascular volume by 1 L.
• Colloids restore volume in a 1:1 ratio.
– Human albumin
– hydroxy-ethyl starch products (mixed in either
0.9% isotonic sodium chloride solution or lactated
Ringer’s solution)
– Hypertonic saline-dextran combinations.
• Maintenance of the pulmonary hydrostatic
pressure at less than 15 mm for preventing
pulmonary edema.
• Current recommendations are for aggressive
fluid resuscitation with lactated Ringer
solution or normal saline in all patients with
signs and symptoms of shock, regardless of
underlying cause
Vasopressor and inotropic support
• Not indicated as first line.
• in the absence of adequate preload rapidly
leads to decreased coronary perfusion and
depletion of myocardial oxygen reserves.
• Cardiogenic Shock- dobutamine
• Distributive shock:
– phenylephrine,noradrenaline
– Vasopressin for resistant catecholamines
• In uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock (UCHS), in
which the bleeding has temporarily stopped
because of hypotension, vasoconstriction, and
clot formation, fluid treatment is aimed at:
– Restoration of radial pulse
– Restoration of sensorium
– Obtaining a blood pressure of 80 mm Hg by aliquots
of 250 mL of lactated Ringer's solution (hypotensive
resuscitation).
