Shock and Burns

NURS 2140
Shock
• Life threatening
• Inadequate tissue perfusion that can lead
to cell death
• Unpredictable
• Definition: condition in which tissue
perfusion is inadequate to deliver oxygen
and nutrients to support vital organs and
cellular function.
Causes
• Death is not a classified as shock but as
multiple organ dysfunction.
Circulatory Homeostasis
Tissue perfusion is driven by blood pressure
BP = CO X PVR
CO – Cardiac Output
PVR – Peripheral Vascular resistance
Cardiac Output
CO = SV X HR
This means that
BP= SV X HR X PVR
Blood Pressure = Stroke Volume X Heart Rate X Peripheral Vascular Resistance
Stroke Volume
• Volume of Blood pumped by the heart
during 1 cycle
What affects Stroke volume?
Blood
Volume
Mechanical
Obstruction
Rhythm Problems
Heart
Muscle
Damage
Stroke
Volume
Mechanical
Obstruction
What makes up blood volume
Plasma
RBCs
Platelets
WBCs
Necessary blood flow components
• Adequate cardiac pump
• Effective circulatory system
• Sufficient blood volume
• If one component compromised cell
starvation and death can occur. This in turn
will cause organ death, and end of life of pt.
Heart Rate
• Heart rate increases as a
compensatory response to Shock
• Rarely you get
High Output failure
Heart rate too fast to allow adequate
refilling of heart between beats
What Alters PVR?
• Circulation cytokines & Inflammatory
mediators (e.g. Histamine)
• Endotoxins
• Drugs (e.g. Nitrates)
Nurses must:
•
•
•
•
Be critical thinkers
Be able to act fast
Be able to anticipate orders
Execute orders in a timely yet quickly
manner
Normal cell function
• Metabolism of energy within cell
– Nutrients broken down and stored as ATP
• ATP is used for muscle contraction, active
transport, conduction of electrical
impulses
Patho of Shock
• Cells lack blood supply
• Normal function ceases
• Cell swells and membrane becomes
permeable
– Electrolytes leak out of cell
• Mitochondria become damaged
• Death of cell occurs
Stages
• Compensatory
• Progressive
• Irreversible
Compensatory
• BP WNL
• Body shunts blood from organs in fight or
flight response to the brain and heart
• s/s: cool, clammy, hypoactive bowel sounds,
HR greater than 100, RR greater than 20,
decreased urine output, confusion,
respiratory alkalosis, Na+ is elevated, BGM is
elevated
• If treated here, prognosis good
• Tx: find cause and fix, IVF, monitor vs,
monitor LOC, monitor I/O, promote safety
Pathophysiological Response
• “Flight or fight response”
• Increased Catecholamine release
• Activation of Renin-Angiotensin system
• Increase glucocorticoid and
mineralcorticoid release
• Activation of Sympathetic nervous system
• In stress situations:
– catecholamines, cortisol, glucagons, etc are
released
• Causes hyperglycemia
• Causes insulin resistance
• Promotes gluconeogenesis from proteins and fats
All this leads to organ failure in the end
Progressive
• s/s: Hypotension <90/40, interstitial edema, rapid/shallow
respirations, crackles, desats, pulmonary edema,
dysrhythmias, ischemia, tachycardic, chest pain, agitation,
confusion, low U.O. , lethargic, jaundice, bloody diarrhea,
metabolic acidosis, mottled, petechiae
– Leads to ards
– MI is possible
– DIC may occur
• Overworked heart causes ischemia and myocardial depression
leading to heart failure
• Prognosis worsens
• DX: BNP, CMP, CBC, ABG
• TX: mechanical vent, enteral support, Insulin, careful
assessments, ICU, Neuro checks, balloon pump, meds,
dialysis, infection prevention, family support
Irreversible
• Organ damage severe
• Death imminent
• s/s: low BP, necrosis to liver and kidneys,
respiratory system fails even on vent,
unresponsive
• Dx: based on failure to respond to tx
• Tx: palliative care, experimental tx,
monitor pt, provide comfort, pastoral care
Treatment of Shock
• IVF and or blood products
• Blood if related to this
• LR or NS
• Intial amount 2-3 liters for an adult with unknown cause
• Monitor client closely
• Beta and alpha adrenergic receptors
– NIPRIDE, levaphed, vasopressin
• Pain management
• Sympathomimetics
– Dopamine, dobutamine, adrenalin, milrinone,
amrinone
• Nutritional support
– Parenteral or enteral

5 types
•
•
•
•
•
Hypovolemic
Cardiogenic
Septic
Neurogenic
Anaphylactic
HYPOVOLEMIC
Hypovolemic Shock Caused by Body Fluid Loss
Site of Fluid Loss
Mechanism of Loss
Skin
Thermal or chemical burn, sweating
from excessive heat exposure
GI tract
Vomiting or diarrhea
Kidneys
Diabetes mellitus or insipidus, adrenal
insufficiency, “salt-losing” nephritis,
the polyuric phase after acute tubular
damage, and use of potent diuretics
Intravascular fluid lost to the
extravascular space
Increased capillary permeability
secondary to inflammation or traumatic
injury (eg, crush), anoxia, cardiac
arrest, sepsis, bowel ischemia, acute
pancreatitis
Causes
• External fluid loss
–

Trauma
Surgery
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Diuresis
Diabetes insipidus
• Internal fluid shift

Burns
Hemorrhage
Ascites
Peritonitis
Dehydration
Treatment
• Treat underlying cause
• Replace fluid and/or blood
• Place in modified tredelenburg (legs
elevated)
• Meds depending on cause
• Blood
• Oxygen
CARDIOGENIC
• Impaired oxygen
• 2 types: coronary and non coronary
– Coronary: LV damage, MI=greatest risk
– Non-coronary: Stress on myocardium (heart
disease, acidosis, etc.)
– Manifestations: angina, dysrythmia
– Dx: cardiac enzymes, ekgs,
– Tx: correct underlying cause, O2, pain control,
IVF, balloon pump, ICU, CABG, nitro,
dobutamine, dopamine, levophed,
antiarrythmics, vent
Mechanisms of Cardiogenic and Obstructive Shock
Type
Mechanism
Obstructive
Mechanical interference Tension pneumothorax,
with ventricular filling cava compression,
cardiac tamponade,
atrial tumor or clot
Cardiogenic
Cause
Interference with
ventricular emptying
Pulmonary embolism
Impaired myocardial
contractility
Myocardial ischemia or
MI, myocarditis, drugs
Abnormalities of cardiac Tachycardia,
rhythm
bradycardia
Cardiac structural
disorder
Acute mitral or aortic
regurgitation, ruptured
interventricular septum,
prosthetic valve
malfunction
Circulatory shockaka Distributive
• Occurs with abnormally placed blood
volume
• 3 types
– Septic
– Neurogenic
– anaphylactic
SEPTIC
Management
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Antibiotics
rhAPC
Aggressive nutritional support
Aseptic technique for procedures
Monitor IV lines, indwelling lines, and
wounds
Monitor LOC
Monitor vs—keep temp in check
IVF
Vasoactive agents like other shocks
NEUROGENIC
• Vasodilatation occurs
– Results of balance loss b/w sympathetic and
parasympathetic stimulation
• Sympathetic: vascular smooth muscles constrict
• Parasympathetic: causes smooth muscle to relax or
dilate
• In neurogenic shock, the lean is to
parasympathetic
ANAPHYLACTIC
•
•
•
•
Occurs rapidly
Life threatening
Caused by severe allergic reaction
Tx: remove agent, antihistamine,
epinephrine, nebulizers, CPR, intubate,
IVF, assess allergies, educate about meds
and treatment if exposure

– Example: sunburn
Deep partial thickness
• Destruction of epidermis and upper
dermis
• Injury to deeper portions of dermis
• s/s: painful wound that appears red and
exudes fluid…cap refill follows tissue
blanching
• Hair follicles are intact
• May result in scars

Classifying Burns
•
•
•
•
•
How did injury occur
Causative agentscald or chemical
Temp of burn agent
Duration of contact
Thickness of skin
Rules of nine
Lund Browdner Formula
Parkland Formula
•
Parkland Burn Formula: 4 cc. per kg. body weight per % deep burn during
the first 24 hours
1. To calculate: multiply 4 X kg. X % burn ˜ total fluid requirement
2. Give half of this amount during the first 8 hours from the time of
injury
3. In most cases, this will work out to 2 large bore IV’s wide open until
hospital arrival
a. Monitor and record the exact amounts given, and provide hospital
personnel with this information
4. Lactated Ringer’s is the preferred fluid, if available
•
Electrical Burns
• Worst to get
• Will cause lifelong neurovascular problems
• High voltage (>1000 volts) cause bone and
tissue destruction
– Leads to amputations and death
• There is usually an entrance and exit wound
– Travels from least resistance to ground
• Clothes catch fire
