  1. Shock William Lawson, MD Division of Allergy, Pulmonary, and Critical Care Medicine

  2. Outline for Today • Definition • Ramifications • Physiologic determinants • Classification • Approach to the patient with shock • Treatment strategies

  3. Definition • Shock is not: • an absolute blood pressure measurement • an independent diagnosis • Shock is: • a physiologic state in which significant, systemic reduction in tissue perfusion results in decreased tissue oxygen delivery

  4. Ramifications of Shock • Can lead to irreversible cell and tissue injury ultimately resulting in: • end-organ damage • multi-system organ failure • death • Mortality from shock remains high: • cardiogenic shock from AMI - 60-90% • septic shock - 35-40% • hypovolemic shock - varies depending on disease state

  5. Physiologic Determinants P = CO * SVR MAP – CVP = CO * SVR P = change in pressure MAP = mean arterial pressure CVP = central venous pressure CO = cardiac output SVR = systemic vascular resistance

  6. Physiologic Determinants CO = HR * SV CO = cardiac output HR = heart rate SV = stroke volume

  7. Physiologic Determinants O2 consumption = O2 Delivery – O2 Return VO2 = CO(CaO2-CvO2) VO2 = CO*1.34*Hgb*(SaO2-SvO2) CO = cardiac output CaO2 and CvO2 = arterial and mixed venous oxygen content SaO2 and SvO2 = arterial and mixed venous oxygen saturation

  8. Classification of Shock • Hypovolemic • Cardiogenic • Distributive (vasodilatory)

  9. Hypovolemic Shock • Results from decreased preload • Preload is one of the determinants of stroke volume • Thus, when preload drops, cardiac output drops

  10. Hypovolemic Shock • Hemorrhage – examples include: • Trauma • GI bleed • Ruptured aneurysm • Fluid losses – examples include: • Diarrhea • Vomiting • Burns • Third spacing of fluid

  11. Cardiogenic Shock • Results from pump failure • Manifested as decreased cardiac output • Four broad categories (examples given): • Cardiomyopathies • Myocardial infarction • Dilated cardiomyopathy • Arrhythmias • Both tachycardic and bradycardic

  12. Cardiogenic Shock • Mechanical • Valvular stenoses or insufficiencies • Obstructive/extracardiac • Pulmonary embolism • Tension pneumothorax • Pericardial tamponade

  13. Distributive Shock • Also referred to as vasodilatory shock • Results from a severe decrease in SVR • Examples include: • septic shock • systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) • anaphylaxis • neurogenic shock • Addisonian crisis

  14. Profiles of Shock States Note: This table represents “classic” shock states; in reality, mixed states may be present or parameters may vary depending on evolution of shock.

  15. Common Features of Shock • Hypotension • Cool, clammy skin • Oliguria • Altered mental status • Metabolic acidosis

  16. Evaluation of the Patient in Shock • Primary • History • Physical Examination • Laboratory • Radiographic • Secondary • pulmonary artery catheterization • echocardiography

  17. Pulmonary Artery Catheterization • Allows measurement of: • vascular pressures including PCWP • CO by thermodilution • calculation of SVR and PVR • mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) • Most cases of shock can be managed without a PA catheter • Debate ongoing on utility and safety of PA catheter

  18. Management of the Patient in Shock • Shock is an emergency state: • initial focus is on ABC’s of resuscitation • airway, breathing, circulation • Adequate venous access • central venous access not always required, but often necessary • Optimization of volume status • Identification of cause of shock and directed therapy

  19. Management - Hypovolemic Shock • Volume replacement key for all causes of hypovolemic shock • nonhemorrhagic: crystalloid fluid replacement • hemorrhagic: crystalloid fluid replacement and blood product replacement • Directed therapy to correct the cause of hypovolemic shock

  20. Management - Cardiogenic Shock • General points for cardiogenic shock • PA catheter commonly used • vasopressor support (specific discussion later) often needed • may need intra-aortic balloon pump • hypotension may or may not be present • identification of type of cardiogenic shock critical for optimal management

  21. Management - Cardiogenic Shock • Myocardial infarction • most common cause of cardiogenic shock • directed therapy for MI • aspirin, heparin, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, revascularization • Pulmonary embolism • most common cause of obstructive shock • avenues available to rapidly resolve clot burden • thrombolysis, interventional radiology directed clot extraction, surgical embolectomy

  22. Management - Distributive Shock • Identification of cause and directed therapy • e.g. Addisionian crisis - steroid replacement • Septic shock • most common form of distributive (vasodilatory) shock • early and aggressive fluid replacement is important and often underutilized • vasopressor support often required

  23. Management - Distributive Shock • Septic shock (continued) • identification of infectious site/source and guided therapy (antibiotics and drainage) • steroid replacement with concomitant relative adrenal insufficiency • optimal glucose control • recombinant human activated protein C (drotrecogin alfa activated) • attention to support of each organ system

  24. Pharmacological Therapy of Shock • Goals: • Increase CO to restore normal hemodynamics • Increase blood pressure and redistribute blood flow to vital organs (brain). • Pharmacological agents used depend on clinical and physiological parameters of shock and type of shock. • Agents used are primarily adrenergic receptor agonists

  25. Receptor type Receptor action (relative to hemodynamics) α1 Arterial vasoconstriction Increased myocardial contractility (minor) α2 Constriction of venous capacitance (major)Feedback inhibition of norepinephrine release at sympathetic fibers β1 Increased myocardial contractility (inotropy) Increased heart rate (chronotropy) β2 Relaxation of vascular smooth muscle (skeletal muscle) (Relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle) D1 Relaxation of splanchnic vascular smooth muscleRelaxation of renal vascular smooth muscle D2 Inhibition of norephinephrine uptake at sympathetic fibers Physiological actions of adrenergic receptors

  27. Dopamine • Pharmacodynamics • Low and moderate doses – primarily binds dopaminergic and β1 receptors • Higher doses – α1 receptors stimulated • Clinical effects • Increase heart rate (chronotropy) and contractility (inotropy) • Increase SVR by arteriolar vasoconstriction (higher doses).

  28. Dopamine • Clinical application • Most commonly used vasopressor • common starting dose – 5 μg/kg/min • Cardiogenic or distributive shock (shock of any etiology) • Adverse effects • Tachyarrhythmias, excessive tachycardia • Precipitate myocardial ischemia • Excessive vasoconstriction (digital ischemia) • Nausea and vomiting (central effects)

  29. Dobutamine • Pharmocodynamics • Primarily stimulates β1 receptors • Lesser binding to β2 and α receptors • Clinical effects • Increase CO (primarily inotropic effect) • SVR without significant change or a decline • Starting dose – 2-5 μg/kg/min

  30. Dobutamine • Clinical application • Cardiogenic shock and congestive heart failure • Common starting dose – 2-5 μg/kg/min • Sometimes used in distributive shock (when CO is normal or low which can occur in septic shock) • Adverse effects • Tachycardia and tachyarrhythmias • Myocardial ischemia

  31. Epinephrine • Pharmacodynamics • Extremely potent, high affinity binding of all α and β receptors. • Clinical effects • Increase CO • Increase SVR by vasoconstriction • High doses cause prominent vasoconstriction

  32. Epinephrine • Clinical applications • Refractory shock of all types – starting at 0.2 μg/kg/min • Cardiopulmonary resuscitation – 1 mg IV push • Anaphylaxis – 0.2-0.5 ml of 1:1000 dilution subcutaneously • Adverse effects • Excessive vasoconstriction • Tachycardia and tachyarrhythmias • Myocardial ischemia • Hyperglycemia

  33. Isoproteronol • Pharmacodynamics • β1 and β2 receptor agonist • No α effects • Clinical effects • Increased CO • Decreased SVR • Variable effect on blood pressure

  34. Isoproteronol • Clinical application • Not useful for shock because of prominent β2 effect and lack of α – may decrease MAP • Rare uses to increase heart rate (as in Torsade de Pointes)

  35. Norepinephrine • Pharmacodynamics • β1, α1, α2 receptor agonist • Low doses (< 0.03 μg/kg/min) have prominent β1 effect • Higher doses (> 0.06 μg/kg/min) stimulate α receptors • Clinical effects • Increase CO • Increase SVR

  36. Norepinephrine • Clinical applications • Distributive shock • Profound, refractory shock of any type • Adverse effects • Excessive vasoconstriction • Arrhythmia • Myocardial ischemia

  37. Phenylephrine • Pharmacodynamics • α1 and α2 receptor agonist • Lacks β effect • Clinical effects • Increased SVR • Starting dose - 30 μg/min

  38. Phenylephrine • Clinical application • Distributive shock (especially if very high heart rate or history of tachyarrhythmia) • Less commonly used than norepinephrine • Adverse effects • Excessive vasoconstriction • Reflex bradycardia

  39. Nonadrenergic Vasopressors and Inotropes • Vasopressin • antidiuretic hormone (ADH) analoge • can be used as a second line pressor agent • recent studies suggest a relative deficiency of ADH in sepsis • often added at a fixed rate of 0.04 units/min

  40. Nonadrenergic Vasopressors and Inotropes • Phosphodiesterase inhibitors • amrinone and milrinone • have inotropic and vasodilatory actions • effects are similar to dobutamine • used in cardiac failure

  41. Summary • Treat shock as an emergency • Remember the physiology that governs shock - your goal in treatment is to intervene appropriately to help correct the variable that is driving the shock state.
