Stages of Shock Compensatory
1. Compensatory -SNS causes vasoconstriction, increased HR,
2. Progressive increased heart contractility to maintain BP and
3. Irreversible CO
-Body shunts blood from skin, kidneys, GI tract.
Results in cool, clammy skin, hypoactive BS,
decreased UO
-Perfusion of tissues is inadequate
-Acidosis occurs from anaerobic metabolism
-RR inc due to acidosis, may cause compensatory
resp alkalosis. Confusion can also occur
Progressive
-BP regulation can no longer compensate so
BP/MAP decrease
-Hypoperfusion to all organ with further
vasoconstriction
-Metal status further deteriorates from dec cerebral
perfusion and hypoxia
-Lungs start to fail because decreased pulmonary
blood flow causes further hypoxemia, inc CO2 levels,
alveoli collapse and pulmonary edema
-MAP <70, GFR cannot be maintained causes
acute renal failure
-Liver, GI and hematological function affected
-DIC may occur
Irreversible
-Cannot survive
-Organ damage so severe that pt does not respond to
tx
-BP low
-Renal, liver fail
-Anaerobic metabolism worsens acidosis
-Multi organ damage

General Mx of shock -Fluid replacement: Crystalloid, colloid sln. First
line!
-Vasoactive meds
• Norepi, dopamine, phenylephrine, vasopressin:
they need fluid on board to work! (volume)
SE: tachycardia and dec peripheral perfusion
-Nutritional support
-Modified Trendelenburg can help keep BP
up. Report MAP <65
-VS q15min
-Can monitor O2 Sat via central line (70%+)
-Meds can be given thru central line if possible and
titrated to effect: risk for extravasation
Classifications of shock Hypovolemic: Decreased intravascular volume due to
