Shock is a serious medical condition where the tissue perfusion is insufficient to meet
demand for oxygen and nutrients because the body is not getting enough blood flow.
This can damage multiple organs and can get worse very rapidly. This hypoperfusional
state is a life-threatening medical emergency and one of the leading causes of death for
critically ill people.
Blood loss can be due to bleeding from cuts or other injury or internal bleeding such as
gastrointestinal tract bleeding. The amount of blood in your body may drop when you
lose too many other body fluids, which can happen with diarrhea, vomiting, burns, and
other conditions.
Management of Shock
Symptoms:
Cold and mottled skin (cutis marmorata), especially extremities, due to insufficient
perfusion of the skin.
Therapy:
Symptoms:
similar to hypovolaemic shock but in addition:
Therapy :
The main goals of the treatment of cardiogenic shock are the re-establishment of
circulation to the myocardium, minimising heart muscle damage and improving the
heart's effectiveness as a pump.
Oxygen (O2) therapy to reduces the workload of the heart by reducing tissue
demands for blood flow.
Administration of cardiac drugs
Increase heart’s pumping action through medication such as Dopamine,
dobutamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, amrinone
3. Septic shock (associated with infections)
Septic shock is a serious condition that occurs when an overwhelming infection leads to
low blood pressure and low blood flow. The brain, heart, kidneys, and liver may not
work properly or may fail.
Most common of this case may it’s happened to the patients with Meningococcemia,
Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome, DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation),
Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
(ARDS).
Symptoms:
similar to hypovolaemic shock except in the first stages:
Therapy:
Therapy:
Common causes include insect bites/stings, horse serum (used in some vaccines), food
allergies, and drug allergies.
