Overview

Shock is the syndrome of circulatory failure that results in inadequate cellular oxygen utilization. The diagnosis of shock is based on clinical signs (eg, altered mental status, oliguria, cold and clammy skin) and biochemical abnormalities (eg, hyperlactatemia, base deficit) indicative of tissue hypoperfusion.[1] Management of shock consists of stabilization of the hemodynamic status and correction of the underlying cause.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Shock is a life-threatening condition and must be treated as such irrespective of the underlying cause.

Common Causes

Cardiogenic Shock
  • Arrhythmic
  • Mechanical
  • Myopathic
  • Pharmacologic
Obstructive Shock
  • Decreased cardiac compliance
  • Decreased ventricular preload
  • Increased ventricular afterload
Hypovolemic Shock
  • Fluid depletion
  • Hemorrhage
Distributive Shock

FIRE: Focused Initial Rapid Evaluation

A Focused Initial Rapid Evaluation (FIRE) should be performed to identify patients in need of immediate intervention.[2]

Boxes in the salmon color signify that an urgent management is needed.

Presence of chest pain and/or
ischemic findings on ECG
with coronary risk factors?

Complete Diagnostic Approach

History
  • Review all medications
  • Findings suggestive of hypovolemic shock
  • Findings suggestive of cardiogenic shock
  • Findings suggestive of distributive shock
Physical Examination
  • Vital signs
  • Temperature
  • Pulse
  • Respiration
  • Blood pressure
  • Mental status
  • Cutaneous
  • Neck
  • Cardiovascular
  • Pulmonary
  • Abdominal
  • Rectal
  • Extremities
  • Genitals
  • Neurologic
Laboratory Findings
  • Complete blood count
  • Electrolytes
  • Coagulation panel (PT, PTT, INR, etc.)
  • Cardiac markers
  • Liver function
  • Renal function
  • Lactate
  • Hyperlactatemia generally reflects the development of anaerobic metabolism in hypoperfused tissue and/or imparied hepatic clearance.
  • Lactate level could decrease within hours with effective therapy.[1]
  • Arterial blood gas
  • Cultures
  • Nasogastric aspirate
  • Pregnancy test
ECG Findings
Radiographic Findings
  • CT scan may aid in directing management in the following conditions:
Hemodynamic Profiles and Echocardiography Findings
Type of Shock Etiology CO SVR PCWP CVP SVO2 Echocardiographic Findings
Cardiogenic Acute Ventricular Septal Defect ↓↓ N — ↑ ↑↑ ↑ — ↑↑ Large ventricles with poor contractility
Acute Mitral Regurgitation ↓↓ ↑↑ ↑ — ↑↑
Myocardial Dysfunction ↓↓ ↑↑ ↑↑

Obstructive Pulmonary Embolism ↓↓ N — ↓ ↑↑ Dilated RV, small LV
Cardiac Tamponade ↓ — ↓↓ ↑↑ ↑↑ Pericardial effusion, small ventricles, dilated inferior vena cava
Distributive Septic Shock N — ↑↑ ↓ — ↓↓ N — ↓ N — ↓ ↑ — ↑↑ Normal cardiac chambers with preserved contractility
Anaphylactic Shock N — ↑↑ ↓ — ↓↓ N — ↓ N — ↓ ↑ — ↑↑

Treatment

Management of shock consists of stabilization of the hemodynamic status and correction of the underlying cause once it is identified.

Obstructive shock

Distributive shock

Hypovolemic shock

Do's

  • Initial Management
  • Resuscitation should be initiated while investigation is ongoing. Correct the cause of shock immediately once it is identified.
  • The VIP (Ventilate-Infuse-Pump) approach is useful for ensuring an orderly sequence of therapeutic-diagnostic maneuvers.[3]
  • Ventilate
  • Infuse
