Cards

Term
cardiogenic shock
Definition

 

nOften defined as :PUMP FAILURE

 

nMEDICAL EMERGENCY

 

nGoal of Treatment: PREVENTION

 

nLife-threatening condition

 

nHigh mortality rate: 50-80%

 

nEarly intervention REQUIRED to interrupt the vicious cycleà mortality risk increases as person moves thru Stage1à Stage 4

 

Term
clinical manifestations of cardiogenic shock
Definition

 

nS&S of ACUTE HEART FAILURE

 

nAcute SOB

 

nTachypnea

 

 

nHYPOXIA

 

nRestlessness

 

nChange in Mental Status/confusion

 

nDecreased pulse ox

 

 

nSHOCK SYNDROME

 

nAcute Hypotension

 

nTachycardia: weak/thready pulse

 

nCold clammy skin (hypo-perfusion)

 

Term

4 stages of cardiogenic shock-what happens at each?

 

Definition

 

nInitial Stage:

 

nasymptomatic

 

nCompensatory Stage:

 

nCatecholaminesà Vasoconstriction

 

nProgressive Stage:

 

nDisarrayà anaerobic metabolism & metabolic acidosis

 

nRefractory Stage:

 

nTOTAL disarrayà losing the fightà DIC & MOF

 

 

Term
goals of cardiogenic shock management
Definition

 

nReduce Cardiac Demand

 

nCorrect Underlying cause

 

nImprove Oxygenation

 

nMaintain BP

 

nCorrect Acidosis

 

nMaintain normal glucose levels

 

nThrombolytics

 

Term
interventions of management of cardiogenic shock
Definition

 

nAGGRESSIVE TREATMENT  to Correct Underlying Causeà STOP the PROGRESSION

 

nCorrect underlying dysrhythmia

 

nCorrect hypo or hypervolemia

 

nReduce Cardiac demand

 

nImprove oxygenation

 

nMaintain Blood Pressure

 

nPharmacologic therapyà to reduce cardiac workload

 

nCorrect pump-failure

 

nAssistive devices (IABP)

 

Term
medication managment of cardiogenic shock
Definition

 

Positive Inotropics (next slide)

 

nVasodilators-adenosine, epi

 

nDiuretics

 

nVasopressors-fighting hypotension

 

nThrombolytics

 

nSodium Bicarbonate

 

nBeta-blockers

 

nMorphine

 

Term
positive ionotropics and cardiogenic shock
Definition

 

nGoal: increase force of  myocardial contraction

 

nDobutamine, Epinephrine, Amrinone

 

nCan cause tachy-dysrhythmias

 

Term
vasodilators and cardiogenic shock
Definition

 

nGoals: reduce volume returning to heartàdecrease cardiac workload, also decrease BP (caution!!)

 

nNitroglycerine

 

Term
diuretics for cardiogenic shock
Definition

 

nGoal: reduce cardiac workload, reduce pre-load& afterload

 

nIV Lasix-drug of choice

 

Term
goal for cardiogenic shock
Definition

 

nGoal: reduce pre-load, decrease anxiety & impending doom

 

Term
other medications for cardiogenic shock
Definition

 

nSodium Bicarbonate: correct metabolic acidosis

 

nThrombolytics: prevent clot formation

 

nBeta-blockers: decrease heart rate & decrease BP

 

nInsulin: to maintain euglycemia (normal blood glucose levels)

 

Term
vasopressors for cardiogenic shock
Definition

 

nNOT INDICATED IN EARLY STAGES OF CARDIOGENIC SHOCK

 

nGoal: Increase BP & Increase cardiac Outputàpromote perfusion of heart and brain (at the expense of other organs.. i.e. kidneys)à compromised perfusion to other vital organs

 

nIE: Dopamine, Epinephrine, Norepinephrine

 

Term
additional nursing considerations in the mangement of cardiogenic shock
Definition

 

nIV fluids: Normal Saline or Lactated ringers: maintain intravascular volume

 

nSupplemental Oxygen

 

nIntubation may be required

 

nMonitoring of VS & Lab Values

 

nBed rest

 

nParenteral Nutrition

 

nPain & anxiety control

 

nEmotional support for Patient & Family

 

nCalm environment and reassuring approach

 

nDealing with possible impending death (spiritual support)

 

Term
IABP
Definition

 

Catheter goes into any big artery, thread down into aorta, inflated during diastole, deflated during systole
