1. Formulate the question
![Page 4: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

1. Formulate the question
a. Should I give more fluids? (Or inotropes, or vasopressors?)
b. Why is the patient shocked?
The shock screen won’t tell you the diagnosis every time, but it will tell you when not to give IV fluids… or when to stop (B profile
appears)
![Page 5: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Why is the patient shocked?
• Obstructive (TPTX, massive PE, tamponade)
• Cardiogenic• Hypovolaemic (fluid loss, 3rd spacing…)• Distributive (septic, anaphylactic,
neurogenic)• Dissociative (CO, cyanide)
![Page 6: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Why is the patient shocked?
• Obstructive (TPTX, massive PE, tamponade)
• Cardiogenic (lung rockets)• Hypovolaemic (fluid loss, 3rd spacing…)• Distributive (septic, anaphylactic,
neurogenic)• Dissociative (CO, cyanide)
![Page 7: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Should I give more fluids?
• Lungs: wet or dry?• IVC: collapsing or distended?
![Page 8: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
8
Should I give more fluids?
Wet lungsDistended IVC… probably not
(NB look for ‘APO mimics’ eg fibrosis, and ‘fluid overload mimics’
eg cor pulmonale)
Dry lungsSmall IVC
…yes (but re-scan with every bag of IV fluid: if still shocked & B profile appears, cease fluids)
![Page 9: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

What if lungs dry & large IVC?(or lungs wet & small IVC?)
A. Each sign has false positives & negatives.
Go back & reassess the patient, then synthesize your findings.
=Be a doctor.
![Page 10: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
What about large LA/LV?Surely that suggests I should avoid IVT?
A. Not in isolation.Even patients with dilated cardiomyopathy
can suffer hypovolaemic shock.
But be sensible & consider smaller boluses, and correlate with other findings.

B & B’ profile
At least 3 B lines in all 4 anterior windows= wet lungs
Pleural sliding present = B profile = APO
Pleural sliding reduced /absent, irregular pleural line = B’ profile = disseminated pneumonia / ARDS
![Page 33: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Is that 100% true?
No, but it’s close.B profile + preserved lung sliding = almost
always APO.B profile + absent sliding = almost always
pneumonia.
NB remember the 90% rule
![Page 34: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Recall: A/B profile

Recall: C profile
The windows show anterior consolidation=
PneumoniaARDS
(rarely: PE)
Small amounts of consolidation = ‘irregular pleural line’

Step 2 (after PTX ruled out)
Single view of heart
![Page 40: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Wait a minute!
Do I need to scan the heart if I already have a diagnosis from the lung scan (PTX,
pneumonia, APO)?
![Page 41: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Controversial
Most of us would still scan heart to be sure.Some wouldn’t.
(See APO note next slide)
This step only yields useful information if it demonstrates obvious pathology: ie ‘rule in, not rule out’.
If negative, you will need to proceed to step 3.
![Page 42: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Step 2 (if lung sliding & B profile)
This is usually acute cardiogenic pulmonary oedema (APO). Occasionally severe bilateral
pneumonia / ARDS can look like this.
Fibrosis can look like this, but is usually limited to upper or lower lobes.
![Page 43: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
If you saw B profile on step 1…… and step 2 shows poor
LV function= acute cardiogenic
pulmonary oedema(APO)
And step 2 shows ‘normal’ LVStill probably APO- start
treating(but re-check clinical picture
to be sure it's not severe bilateral pneumonia /
ARDS)
LV failure commonly appears as spuriously 'normal' LV on basic 2D echo. So if B profile but heart looks OK, start
treating for APO, then proceed to focused TTE & reassess patient.
![Page 44: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Back to the heart.What am I looking for?
Tamponade?Massive PE?
Hypovolaemia?
![Page 45: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

Step 2: single view heart
• Using the curved probe, subcostal view is easiest• Probe transverse, marker to patient's right• ID heart (probe angled cephalad)• Options if you can't obtain an adequate view:
• Try different window (apical, parasternal)• Try different probe (phased array)• Get help
![Page 46: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Hang on!
Do I need to scan the IVC if I already have a diagnosis from steps 1 & 2?
(PTX, massive PE, tamponade, pneumonia, APO)
![Page 51: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Controversial
Not if Dx already obvious (eg tamponade).Yes if Dx still unclear: dry lungs, small volume
heart (e.g. you haven’t ruled out PE yet)But remember that IVC can be ‘falsely’ large
(eg cor pulmonale) and ‘falsely’ small (eg XS probe pressure)
![Page 52: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
47
So proceed to step 3...
...if lungs are dry & no obvious PE or tamponade
But be a doctor & synthesize the findings.

56
Step 4
• Take a step back• Have a think (& another look at the patient &
other information)• What causes have I excluded?• What else is left?• Can bedside US help any further?
• Abdomen (hypovol: AAA / free fluid)• Leg veins (obstructive: PE)
![Page 64: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
57
Who needs step 4?
Anyone with:Dry lungs, lung sliding present, diagnosis still
unclear, and…***shock unresponsive to fluids***
Is it sepsis?Is it a ruptured AAA?
Is it PE?
![Page 65: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
58
Step 4
Options: either/ both of:3-point compression DVT scan (is it a PE?)
Abdomen (is it AAA? Free fluid?)
![Page 66: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Step 4: dry lungs, diagnosis unclear, shock unresponsive to IV fluids
DVT not seen:Scan the abdomen
DVT seen= PE
3-point compression leg veins
Normal aortaAAA ruled out
Now what?PTO
AAA seen =Ruptured AAA
![Page 67: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
60
Now what?
You’ve reached the end of the scanPatient still shockedFluids didn’t work
You’ve ruled out cardiogenic, PTX, tamponade
…but not PE.If it’s still on your list, you need a different
test.
![Page 68: 11 shock algorithm](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051014/54bf8e5c4a7959965a8b4657/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
61
But while arranging other tests…
Keep scanning the lungs
If lungs still dry, you can give more IV fluid
Once B profile appears or patient improves, cease fluids

A 3-step scan (plus 1)
1. Anterior lung fields (this time 2 points)2. Single view heart3. IVC (hypovolaemia / obstructive shock)4. Take a step back & consider:
• Leg veins (obstructive: PE)• Abdo (hypovol: AAA / free fluid)• Other tests

Further tests?
After resuscitation phaseIf shock screen didn't sufficeIf clinical picture demands it

Summary
The shock screen won’t tell you the diagnosis every time, but it will tell you when it’s safe to give IV fluids (dry lungs & small IVC)… or when to stop (wet lungs, large
IVC).
