CARDIAC ANATOMY
![Page 6: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
HEART
• Cardiac Cycle
• The repetitive pumping action that produces pressure changes that circulate blood throughout the body
• Cardiac Output
• The total amount of blood separately pumped by each ventricle per minute, usually expressed in liters per minute
![Page 7: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
CARDIAC OUTPUT
• Normal cardiac output = 5 to 6 liters per minute (LPM)
• Can increase up to 30 LPM in times of stress or exercise
• Determined by multiplying the heart rate by the volume of blood ejected by each ventricle during each beat (stroke volume)
• CO is influenced by:• Strength of contraction• Rate of contraction• Amount of venous return available to the ventricle
(preload)

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM (1 OF 4)
• Heart
• Autonomic nervous system
• Parasympathetic nervous system
• Slows rate
• Mediated by vagus nerve
• Sympathetic nervous system
• Increases rate

• Arteriole• Capillary: 7% of total blood volume• Venule• Vein
• Constriction returns 20% (1 liter) of blood to active circulation
} 64% of blood volume
} 13% of blood volume
![Page 10: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
CIRCULATORY SYSTEM (4 OF 4)
![Page 11: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
CIRCULATION (1 OF 2)
• Systolic Pressure
• Strength and volume of cardiac output
• Diastolic Pressure
• More indicative of the state of constriction of the arterioles
• Mean Arterial Pressure
• 1/3 pulse pressure added to the diastolic pressure
• Tissue perfusion pressure
![Page 12: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CIRCULATION (2 OF 2)
• Vascular Control
• Increased sympathetic tone results in increased vasoconstriction
• Microcirculation
• Blood flow in the arterioles, capillaries, and venules
• Sphincter functioning
• Most organ tissue requires blood flow 5 to 20% of the time.
![Page 13: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
THE VASOCONSTRICTION IN PERIPHERAL VASCULAR BDS
RESULTS IN THE CHARACTERISTIC PALE, COLD SKIN OF PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK.
![Page 14: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
VASCULATURE
• Lined with smooth muscle.
• All vessels larger than capillaries have layers of tissues (tunicae).
• Maintains blood flow by changes in pressure and peripheral vascular resistance.
![Page 15: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
STARLING’S LAW OF THE HEART
• When the rate at which blood flows into the heart from the veins (venous return) changes, the heart automatically adjusts its output to match inflow.
• The more blood the heart receives the more it pumps…
• Increased end diastolic volume increases contractility.
• Increases stroke volume. • Increases cardiac output.
• Starling curves at any end-diastolic volume.• Increased sympathetic input increases stroke volume. • Decreased sympathetic input decreases stroke volume.
![Page 16: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
RESISTANCE TO BLOOD FLOW INCREASES WITH…
• Increased fluid viscosity
• Increased vessel length
• Decreased vessel diameter
![Page 17: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
MICROCIRCULATION (1 OF 3)
• Can be divided into pulmonary microcirculation and peripheral microcirculation.
• Pressure in each division is produced by the right and left heart, respectively.
• Approximately 5% of the total circulating blood flow is always flowing through capillaries.
![Page 18: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Nervous control of circulation is
accomplished by negative feedback
mechanisms.
![Page 19: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
CNS ISCHEMIA RESPONSE
• CNS ischemia response is activated when blood flow to the vasomotor center of the medulla is decreased.
• In the presence of ischemia, the neurons within the medulla stimulate the sympathetic nervous system.
• Sympathetic vasoconstriction can elevate arterial pressure for as long as 10 minutes.
• The cerebral ischemia response functions only in emergency situations.

• Produced in bone marrow and lymph glands
• Release reserves when pathogens invade the body
![Page 30: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
PLATELETS
• Part of the body’s defense mechanism

![Page 31: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
STAGES OF SHOCKCELLULAR LEVEL
![Page 32: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
FOUR STAGES
• Stage 1: Vasoconstriction
• Stage 2: Capillary and venule opening
• Stage 3: Disseminated intravascular coagulation
• Stage 4: Multiple organ failure
![Page 33: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
STAGE 1: VASOCONSTRICTION (1 OF 4)
• Vasoconstriction begins as minimal perfusion to capillaries continues.
• Oxygen and substrate delivery to the cells supplied by these capillaries decreases.
• Anaerobic metabolism replaces aerobic metabolism.
![Page 34: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
STAGE 1: VASOCONSTRICTION (2 OF 4)
• Production of lactate and hydrogen ions increases.
• The lining of the capillaries may begin to lose the ability to retain large molecular structures within its walls.
• Protein-containing fluid leaks into the interstitial spaces (leaky capillary syndrome).
![Page 35: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
STAGE 1: VASOCONSTRICTION (3 OF 4)
• Sympathetic stimulation produces:• Pale, sweaty skin
• Rapid, thready pulse
• Elevated blood glucose levels
• The release of epinephrine dilates coronary, cerebral, and skeletal muscle arterioles and constricts other arterioles.
• Blood is shunted to the heart, brain, skeletal muscle, and capillary flow to the kidneys and abdominal viscera decreases.
![Page 36: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
STAGE 1: VASOCONSTRICTION (4 OF 4)
If this stage of shock is not treated by prompt restoration of circulatory volume, shock
progresses to the next stage.
![Page 37: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
STAGE 2: CAPILLARY AND VENULE OPENING (1 OF 5)
• Stage 2 occurs with a 15% to 25% decrease in intravascular blood volume. Heart rate, respiratory rate, and capillary refill are increased, and pulse pressure is decreased at this stage. Blood pressure may still be normal.
![Page 38: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
STAGE 2: CAPILLARY AND VENULE OPENING (2 OF 5)
• As the syndrome continues, the precapillary sphincters relax with some expansion of the vascular space.
• Postcapillary sphincters resist local effects and remain closed, causing blood to pool or stagnate in the capillary system, producing capillary engorgement.
![Page 39: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
STAGE 2: CAPILLARY AND VENULE OPENING (3 OF 5)
• As increasing hypoxemia and acidosis lead to opening of additional venules and capillaries, the vascular space expands greatly.
• Even normal blood volume may be inadequate to fill the container.
• The capillary and venule capacity may become great enough to reduce the volume of available blood for the great veins and vena cava.
• Resulting in decreased venous return and a fall in cardiac output.
![Page 40: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
STAGE 2: CAPILLARY AND VENULE OPENING (4 OF 5)
• Low arterial blood pressure and many open capillaries result in stagnant capillary flow.
• Sluggish blood flow and the reduced delivery of oxygen result in increased anaerobic metabolism and the production of lactic acid.
• The respiratory system attempts to compensate for the acidosis by increasing ventilation to blow off carbon dioxide.
![Page 41: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
STAGE 2: CAPILLARY AND VENULE OPENING (5 OF 5)
• As acidosis increases and pH falls, the RBCs may cluster together (rouleaux formation).
• Halts perfusion
• Affects nutritional flow and prevents removal of cellular metabolites
• Clotting mechanisms are also affected, leading to hypercoagulability.
• This stage of shock often progresses to the third stage if fluid resuscitation is inadequate or delayed, or if the shock state is complicated by trauma or sepsis.
![Page 42: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
STAGE 3: DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION (DIC)
(1 OF 4)
• Time of onset will depend on degree of shock, patient age, and pre-existing medical conditions.
• Stage 3 occurs with 25% to 35% decrease in intravascular blood volume. At this stage, hypotension occurs. This stage of shock usually requires blood replacement.
![Page 43: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
STAGE 3: DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION (DIC)
(2 OF 4)
• Stage 3 is resistant to treatment (refractory shock), but is still reversible.
• Blood begins to coagulate in the microcirculation, clogging capillaries.
• Capillaries become occluded by clumps of RBCs.
• Decreases capillary perfusion and prevents removal of metabolites
• Distal tissue cells use anaerobic metabolism, and lactic acid production increases.
![Page 44: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
STAGE 3: DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION (DIC)
(3 OF 4)
• Lactic acid accumulates around the cell.
• Cell membranes no longer have the energy needed to maintain homeostasis.
• Water and sodium leak in, potassium leaks out, and the cells swell and die.
![Page 45: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
STAGE 3: DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION (DIC)
(4 OF 4)
• Pulmonary capillaries become permeable, leading to pulmonary edema.
• Decreases the absorption of oxygen and results in possible alterations in carbon dioxide elimination
• May lead to acute respiratory failure or adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
• If shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) continue, the patient progresses to multiple organ failure.
![Page 46: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
STAGE 4: MULTIPLE ORGAN FAILURE (1 OF 2)
• The amount of cellular necrosis required to produce organ failure varies with each organ and the underlying condition of the organ.
• Usually hepatic failure occurs, followed by renal failure, and then heart failure.
• If capillary occlusion persists for more than 1 to 2 hours, the cells nourished by that capillary undergo changes that rapidly become irreversible.
• In this stage, blood pressure falls dramatically (to levels of 60 mmHg or less).
• Cells can no longer use oxygen, and metabolism stops.
![Page 47: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
STAGE 4: MULTIPLE ORGAN FAILURE (2 OF 2)
• If a critical amount of the vital organ is damaged by cellular necrosis, the organ soon fails.
• Failure of the liver is common and often presents early.
• Capillary blockage may cause heart failure.• GI bleeding and sepsis may result from GI
mucosal necrosis.• Pancreatic necrosis may lead to further
clotting disorders and severe pancreatitis.• Pulmonary thrombosis may produce
hemorrhage and fluid loss into the alveoli.• Leading to death from respiratory failure.
![Page 48: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
SHOCK AND HEMORRHAGE
![Page 49: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
DEFINING SHOCK (1 OF 2)
• Shock is best defined as inadequate tissue perfusion.
• Can result from a variety of disease states and injuries.
• Can affect the entire organism, or it can occur at a tissue or cellular level.
“The rude unhinging of the machinery of Life”
Gross, 1877

DEFINING SHOCK (2 OF 2)
• Shock is not adequately defined by:
• Pulse rate
• Blood pressure
• Cardiac function
• Hypovolemia
• Loss of systemic vascular resistance
![Page 51: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
HEMORRHAGE CLASSIFICATION
![Page 52: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
EXTERNAL HEMORRHAGE
• Results from soft tissue injury.
• Accounts for nearly 10 million emergency department visits in the United States each year.
• Most soft tissue trauma is accompanied by mild hemorrhage and is not life threatening.
• Can carry significant risks of patient morbidity and disfigurement
• The seriousness of the injury is dependent on:• Anatomical source of the hemorrhage (arterial, venous,
capillary)• Degree of vascular disruption• Amount of blood loss that can be tolerated by the patient
![Page 53: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
INTERNAL HEMORRHAGE (1 OF 2)
• Can result from:• Blunt or penetrating trauma
• Acute or chronic medical illnesses
• Internal bleeding that can cause hemodynamic instability usually occurs in one of four body cavities:
• Chest
• Abdomen
• Pelvis
• Retroperitoneum
![Page 54: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
INTERNAL HEMORRHAGE (2 OF 2)
• Signs and symptoms that may suggest significant internal hemorrhage include:
• Bright red blood from mouth, rectum, or other orifice
• Coffee-ground appearance of vomitus
• Melena (black, tarry stools)
• Dizziness or syncope on sitting or standing
• Orthostatic hypotension
![Page 55: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Internal hemorrhage is associated with higher morbidity and mortality
than external hemorrhage.
![Page 56: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSE TO HEMORRHAGE
• The body’s initial response to hemorrhage is to stop bleeding by chemical means (hemostasis).
• This vascular reaction involves:
• Local vasoconstriction
• Formation of a platelet plug
• Coagulation
• Growth of tissue into the blood clot that permanently closes and seals the injured vessel
![Page 57: Hemorhage & shock](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110303/54c0a8814a7959d33f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
FICK PRINCIPLE
• A method for measuring cardiac output.• The Fick principle assumes that the quantity of
oxygen delivered to an organ is equal to the amount of oxygen consumed by that organ plus the amount of oxygen carried away from that organ.
• Used to estimate perfusion either to an organ or to the whole body when oxygen content of both the arterial and venous blood is known and oxygen consumption is assumed to remain fixed.

HEMORRHAGE CONTROL
• External Hemorrhage• Direct pressure and pressure dressing• General management
• Direct pressure• Elevation• Ice• Pressure points• Constricting band• Tourniquet
• May use a BP cuff by inflating the cuff 20–30 mmHg above the SBP
• Release may send toxins to heart• Lactic acid and electrolytes
