Q & A
What is the primary focus of the video on shock?
-The primary focus of the video is to compare different types of shock and to differentiate between them, providing an advanced coverage of the subject.
What are the two key values discussed in the video that are crucial for understanding shock?
-The two key values discussed are cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance (SVR), which together determine blood pressure.
How does cardiac output relate to blood flow in the body?
-Cardiac output measures the amount of blood the heart pumps out per minute, which directly relates to the blood flow throughout the body.
What does an elevated systemic vascular resistance (SVR) indicate in the context of shock?
-An elevated SVR in shock indicates that blood vessels are constricting in an attempt to compensate for a decrease in cardiac output and restore blood pressure.
What is the significance of pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) in diagnosing shock?
-PCWP, measured with a pulmonary artery catheter, indicates how well the heart is pumping blood forward and can be elevated if the heart is struggling or if there is a blockage.
How does left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) relate to the heart's function in shock?
-LVEDV represents the volume of blood in the left ventricle just before it contracts. It can be elevated in shock if the heart is overloaded with fluid and not pumping efficiently.
What does a low mixed venous oxygen saturation (MvO2) suggest about the body's oxygenation?
-A low MvO2 suggests that tissues have extracted a lot of oxygen, indicating that the body's oxygenation may be compromised.
How does cardiogenic shock differ from obstructive shock in terms of cardiac function?
-In cardiogenic shock, the heart's ability to pump is impaired, leading to decreased cardiac output. In obstructive shock, an external factor prevents blood from being pumped forward, but the heart's function itself is not the primary issue.
What is the typical cardiac output and SVR response in hypovolemic shock?
-In hypovolemic shock, due to low blood volume, cardiac output is low, and systemic vascular resistance is elevated as the body tries to maintain blood pressure.
How does neurogenic shock affect heart rate and blood pressure?
-Neurogenic shock impairs the sympathetic response, leading to low blood pressure and, uniquely, a low heart rate (bradycardia), as opposed to other types of shock where heart rate is increased.
What immune system response is responsible for the vasodilation seen in septic shock?
-In septic shock, the immune system responds to infectious material, causing systemic vasodilation and a significant drop in vascular resistance.
How does anaphylactic shock differ from septic shock in terms of vascular response?
-Both anaphylactic and septic shock involve vasodilation and lowered vascular resistance, but anaphylactic shock is characterized by an allergic reaction causing widespread swelling, while septic shock is due to an immune response to infection.
What is unique about the cardiac output and resistance in dissociative shock?
-In dissociative shock, both cardiac output and resistance are increased, but tissues are not receiving oxygenation due to the inability of oxygen to dissociate from red blood cells.
Why would the mixed venous oxygen saturation (MvO2) be low in dissociative shock?
-MvO2 would be low in dissociative shock because tissues are pulling out any available oxygen from the blood, as they are not receiving adequate oxygen from red blood cells.

🩺 Understanding Different Types of Shock
This paragraph introduces the concept of creating a final video to compare various types of shock. The focus is on differentiating between them using key values such as cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance (SVR), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), and mixed venous oxygen saturation (MVO2). The video aims to provide a brief overview of these values and their implications in shock conditions, emphasizing the importance of cardiac output and SVR in maintaining blood pressure and tissue oxygenation.
🚑 Cardiogenic and Obstructive Shock Analysis
The first part of this paragraph discusses cardiogenic shock, which is characterized by a severe decrease in cardiac output due to the heart's impaired pumping ability. As a compensatory mechanism, systemic vascular resistance increases to maintain blood pressure. The heart's dysfunction leads to fluid backup, resulting in elevated PCWP and LVEDV. Mixed venous oxygen content is lower due to reduced blood flow allowing tissues to extract more oxygen. The second part quickly addresses obstructive shock, which is similar to cardiogenic shock but caused by an obstruction preventing blood from being pumped forward, leading to increased PCWP and decreased MVO2. Differentiating these two types of shock requires understanding the patient's history and symptoms.
🌡 Hypovolemic, Neurogenic, and Septic Shock Overview
This paragraph delves into hypovolemic shock, where low blood volume results in decreased cardiac output and oxygen delivery. Systemic vascular resistance is elevated as the body tries to compensate for the low blood volume. In neurogenic shock, there's an impaired sympathetic response leading to low blood pressure and bradycardia, with no change in ventricular volume and decreased MVO2 due to slowed blood flow allowing more time for oxygen extraction. Septic shock is caused by the immune system's response to infection, initially causing vasodilation and decreased vascular resistance, with cardiac output potentially increasing or decreasing in later stages. Fluid load and oxygen extraction can vary, with tissues potentially not extracting oxygen properly due to swelling and fluid accumulation outside blood vessels.
🌪 Anaphylactic and Dissociative Shock Characteristics
Anaphylactic shock is characterized by increased swelling, which hinders proper oxygen distribution to tissues, and a large decrease in vascular resistance due to blood vessel dilation, similar to septic shock. Cardiac output is elevated to counteract the decreased resistance, with pulmonary capillary wedge pressure remaining unchanged or slightly decreased. Dissociative shock is unique, with both cardiac output and resistance increased, but tissues not receiving oxygen due to the inability of oxygen to dissociate from red blood cells. Despite these compensatory mechanisms, tissue starvation occurs, and MVO2 is lowered as tissues extract what oxygen they can. Free-floating oxygen in the plasma is also low due to the tissues' oxygen deprivation.

Transcripts
so I want to create one final video on
shock and this is the video to really
compare all the different types of shock
and see how you can differentiate
between them now this will be an
advanced coverage of all the different
types of shock so most of my detail will
be very brief and give you a general
gist of the type of shock but of all of
these I want to look at four different
values the first is cardiac output and
of course cardiac output is how much
fluid how much blood the heart puts out
per minute so it's usually measured in
liters per minute or milliliters per
minute SVR stands for systemic vascular
resistance
so that's resistance of all the blood
vessels in the body and the two of these
cardiac output and systemic vascular
resistance equal blood pressure so
usually in shock when one value goes
down the other will go up to try to
compensate unless both of them are shut
down cardiac output and systemic
vascular resistance also provide
information on tissue oxygenation if
they're decreased tissue oxygenation can
be decreased as well bcw P stands for
pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and
this is measured with a pulmonary artery
catheter it tells you how well the heart
is able to pump fluid forward if the
heart is struggling or if there's some
blockage or something preventing blood
from being pushed forward by the heart
then P C WP pulmonary capillary wedge
pressure will be elevated and lved V
stands for left ventricular
end-diastolic volume it's the volume of
blood in the left ventricle at the end
of relaxation basically it's how much
blood is in the left ventricle just
before it squeezes out so this will also
be elevated in a heart that is
overloaded with fluid and last of all
the value M vo2 which stands for mixed
venous oxygen saturation this will
usually be low when the tissues have
extracted a lot of oxygen this is
measured in the right atrium so it's a
way to average out the oxygen content in
the blood and
of tissues in the capillaries are able
to extract oxygen the total amount of
oxygen going back to the heart will be
decreased so that would be a decreased
mixed venous oxygen content and
vice-versa
if the tissues are unable to extract
oxygen oxygen will be left in the
bloodstream and this value will be
elevated okay so that's the basics let's
go ahead and get started on this
so cardiogenic shock is an issue with
the heart's ability to pump so right
away we know that cardiac output is
going to be decreased pretty severely
depending on how severely the heart
muscle is impaired with a decreased
cardiac output the blood vessels are
going to clamp down and so you'll have
an elevated systemic vascular resistance
in an attempt to return blood back to
the heart and restore blood pressure the
heart's inability to function leads to
backup of fluid and usually this
accumulates in the heart
so you'll see an elevated pulmonary
capillary wedge pressure as well as the
left ventricular end-diastolic volume so
these will be increased because blood is
not squeezed out of the heart properly
last of all mixed venous oxygen content
will be lower and that's because since
blood is not flowing as quickly because
the heart is shut down any oxygen that
remains in the blood is pulled furiously
out by the tissues and so you'll see a
lower content of oxygen when Blood
returns to the heart
now obstructive all I'll rush through
really quickly because it's pretty much
identical to cardiogenic shock instead
of the heart being affected it's
something outside of the heart that's
preventing fluid from being squeezed
forward so of course blood is left in
the heart meaning a piece ewp will be
elevated and going back over here fluid
can't be pushed out of the heart because
of some sort of obstruction whether this
is a pulmonary embolism preventing blood
from getting from the right side of the
heart to the left side of the heart or
if it's cardiac tamponade or aortic
stenosis or or any of that and the blood
vessels will compensate by trying to
increase vascular resistance
and last of all tissues are trying to
pull out oxygen furiously
so it's will see a lo MV o2 to really
differentiate these two it's important
to know a patient's history as well as
the symptoms that they're experiencing
and the onset of the symptoms as well
for example if a patient has history of
heart attacks it may be more likely that
cardiogenic shock is the cause so you'll
go through your different diagnostic
tools to determine whether it's
cardiogenic or obstructive shock
now hypovolemic shock the issue is low
blood volume so because of low blood
volume there is a low amount of blood
that can be squeezed forward from the
heart low fluid return to the heart
means low cardiac output low delivery of
oxygen and because of this low blood
volume blood vessels are trying to clamp
down and so systemic vascular resistance
will be very elevated the fluid
accumulation in the heart that's left
over will actually be very low because
right it's hypovolemic low volume in the
body and tissues we'll be extracting
oxygen furiously leaving the MV o2 to be
much lower
next neurogenic shock causes impaired
sympathetic response to the heart and
the blood vessels so you have very low
blood pressure because both the heart
and the blood vessels are getting low
sympathetic tone and if no in neurogenic
shock you have bradycardia low heart
rate this is very unique to neurogenic
shock as in all the other shocks heart
rate is increased to try to compensate
for the low blood pressure and there
should really be no change in
ventricular volume and there will be a
decrease in mixed venous oxygen
essentially the circulatory system
collapses so blood flow slows way down
and so oxygen is exposed to the tissues
longer as blood traverses through the
blood vessels giving more time for
oxygen extraction next we have septic
shock now the cause for shock in sepsis
is the immune system the immune system
responds to infective material and
causes systemic
their dilation vasodilation so vascular
resistance drops tremendously to
compensate for this the heart initially
tries to pump faster but as time goes on
as a patient is exposed to sepsis for a
longer period of time the immune
molecules can paralyze the heart and
cause damage which will lead to
decreased cardiac output so cardiac
output can either be elevated initially
or lower in later stages of septic shock
the fluid load on the heart is really
not affected maybe a little bit lowered
and oxygen extraction can either be
elevated or decreased and the reason you
might have an elevated MV o2 mixed
venous oxygen saturation is because the
tissues aren't extracting it properly
septic shock causes a lot of swelling
throughout the body and this can make it
difficult for oxygen to be delivered to
the tissues a lot of fluid is
accumulating just outside of the blood
vessels and so oxygen has to travel a
longer way to get from the blood vessels
to the tissues that need the oxygen and
so that's a perfect segue into
anaphylactic shock there's also
increased swelling and that's one of the
major symptoms of anaphylactic shock
so oxygen cannot be distributed to the
tissues properly and also an
anaphylactic shock you have a large
lowering of vascular resistance the
blood vessels throughout the body dilate
which is very similar to septic shock
now cardiac output will be elevated in
an attempt to counteract the decreased
resistance and the pulmonary capillary
wedge pressure will be the same maybe a
little bit decreased now last of all we
have dissociated shock and this is a
very interesting shock because both
cardiac output and resistance are going
to be increased the tissues are not
getting oxygenation because oxygen
cannot dissociate off of red blood cells
so because of that the body attempts to
increase the heart rate and improve
cardiac output as well as clamp blood
school's down to distribute oxygen
properly however regardless of these
changes red blood cells cannot
dissociate from their oxygen and so that
is causing tissue starvation so looking
over at mvo to the tissues will pull out
any oxygen they can from the blood so MV
o2 will be lowered free-floating oxygen
in the plasma in the blood plasma will
especially be low since tissues are not
getting their oxygen from the red blood
cells and finally the pulmonary
capillary wedge pressure or the fluid
overload of the heart will be about the
same no real change so I encourage you
to go back and look over this chart and
attempt to do it on your own to really
reason through each of these types of
shock to understand how they cause
decreased oxygen perfusion
