SHOCK
Objectives:
At the completion of this section, the learner will be able to:
 Define shock
 Differentiate the signs of compensatory shock fro m deco mpensatory shock
 List the three forms of distributive shock
The CEN exam contains nine questions on shock which invol ve the following topics:





Card iogenic shock
Distributive shock (e.g. anaphylactic, septic, neurogenic shock)
Hypovolemic
Obstructive (e.g. pericardial tamponade, tension pneumothorax)
Shock (not specific)
 Shock (lack of oxygen to the tissues)
o Hypovolemic shock – Decreased cellular perfusion secondary to lack of circulating volu me
o Card iogenic shock – Decreased cellular perfusion secondary to failure of the central pu mp
o Distributive shock – Decreased cellular perfusion secondary to maldistribution of the o xygen to the periphery
o Obstructive shock – Decreased cellu lar perfusion secondary to obstruction of blood into or out of the ventricles (e.g.
pulmonary embolis m, pericard ial tamponade, tension pneumothorax)
 Obstructive shock
Type of obstruction
Pregnancy
Tension pneumothorax
Card iac tamponade
Pulmonary embolism
Aortic aneurysm
Aortic stenosis
Excessive positive end exp iratory pressure

 Rh positive blood is born with Rh antigens but no Rh antibodies and should
ideally receive Rh positive blood.
 Rh negative indiv iduals are born without Rh antigens and Rh antibodies. If they
receive Rh positive blood, they will develop Rh antibodies which will cause a
transfusion reaction in future transfusions.

HEMATOLOGICAL DISORDERS
 Disorders of the red blood cells
 Polycythemia (elevation in red blood cell count – often secondary to hypoxia)
 Co mmon causes:



Living or v isiting a high altitude

Prolonged physical activ ity associated with hypoxia (e.g. – running a marathon)
 Erythrocytosis – polycythemia secondary to hypoxic diseases such as COPD
Signs and symptoms

Fatigue

Bru ising
 Sensation of warmth in the limbs
Treat ment


Supportive therapy
 Treat underlying causes of erythrocytosis
Polycythemia vera (A condition with an overactive bone marrow resulting in high red blood cell, high white blood cell
and high platelet counts. Is a genetic disease which typically affects middle-aged Jewish men)
 Sympto ms: Elevated blood counts which may cause heart failure and hypoxia.
 Treat ment

Admin istration of radiat ion phosphorus
 Phlebotomy to remove who le blood and replace with normal saline.
 Anemia (A decreased red blood cell count)
 Treat ment
Type of
Treat ment
Deficiency
Blood Loss
Stem blood loss as well as fluid and blood replacement
Iron
• Oral iron therapy.
•
Iron is caustic to GI tract, may turn stools green or dark black
• Iron is constipating
• Take iron with acid ic substance, not with antacids
Vitamin B
This deficiency is usually secondary to lack of the intestinal en zy me needed to absorb it, therefore,
12
oral vitamin B is unlikely to be effective and subcutaneous vitamin B will be given
12
12
Folic acid
This is almost always secondary to nutritional deficits and patients should be encouraged to increased
fresh fruits and vegetables in their d iets and to take folic acid sup plements. (Note that cooking
vegetables cooks out the folic acid ).
All anemias
Maximize o xygenation of t issue via oxygen administration
 Sickle Cell Disease (congenital hemolytic anemia that occurs mainly in those of West African descent)
 Factors which may precipitate sickling:


Low o xygen concentrations

Infection

Acidosis

Dehydration
 Exposure to cold
Clin ical manifestations

Sudden explosive abdominal, chest, back and joint pain

Splenic ischemia can lead to increased susceptibility to infection

Heart ischemia can lead to acute coronary syndromes

Priapism

Ulcers of the lower ext remities and long thin extremities
7 |P age
Certified Emergency Nurse (CEN) Exam Review

Jeff Solheim
Treat ment

Treat the underlying cause (IV flu ids for dehydration, sodium bicarbonate for acidosis, antibiotics for infect ion,
etc.)

High flow o xygen (may reverse as many as 80% of sickled cells)

Pain control

Support extremit ies on pillows

Oral hydro xyurea
Discharge Instructi ons for Sickle Cell Disease:
 Warm moist heat to affected areas to reduce pain and swelling
 Keep well hydrated and rested
 Exercise regularly
 Avoid high altitudes or flying in non-pressurized aircraft
 Limit exposure to the cold
 Seek medical help for shortness of breath, weakness, fatigue, chest, abdominal, or back pain, or swelling of the hands
and feet.
Disorders of the white b lood cells

Neutropenia (A decrease in the white blood cells responsible for protecting the body from bacteria)
 Co mmon causes:


Cancer treat ment such as chemotherapy or radiation

Immunosuppressive therapy after organ transplantation

Immunosuppressive diseases such as acquired immune deficiency syndrome
(AIDS)

Nutrit ional deficits
Clin ical manifestations


Increased susceptibility to infect ion (especially g ram-negative bacteria)
 Blunted responses to infection (decreased redness, swelling, edema and pus formation.)
Treat ment considerations

Reverse Isolation

Avoid the use of indwelling catheters

Dilute IV med ications, administer slowly

Culture all potentially infected sites

Early init iation of antib iotics

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) alternated with ibuprofen (Motrin , Advil) every 2 – 3 hours to decrease fever and
drug toxicity.

Admin ister drugs to stimulate neutrophil p roduction:


The only sign of infection in a
neutropenic patient may be
fever. Therefore fever in the
neutropenic patient constitutes
a medical emergency.
Granulocyte colony-stimulat ing factor (Neupogen)
 Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (Leukine, Prokine)
Hu man Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) – (A retrovirus spread via
direct contact with an infected person’s blood or body secretions.)
 Sympto ms:

2 – 6 weeks post exposure: Sy mptoms similar to mononucleosis.

Onset of AIDS - Changes in level o f consciousness ranging fro m withdrawn to demented, indicat ions of
wasting, volume depletion and weakness. The comp lete blood count will likely show anemia, ly mphopenia and
thrombocytopenia. Indications of infections such as oral candidiasis, herpes zoster, tinea and other skin rashes.

Practice safe sex
Do not share drug
paraphernalia, razors, and

Avoid individuals who are ill.
The same precautions that were introduced for neutropenia should be
maintained for leukemia.
 Disorders of the clotting functions
 Idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) – (An autoimmune disorder that occurs most commonly in chidren between the
ages of 2 to 4 resulting in a decreased platelet count. The disease often occurs several weeks after a viral in fection or
immun izat ions.)
 Signs and symptoms: Indicat ions of bleeding such as bruising, petechiae, purpura, epistaxis, b leeding gums,
gastrointestinal bleeding, and hematuria.
 Treat ment:
 Many patients need nothing more than careful observation
 Severe cases may require glucocorticoids and immune globulins to elevate platelet co unts
 Thrombocytosis (abnormally elevated platele count which leads to an increased risk of spontaneous clot formation)
 Signs and symptoms
 May be asymptomat ic
 Burning sensation or redness in the extremities that may be relieved by aspirin
 Treat ment
 Monitor for pulmonary embolus, myocardial infarct ion, stroke and deep vein thrombosis.
 Aspirin
 Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) - (DIC is not a disease, but rather an abnormal activation of the body’s
clotting system that signals severe underlying problems. It involves both abnormal clotting and abnormal bleeding).
 Abnormal clotting with signs such as metabolic acidosis, mottling, gangrene and organ failure.
 Abnormal anticoagulation with bleed ing such as bruising, petechiae, purpura, epistaxis, bleeding gums, gastrointestinal
bleeding, and hematuria.
