is associated with cardiogenic or hemorrhagic shock, and a high ScVO2 is associ­ated with septic shock. One can see how this makes sense in both hemorrhagic and cardiogenic shock by analyzing the equations in Fig.14.1. Conceptually, in cardio­genic shock, tissues have excess time to extract oxygen as ow is sluggish. In hem­orrhagic shock, the amount of oxygen delivered is low due to loss of hemoglobin and blood volume. Sepsis instead typically presents with vasodilatory shock, mini­mizing the ability of tissues to extract oxygen, which results in normal to high ScVO2. However, there are many variables in this equation that limit its accuracy and can make the interpretation of a single ScVO2 value prone to error. For instance, in a patient who is mechanically ventilated and has an elevated partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2), this would result in a higher ScVO2. In this sce­nario, ruling out cardiogenic shock by that value alone may be a mistake. ScVO2 may provide value when trending, particularly in cardiogenic shock and evaluating response to therapies. In sepsis, there have been multiple trials that have demon­strated limited utility in determining outcomes and response to therapy as opposed to utilizing lactic acid and clinical assessment [1822].
Hematologic derangements are also common in shock. Leukocytosis is com­monly seen in both sepsis and other causes of shock [23]. Decreased hemoglobin and platelets may be seen due to hemorrhagic shock. Increased blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine are commonly seen due to impaired renal perfusion. In severe shock, signicant elevation of AST and ALT may occur. If severe enough, patients may develop acute liver failure. Elevated troponin is common, especially when uti­lizing high-sensitivity troponin assays. This occurs even in the absence of acute coronary occlusion [24]. Metabolic acidosis, most commonly due to lactic acid and/ or renal failure, may be present.

14.3.3 Imaging

Imaging is an essential aspect in diagnosing the cause of shock. Bedside ultrasound assessing for cardiac function, signs of tamponade, pneumothorax, free intraperito­neal uid, and aortic abnormalities may immediately help clinicians narrow down the primary etiology of shock [2528]. A chest X-ray may help identify pneumonia, aortic abnormalities, cardiomegaly, pneumothorax, or other ndings to help deter­mine a cause as well. CT imaging can be highly sensitive for foci of infection, pul­monary embolism, aortic pathology, and more.

14.3.4 Invasive Hemodynamic Monitoring

Although no invasive hemodynamic monitoring device has demonstrated sufcient evidence that their use improves mortality in shock in randomized controlled trials, they are commonly used [29, 30]. Arterial lines are helpful to obtain accurate and
14 Sho ck
timely blood pressure measurements, as noninvasive blood pressure cuffs may pro­vide inaccurate measurements in patients with vasoconstriction. Central venous pressure (CVP) monitoring may be helpful in identifying right heart dysfunction and signs of venous congestion. Pulmonary arterial catheters (PACs) are used to determine cardiac output and other hemodynamic variables, which may aid in deter­mining the hemodynamic prole of a patient’s shock state. PACs are now less com­monly used, as multiple studies have failed to demonstrate mortality benet for most cases of shock [3142]. Point-of-care cardiac ultrasound (POCUS) has now been used in place of PACs in many cases; however, they remain useful, especially in cases where echocardiography is limited or in patients with cardiogenic shock.

14.4 Classication
Although there are distinct classications and phenotypes of shock, it is clinically important to recognize that shock is frequently multifactorial, and certain causes of shock often have phenotypic components of more than one type of shock. Going forward, we will categorize and describe the phenotypes of the several types of shock as detailed in Table14.3. In the clinical scenarios, however, at the bedside, it can be difcult to determine the exact cause or type of shock. By understanding this, we can improve our ability to diagnose certain types of shock, as well as avoid the pitfall of not considering more than one etiology of shock.

14.4.1 Distributive

Distributive shock is caused by pathologic peripheral vasodilation. Loss of systemic vascular resistance (SVR) without adequate uid resuscitation causes a decrease in left ventricular (LV) lling pressures and cardiac index due to decreased venous blood volume. However, after uid resuscitation, these parameters may normalize, and patients commonly have high cardiac output due to decreased systemic vascular resistance. Despite cardiac output being high, there is ineffective tissue perfusion due to excessive vasodilation and microcirculatory dysfunction. Clinically, these patients often have warm, well-perfused extremities, decreased diastolic blood pres­sure, and increased pulse pressure. Other signs of shock commonly exist, including tachycardia, tachypnea, and oliguria.
Sepsis is the most common cause of distributive shock and is one of the most common causes of mortality in the intensive care unit [43]. Sepsis is caused by a dysregulated host immune response to infection [44]. It is important to point out that sepsis is not only caused by bacteria, as other forms of infection such as viruses and fungi can also result in sepsis. This results in inammatory mediators including cytokines, kinins, complement, coagulation factors, and eicosanoids that cause vasodilation and multisystem organ dysfunction [4551]. Sepsis may commonly present with signs and symptoms of other forms of shock as well. Cardiogenic shock

may co-occur due to sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy. Hypovolemic shock can occur secondary to symptoms related to infection and increased insensible losses [52]. Sepsis may also lead to a hypercoagulable state, resulting in pulmonary embolism and obstructive shock [53].
Systemic inammatory response syndrome (SIRS) can also result in distributive
shock and is characterized by a robust inammatory response to a major insult [54].

Causes include infection, pancreatitis, burns, major trauma, cardiac arrest, cardio­pulmonary bypass, amniotic uid embolism, and fat embolism.
Neurogenic shock is caused by a traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury that results in the disruption of autonomic pathways, particularly of the sympathetic system. This typically results in decreased vascular resistance and increased para­sympathetic tone, resulting in vasodilatory shock. Notably, there is often a compo­nent of cardiogenic shock from the resultant bradycardia. Severe trauma, however, often results in multiple injuries, and the diagnosis of neurogenic shock should only be made after excluding major hemorrhage.
Anaphylaxis is another common form of distributive shock. Anaphylaxis is caused by an IgE-mediated response to an allergen resulting in mast cell degranula­tion. In addition to systemic vasodilation, anaphylaxis will commonly cause rash (urticaria), bronchospasm, gastrointestinal symptoms, and mucosal swelling. Unlike many other causes of distributive shock, anaphylaxis is often rapidly reversible.
Adrenal crisis and decompensated hypothyroidism (myxedema coma) are two forms of shock caused by dysfunction of the endocrine system. Adrenal crisis may be due to primary adrenal insufciency (Addisonian crisis) or secondary adrenal insufciency.

14.4.2 Cardiogenic

Cardiogenic shock can be classied into three categories, which include cardiomyo­pathic, arrhythmic, and mechanical. Cardiogenic shock is primarily due to intrinsic cardiac pump failure, which may be due to many causes. Patients in cardiogenic shock may present in several ways. Classic cardiogenic shock can present with pul­monary edema, elevated JVP, and cold extremities. Patients, however, may also present without pulmonary edema, especially in the setting of right ventricular fail­ure. Patients may also present with warm extremities in end-stage decompensated heart failure. Edema is another common nding in cardiogenic shock; however, it may not be present, especially in isolated acute left ventricular failure. Bedside ultrasound is a particularly useful tool available to clinicians to identify cardiac dys­function at the bedside [55, 56]. Pulmonary ultrasound is useful in evaluating for pulmonary edema, which may be represented by B lines on lung ultrasound, as seen in Fig.14.1 [58]. As discussed above, mixed venous or central venous oxygen satu­ration is classically low. Lactic acid may or may not be elevated, but an elevation in lactic acid is linked with mortality [14]. More invasive hemodynamic measurements obtained using devices like the PA catheter may show elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, elevated central venous pressure, low cardiac output, and low car­diac index.
Cardiogenic shock can be classied into three categories, which include cardio­myopathic, arrhythmic, and mechanical.
Cardiomyopathic causes include acute ischemia, chronic ischemia, dilated car­diomyopathy, post-cardiac arrest myocardial stunning, myocarditis, takotsubo car­diomyopathy, sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy, and post-cardiopulmonary bypass.

Both tachyarrhythmias and bradyarrhythmias may cause cardiogenic shock and may be of atrial or ventricular origin. Arrhythmias may be the primary etiology of shock or contribute to another shock state, such as atrial brillation with rapid ven­tricular response in a patient with septic shock.
Mechanical causes of cardiogenic shock include acute or acute on chronic valvu­lar pathology, most commonly mitral or aortic. These may be stenotic or regurgita­tive lesions. Causes include chronic degeneration, masses, endocarditis, papillary muscle rupture, chordae tendineae rupture, retrograde aortic dissection into the aor­tic valve ring, and more. Another mechanical cause is cardiac masses such as atrial myxomas. Cardiac masses may impair outow, cause valve incompetence, cause impaired contractility, or cause impaired cardiac compliance.

14.4.3 Hypovolemic

Hypovolemic shock is due to intravascular volume depletion. This results in decreased preload, decreased stroke volume, and decreased cardiac output. As a result, systemic vascular resistance is high. Lactic acid is often elevated. Mixed venous oxygen saturation is low, as discussed above. Clinically, patients exhibit tachycardia, narrow pulse pressure, weak pulses, low JVP, and cool skin.

Hypovolemic shock can broadly be categorized as hemorrhagic and nonhemor­rhagic. The most common causes of hemorrhagic shock are gastrointestinal bleed­ing, trauma, and bleeding related to surgery. Nonhemorrhagic hypovolemic shock has many etiologies, which include major burns, vomiting, diarrhea, and insensible losses during surgery.

14.4.4 Obstructive

Obstructive shock is due to extracardiac causes that impair ow into or out of the heart. Often, these pathologies are associated with either right ventricular (RV) fail­ure or impaired right ventricular and right atrial lling. Mixed venous oxygen satu­ration will typically be low. Hemodynamically, this typically manifests with narrow pulse pressure, elevated CVP, and elevated SVR. Cardiac output and cardiac index will be low. Lactic acid, as in other causes of shock, is often elevated. Physical exam ndings are variable and based on the etiology of obstructive shock, which will be discussed below. Obstructive shock can best be broken down into two categories, which include pulmonary vascular obstruction and mechanical obstruction.
Pulmonary vascular causes of obstructive shock primarily include pulmonary embolism and pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary embolism from venous throm­boembolism causes acute right heart failure via several mechanisms. There is an acute increase in pulmonary vascular resistance from thrombus obstructing pulmo­nary arterial blood ow. In addition to this, there is the release of vasoactive media­tors, which results in pulmonary vascular vasoconstriction. The RV subsequently cannot pump blood forward effectively. This results in decreased left ventricular preload and cardiac output. In addition to this, the RV will become dilated, which has several adverse effects. Signicant right ventricular dilation will result in com­pression of the LV, further decreasing LV preload and cardiac output. In addition to this, RV dilation increases RV systolic and end-diastolic pressure, which decreases coronary perfusion in the RV and results in worsening RV dysfunction. The resul­tant decrease in LV preload and cardiac output contributes to hypotension, which further decreases RV coronary perfusion. This can result in rapid hemodynamic collapse. RV dysfunction may also be further exacerbated by hypoxemia, acidosis, and positive-pressure ventilation, as these all result in increased pulmonary vascular resistance [59]. Pulmonary hypertension is a less common cause of pulmonary vas­cular obstructive shock. Pulmonary hypertension may be due to primary pulmonary hypertension or a wide variety of other causes. The physiology of shock secondary to decompensated pulmonary hypertension is similar to that of pulmonary embo­lism [60]. Lastly, volume overload, sickle cell acute chest syndrome, and hypox­emic respiratory failure can also result in acute right ventricular failure and obstructive shock.
Mechanical causes of obstructive shock are somewhat broad, but most com­monly include pericardial tamponade and tension pneumothorax. Pericardial tam­ponade can be acute (i.e., traumatic cardiac injury, aortic dissection, LV free wall

rupture) or chronic (i.e., malignant effusion, uremia, infectious, inammatory). Cardiac tamponade causes shock by compressing the cardiac chambers, which impairs their ability to ll as well as provide cardiac output. The rate at which tam­ponade causes hemodynamic collapse is related to the rate at which uid accumu­lates. For example, in the case of LV free wall rupture, aortic dissection, and traumatic cardiac injuries, blood may accumulate rapidly, and the pericardium does not have time to stretch and accommodate pericardial uid. This results in rapid compression of the cardiac chambers and hemodynamic collapse. Chronic effu­sions, however, build slowly over time, allowing the pericardium to stretch and accommodate more uid. There is a point, however, where the pericardium cannot accommodate more uid, and tamponade physiology ensues [61]. Pericardial tam­ponade is primarily a clinical diagnosis, though physical exam and diagnostic test­ing are essential for aiding in making the diagnosis. On exam, patients will typically have tachycardia, hypotension, and jugular venous pressure (JVP) elevation. Echocardiography is essential in diagnosing tamponade. Echocardiography helps determine the presence, location, and characteristics of an effusion; however, it also aids in assessing the hemodynamic signicance of an effusion. Supportive ndings on echocardiography include a dilated inferior vena cava, diastolic collapse of the right atrium or right ventricle, left-sided chamber collapse, and respiratory varia­tions in volumes or ows [62]. Ultimately, the diagnosis of tamponade can only be conrmed through hemodynamic improvement after pericardial drainage.
Tension pneumothorax is another common mechanical cause of obstructive shock. When a large amount of air accumulates between the lung and chest wall, this may cause compression of the inferior vena cava (IVC), superior vena cava (SVC), and cardiac chambers. This will result in impaired cardiac lling. This may be exacerbated by positive-pressure ventilation, as pneumothorax on positive pres­sure is more likely to increase in size [63]. Large intrathoracic tumors may cause compression of the great veins, resulting in decreased cardiac lling (Fig. 14.2, Table14.4).

14.5 Management

Any patient presenting with shock needs a detailed history and physical to evaluate the etiology of shock while simultaneously initiating resuscitation to improve sur­vival. The steps in management are outlined in Flowchart 14.2. Early stabilization should include management of airway, breathing, and circulation in a critically ill patient. Adequate oxygenation should be maintained, and oxygen may be adminis­tered if oxygen saturation (sO
) is less than 92%. If unable to treat hypoxia, patients
2
may need endotracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation.
Two peripheral wide-bore IV access should be established and uid resuscitation initiated immediately. In many cases, central venous catheters may be necessary for infusing vasopressors and inotropes and also obtaining ScV02 values. Crystalloids are preferred as the uid of choice. Fluid boluses can be given with close monitor­ing for uid overload with the use of POCUS or invasive monitoring. Early blood transfusion should be considered in cases of acute blood loss or if severe anemia is affecting oxygen delivery. The target of resuscitation is to maintain a mean arterial pressure (MAP) above or equal to 65mmHg.
Studies have shown that longer duration of MAP less than 65mmHg is an inde­pendent predictor of mortality in septic shock [65]. Research favors early adminis­tration of vasopressors, and it is recommended in septic shock, for improving perfusion, improving organ blood ow distribution, and decreasing the need for IV uid and thus avoiding uid overload [66]. Norepinephrine is the vasopressor of choice and may be started via a peripheral line in an emergency. Initiation of

vasopressors should not be delayed till central venous access is established. Consider the use of inotropes (dobutamine or milrinone) if there is evidence of poor cardiac contractility/cardiogenic shock. Epinephrine is used as a drug of choice in anaphy­lactic shock.
Adequacy of resuscitation should be frequently assessed by the use of surrogate markers like urine output with a goal of at least 0.5mL/kg/h or capillary rell time less than 5 s. Restoration of adequacy of tissue perfusion is assessed by lactate clearance and maintaining of ScVO2 above 70%.
Concomitant treatment of the underlying etiology of shock is of paramount importance. In patients with hypovolemic shock, early efforts should be directed towards controlling the source of bleeding and uid loss. If distributive shock is suspected to be secondary to sepsis, collect cultures, administer broad-spectrum antibiotics, and control the source of infection to correct septic shock. Coronary revascularization and mechanical circulatory support like extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or ventricular assist devices (VADs) should be considered when treating cardiogenic shock secondary to myocardial ischemia. When obstruc­tive shock is diagnosed, pericardiocentesis should be done if evidence of cardiac tamponade and thrombolysis/pulmonary thrombectomy should be attempted if shock is secondary to massive pulmonary embolism. Chest tubes may be necessary to reverse pneumothorax.

14.6 Conclusion

Shock is a manifestation of poor organ perfusion and thus an imbalance of oxygen demand and supply to the tissues. Low blood pressure is not equivalent to shock. Prompt recognition and treatment have been shown to improve survival. Treatment includes rapid resuscitation to achieve hemodynamic stability and restore organ per­fusion, along with treatment of the underlying cause of shock. If untreated, shock can lead to multiorgan failure and death.
