Hypovolemic Shock
Dr. I. A. Lee
Functions of Pregnancy-Induced Hypervolemia 1. To meet the demands of the enlarged uterus with its hypertrophied vascular system 2. To protect the mother and fetus against deleterious effects of impaired venous return in the supine and erect position 3. To safeguard the mother against the adverse effects of blood loss associated with parturition Hypovolemic Shock
Dr. I. A. Lee
Causes of Hemorrhage in Pregnant Women 1. Bleeding from genital tract (antepartum hemorrhage) •
Ruptured ectopic pregnancy, Molar pregnancy, Abortion, Placenta previa, abruptio placenta, Postpartum hemorrhage
2. Intra/Postpartum •
Retained placenta, uterine atony, uterine rupture, post CS hemorrhage, lower genital tract injury
3. Others •
Subcapsular hematoma of the liver, coagulopathy (AF embolism), trauma, GI bleeding, ruptured aneurysm, burns Hypovolemic Shock Dr. I. A. Lee

Baroreceptor reflexes eliciting sympathetic stimulation within 30 seconds after hemorrhage CNS ischemic response eliciting sympathetic stimulation occurring 10-60 minutes Absorption of large quantities of fluid from intestinal tract and interstitial spaces Conservation of water and salt by the kidney

Management of Hypovolemic Shock • Pre hospital care – Prevent further injury – Transport immediately to hospital – Initiate appropriate treatment without delaying transport (adequate airway, ventilation, and circulation)
• Emergency department care – Maximize O2 delivery – Control further blood loss – Fluid resuscitation Hypovolemic Shock

Therapy Ventilate
Purpose
Adequate pulmona CO2 and O2 exchange Infusion Blood, fluid, electrolyte balance Pump Restoration of cardiac competence Pharmacologic Use of vasoactive agents to improve perfusion Specific, Medical and surgical surgical management of primary causes Dr. I. A. Lee
Ventilate • Suspect ventilatory failure (thoracic movement feeble, decreased breath sounds) • Respiratory acidosis pH <7.35, pCO2 >46 torr, pO2 <70 torr, 93 % saturation
• Mechanical assistance of ventilation Hypovolemic Shock
Dr. I. A. Lee
Infuse • To restore adequacy of intravascular blood volume • Hgb 7-10 g/dL • CVP and PAWP- indicate relationship between volume which enter the heart and effectivity of volume ejected by heart • Initial fluid resuscitation- isotonic crystalloid 1-2 L lactated ringers or NSS • Blood component therapy- (pRBC) to improve O2 carrying capacity Hypovolemic Shock
Dr. I. A. Lee
Pump • Evaluate cardiac competence with ECG and CVP

Blood Component Therapy 1. pRBC • • •
Component of choice for anemic hypoxia For rapid transfusion, may dilute with 100 ml normal saline 1 pRBC (300 ml) → 1 g/dL Hgb or Hct 3%
2. Fresh Frozen Plasma • • • • •
Component of whole blood once platelets and cellular elements are removed Frozen at -18 to -30 °C 1u of whole blood → 200 ml ffp From plasma apheresis → 800 ml ffp Contains coagulation factors
Hypovolemic Shock
Dr. I. A. Lee
Blood Component Therapy 3. Cryoprecipitate • • •
Prepared by thawing a unit of ffp at 4°C and collecting the formed precipitate in a concentrated volume of 10-15 ml per bag A bag contains 200 to 300 mg of fibrinogen and 100 units of Factor VIII, vWF, factor XIII and 55 mg fibronectin 10 bags of cryoprecipitate from 10 units of plasma → 2 g fibrinogen raising level to 6570 mg/dL
Hypovolemic Shock
Dr. I. A. Lee
Blood Component Therapy 4. Platelets • •
Obtained from whole blood or by apheresis Indicated for thrombocytopenia or platelet disorders prior to invasive procedures to reach platelet level at 100,000/mm3
•
Platelet count of 50,000/mm3 adequate if platelets are normal Transfusion is initiated for non bleeding patients with platelets 20,000/mm3 or less

Blood Component Therapy 5. Albumin • • •
Used for volume replacement, to bind bilirubin in hemolytic disease of the newborn Albumin replacement cannot replace feeding to improve patients’ nutritional status Low perioperative albumin levels correlate with poor prognosis

Transfusion Complications • Infectious risks – Viral and bacterial
• Immunologic risks – Acute hemolytic reaction, delayed hemolytic reaction, febrile reactions, allergic reactions, transfusion related acute lung injury, post transfusion purpura
• Others – Citrate toxicity, metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia, hypthermia, volume overload
* For every 5-7 units pRBC, give 10-20 ml of 10% calcium gluconate or 2-5 ml of 10% calcium chloride → ionized calcium level Hypovolemic Shock

Summary Reliance on blood pressure and initial hematocrit level rather than signs of decreased peripheral perfusion are errors that lead to failure to recognize hypovolemic shock
Hypovolemic Shock

Hemostasis • Ingenious process that makes blood fluid and free from clots and allows formation of plugs to seal off vessel injury
Thrombosis •A pathologic process whereby there is blood clot formation within an injured vessel
Hypovolemic Shock

Laboratory Diagnosis 1. Fibrinogen level ------ Clot observation test 5ml of blood in a 15ml test tube inverted 4-5 times * clot within 6-12 minutes or stable clot that does not lyse If clot <6mins = fibrinogen level (150mg/100ml) If clot >12mins = fibinogen level (100150mg/100ml) If no clot in 30 mins = fibinogen level (<100mg/100ml) Hypovolemic Shock
