Distributive Shock

Q) What is not seen in Distributive Shock?

a) High central venous pressure

b) High Cardiac output

c) High Base deficit

d) High Mixed Venous Saturation

MCQs on Shock and Body Response 

Ans a 

In Distributive shock Systemic vascular resistance and venous pressure are low ( because of vasodilation)

All other parameters are high

Distributive Shock Symptoms

Vasodilation

Warm peripheries

Hypotension

Causes of Distributive Shock are

  1. Anaphylaxis
  2. High spinal cord injury
  3. Septic shock
  4. Toxic Shock Syndrome
  5. The distributive shock from adrenal insufficiency occurs due to decreased alpha-1 receptor expression on arterioles secondary to cortisol deficiency, which results in vasodilation. This is seen in patients on chronic steroids that are stopped suddenly.

Take the practice MCQ tests  ( Some are free). Others are for Premium Members

Take the free image based mock test 

Ans b Grade III

Grade 1
Subcapsular haematoma <10% of surface area
Parenchymal laceration <1 cm depth Capsular tear
Grade 2
Subcapsular haematoma 10–50% of surface area; Intraparenchymal haematoma <5 cm
Parenchymal laceration 1–3 cm
Grade 3
Subcapsular haematoma >50% surface area; ruptured subcapsular or intraparenchymal haematoma ≥5 cm Parenchymal laceration >3 cm depth
Grade 4
Any injury in the presence of a splenic vascular
injury or active bleeding confned within the splenic
capsule
Parenchymal laceration involving segmental or hilar
vessels producing >25% devascularisation
Grade 5
Any injury in the presence of splenic vascular injurya
with active bleeding extending beyond the spleen
into the peritoneum – shattered spleen
Vascular injury is defined as a pseudoaneurysm or arteriovenous fistula and appears as a focal collection of vascular contrast that decreases in attenuation with delayed imaging.
Active bleeding from a vascular injury presents as vascular contrast, focal or diffuse, that
increases in size or attenuation in the delayed phase
