sepsis SIRS + infectious source identified; ex. pneumonia, UTI
MODS multi-organ dysfunction syndrome; septic shock + multiple
organ system damage (ex. include acute respiratory distress
syndrome, AKI, low platelets)
adverse reaction from the progressive state disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
of shock
common fluid replacements when crystalloids such as 0.9% normal saline, LR, hypertonic
pertaining to shock solutions (3% hypertonic saline)Colloids: albumin,
dextranblood for hypovolemic shock
ideal mean arterial pressure (MAP) >65

what site in the body is typically accessed radial artery
for intra-arterial blood pressure monitoring?
formula to determine MAP SBP + 2(DBP)/3
secondary MODS organ failure that has no attributable cause and is a
consequence of the host's response (ex: acute respiratory
distress syndrome in an individual with pancreatitis)
what is the goal time to act for time sensitive within 1 hour
initial treatment for sepsis?
Virchow's triad venous stasis, hypercoagulability, endothelial damage
Dopamine is given for cardiogenic shock
dobutamine is given for cariogenic shock, septic shock, stress test
levophed is used for cariogenic shock (not ischemic), anesthesia spinal, septic
shock, hypotension

shock a state of cellular and tissue hypoxia due to either reduced
oxygen delivery, increased oxygen consumption, inadequate
oxygen utilization, or a combination of these processes
SIRS systemic inflammatory response syndrome (severe
bacteremia); inflammatory response such as fever, tachypnea,
tachycardia
septic shock Sepsis + hypotension despite adequate IV fluids
hypovolemic shock shock state resulting from decreased intravascular volume
due to fluid loss
cariogenic shock shock state resulting from impairment or failure of the
myocardium
septic shock circulatory shock state resulting from overwhelming infection
causing relative hypovolemia
