Obstructive Shock Final Edit

1) Obstructive shock can be caused by massive pulmonary embolism, aortic dissection, cardiac tamponade, or tension pneumothorax. 2) Massive pulmonary embolism is usually caused by deep vein thrombosis and can be investigated with D-dimer, CTPA, and ultrasound of the legs. Treatment involves anticoagulants, thrombolytics, or embolectomy. 3) Cardiac tamponade causes acute heart failure due to compression of the heart chambers and is commonly seen in disseminating aortic aneurysms or pericarditis. Diagnosis is mainly clinical and treatment involves pericardiocentesis or pericardiectomy.

ACUTE HEART FAILURE DUE TO COMPRESSION
OF THE HEART CHAMBER BY A LARGE OR
RAPIDLY DEVELOPING EFFSUION (EXUDATE/
TRANSUDATE OR BLOOD AND LEADING TO A
DECREASE IN CARDIAC OUTPUT AND SHOCK.

• CAUSES:DISSECTING AORTIC ANEURYSM


(THORACIC), END-STAGE LUNG CANCER,
(ACUTE MI), HEART SURGERY,
PERICARDITIS, BLUNT TRAUMA.

• SYMPTOMS: TACHYCARDIA, , DROWSINESS,


SHARP PAIN IN THE CHEST, BACK, ABDOMEN,
OR SHOULDER

• DIAGNOSIS: MAINLY CLINICALLY ASSESSED

• INVESTIGATIONS:ECHO, CXR-WATER

• IMMEDIATE SURGERY IS NEEDED FOR TYPE A AORTIC DISSECTION
• TYPE B AORTIC DISSECTION REQUIRES EMERGENCY SURGERY IF THE DISSECTION
CUTS OFF BLOOD FLOW TO YOUR VITAL ORGANS.

• LESS SEVERE CASES MAY BE TREATED WITH MEDICATION-BETABLOCKERS


• GRAFT REPLACEMENT (SURGICAL)
• ENDOVASCULAR STENT-GRAFT REPAIR (SURGICAL)
