Shock Assessment Framework
- Use the pump, pipe, and tank framework to assess shock.
- This simplifies the differential diagnosis process, enabling quicker treatment.
Pump Problems in Shock
- Cardiogenic and obstructive shock both primarily affect cardiac output.
- Cardiogenic shock originates within the heart, while obstructive shock is external.
POCUS for Cardiogenic Shock
- Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) helps assess cardiogenic shock patients.
- Look for decreased ejection fraction, septal thickening, and right ventricle function.
