Session TitleCritical Care Posters IISESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: Standard textbooks still report conventional classification charts for the shock states. New modalities such as stroke volume variability and pulse pressure variability in addition to the widespread availability and use of ultrasound in modern intensive care units should be included in the schematics for shock management.MethodsCurrent editions of standard textbooks were reviewed for incorporation of dynamic measures of volume responsiveness along with ultrasound based approach into the classification scheme for various shock states. We present an updated scheme for the conceptual classification of shock states based on current measures of volume responsiveness (PPV and SVV) and on stroke volume along with ultrasound findings which add or confirm the diagnosis.ResultsThe results have been prepared in a tabular form (not place able here). We identify the following parameters for the shock states of hypovolemic, cardiogenic, septic, obstructive: Cardiac output/Stoke volume, Systemic Vascular resistance, Conventional preload measures (CVP/PAOP), Stroke volume variation or pulse pressure variation (SVV/PPV). Included in the results table, we characterized the shock states according to the rapid ultrasound in shock (RUSH) protocol with subcategories including: pump, tank, pipes for the four shock states in both early and late phases of shock.ConclusionsNewer variables classifying shock are not included in standard textbooks. We propose the new classification scheme utilizing bedside ultrasound and functional hemodynamic variables (Table1).Clinical ImplicationsThe use of newer modalities such as stroke volume variability and pulse pressure variability as well as bedside ultrasound are invaluable tools for the assessment of critical care. As these assessment tools have become mainstream, we feel that they should be added to standard tables characterizing shock states.DisclosureThe following authors have nothing to disclose: Ramakant sharma, William McGee, Adam AdlerNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
