Purpose: stop blood flow through an extremity’s
arteries
Main Use Scenario: stop
bleeding from an injured limb
Arterial and venous blood flow in the limb is stopped.

To stop bleeding so you can do something else (direct pressure “inconvenient”)
Return enemy fire (military/tactical care)Solve an airway problemAttend to other injuries
Attend to another casualtyExtricate from current location (crushed vehicle, machinery entanglement, unsafe
location)Transport to definitive care

20 of 90 IA EMTs with no military experience had used a tourniquet on a limb injury (6 more than once).
Injury Sources: motor vehicle accidents (9), farm equipment (6), manufacturing equipment (4), falls through glass (2), gunshots (2),
chainsaws (2), and stab (1)
Tourniquet Indications: severe hemorrhage, extrication/transport time, injury access, other injuries
Tourniquets Used: blood pressure cuffs (9, only 6 indicated as stopping the bleeding), other improvised (10, only 4 listed as
stopping the bleeding)
Tourniquets have civilian injury relevance.

Between the heart and the injury
The presence of two long bones in the forearm and lower leg does not decrease tourniquet effectiveness for
stopping arterial blood flow as compared to the single long bone in the upper arm and thigh.
Tourniquet placement on a smaller circumference limb location allows easier pressure application to the
underlying arteries.
Place tourniquet(s) just proximal to the injury.

Need to stop arterial blood flow (importance of mechanical advantage)
Are most life saving used before shock
Should be wider than 2.5cm (wider is better so long as stop arterial blood flow, side by side is good)
Should be placed close to the injury (forearm and lower leg are good tourniquet locations)
Need reassessment

Hartford Consensus The American College of Surgeons brought together
senior leaders from medical, law enforcement, fire/rescue and EMS communities to create a strategy to improve survival of the victims of mass casualty shooting events in April, 2013.

Hartford Consensus Threat Suppression
Hemorrhage control
Rapid Extrication to safety
Assessment by medical providers
Transport to definitive care
“Life threatening bleeding from the extremities is best controlled by
early placement of a tourniquet.”
“Life threatening bleeding from penetrating wounds to the chest and
trunk are best addressed through rapid transport to a hospital setting.”
“Improving survival from active shooter events: The Hartford Consensus.”

Etiologies • What are some causes of cardiogenic shock?
• AMI
• Sepsis
• Myocarditis
• Myocardial contusion
• Aortic or mitral stenosis, HCM
• Acute aortic insufficiency

Pathophysiology of Cardiogenic Shock
• Often after ischemia, loss of LV function
• CO reduction = lactic acidosis, hypoxia
• Stroke volume is reduced
• Tachycardia develops as compensation
• Ischemia and infarction worsens

Treatment of Cardiogenic Shock
• Goals- Airway stability and improving myocardial pump function
• Cardiac monitor, pulse oximetry
• Supplemental oxygen, IV access
• Intubation will decrease preload and result in hypotension • Be prepared to give fluid bolus

Treatment of Cardiogenic Shock• AMI
• Aspirin, beta blocker, morphine, heparin• Dopamine – will ↑ HR and thus cardiac work• Dobutamine – May drop blood pressure• Combination therapy may be more effective
• PCI or thrombolytics

Anaphylactic Shock• Anaphylaxis – a severe systemic
hypersensitivity reaction characterized by multisystem involvement
• IgE mediated
• Anaphylactoid reaction – clinically indistinguishable from anaphylaxis, do not require a sensitizing exposure
• Not IgE mediated

Anaphylactic Shock• What are some symptoms of anaphylaxis?
• First- Pruritus, flushing, urticaria appear
•Next- Throat fullness, anxiety, chest tightness, shortness of breath and lightheadedness
•Finally- Altered mental status, respiratory distress and circulatory collapse

Anaphylactic Shock• Risk factors for fatal anaphylaxis
• Poorly controlled asthma
• Previous anaphylaxis
• Reoccurrence rates• 40-60% for insect stings
• 20-40% for radiocontrast agents
• 10-20% for penicillin
• Most common causes• Antibiotics
• Insects
• Food

Anaphylactic Shock• Mild, localized urticaria can progress to full anaphylaxis
• Symptoms usually begin within 60 minutes of exposure
• Faster the onset of symptoms = more severe reaction
• Biphasic phenomenon occurs in up to 20% of patients• Symptoms return 3-4 hours after initial reaction has cleared
• A “lump in my throat” and “hoarseness” heralds life-threatening laryngeal edema

Anaphylactic Shock- Diagnosis• Clinical diagnosis
• Defined by airway compromise, hypotension, or involvement of cutaneous, respiratory, or GI systems
• Look for exposure to drug, food, or insect

Anaphylactic Shock- Treatment• ABC’s
• Angioedema and respiratory compromise require immediate intubation
• IV, cardiac monitor, pulse oximetry
• IVFs, oxygen
• Epinephrine
• Second line• Corticosteriods
• H1 and H2 blockers

Anaphylactic Shock- Treatment
• Epinephrine• 0.3 mg IM of 1:1000 (epi-pen)
• Repeat every 5-10 min as needed
• Caution with patients taking beta blockers- can cause severe hypertension due to unopposed alpha stimulation
• For CV collapse, 1 mg IV of 1:10,000
• If refractory, start IV drip

Neurogenic Shock • Occurs after acute spinal cord injury
• Sympathetic outflow is disrupted leaving unopposed vagal tone
• Results in hypotension and bradycardia
• Spinal shock- temporary loss of spinal reflex activity below a total or near total spinal cord injury (not the same as neurogenic shock, the terms are not interchangeable)

Neurogenic Shock • Loss of sympathetic tone results in warm and dry skin
• Shock usually lasts from 1 to 3 weeks
• Any injury above T1 can disrupt the entire sympathetic system
• Higher injuries = worse paralysis

Neurogenic Shock- Treatment• A,B,Cs
• Remember c-spine precautions
• Fluid resuscitation• Keep MAP at 85-90 mm Hg for first 7 days• Thought to minimize secondary cord injury• If crystalloid is insufficient use vasopressors
• Search for other causes of hypotension• For bradycardia
• Atropine• Pacemaker

Obstructive Shock• Cardiac tamponade
• Blood in pericardial sac prevents venous return to and contraction of heart
• Related to trauma, pericarditis, MI
• Beck’s triad: hypotension, muffled heart sounds, JVD
• Diagnosis: large heart CXR, echo
• Rx: Pericardiocentisis

Obstructive Shock• Pulmonary embolism
• Virscow triad: hypercoaguable, venous injury, venostasis
• Signs: Tachypnea, tachycardia, hypoxia
• Low risk: D-dimer
• Higher risk: CT chest or VQ scan
• Rx: Heparin, consider thrombolytics

The Golden HourRapid Resuscitation
restores circulating volume
improves oxygen delivery
prevents cellular ischemia and tissue necrosis
prevents onset of secondary cellular injury
prevents onset of MODS

The Golden HourShock Pathophysiology
prolonged hypoperfusion creates a vicious cycle of ischemia and shock
2 most important steps in managing shock:
1. recognition
2. treatment

Goals of Treatment
• ABCDE
• Airway
• control work of Breathing
• optimize Circulation
• assure adequate oxygen Delivery
• achieve End points of resuscitation
