Hey guys, in this video I’ll show you an easy algorithm to approach shock questions of the USMLE Step 1 that involve those up and down arrows, including how to differentiate septic shock, cardiogenic shock, obstructive shock and hypovolemic shock. Hopefully after this video, you wouldn’t get those questions wrong again!

Could you please explain what happens in cardiac tamponade? Im confused whether PCWP is increased or decreased as its obstructive shock?

[@acingmedicine]

In Tamponade it’s increased. You can watch my video on tamponade here kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2WugmSDodF-ldk

[@andremarques6872]

PCWP is decreased in tamponade because the surrounding blood compresses the heart preventing it from filling properly. So blood pools backwards into the venous system ?

[@acingmedicine]

@@andremarques6872 PCWP is a measure of left atrial pressure. Since the heart is smothered by surrounding fluid in tamponade, the left ventricle can’t properly contract and empty the blood. the blood in the left atrium backs up and can’t be moved to the left ventricle increasing left atrial pressure . That’s my understanding, please recheck

[@yasmeenyasmeen2911]

@@acingmedicine The pressure will decrease bcz all chambers will be be compressed and all chambers will show decrease pressure including the left atrium , thats what says boards and beyond

[@yasmeenyasmeen2911]

Correction of what i said Sorry for mistake that was typed Pcwp will increase bcz all chambers will compressed from pericardial fluids so this will rise pressure in all chambers 🤭🤭🤭
