Assessing Your Patients Perfusion Without Elaborate Equipment
Assessing Your Patients Perfusion Without Elaborate Equipment is organized by American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN).
Released/Updated: Nov 21, 2021
Expires: May 31, 2026
Activity Summary:
Your patient just doesn’t look right. You don’t have invasive measures to evaluate hemodynamics and perfusion. What do you do? This intermediate-level session looks at non-invasive measures you know but may not think of to evaluate the patient’s status. It covers the body’s mechanisms to regulate perfusion, non-invasive assessment, and evidence-based management strategies. Several case studies are used to integrate the information and enhance early intervention skills.
Objectives:
• Identify the normal mechanisms of the body to maintain perfusion to vital organs.
• Assess the hemodynamic status of patients utilizing physical assessment findings, vital signs, laboratory results, and acid-base status.
• Discuss early evidence-based management based on your assessment.
Topics: Cardiovascular, Hemodynamics, Monitoring
