Hypovolemia

Question 1: Hypovolemia can be due to many predisposing factors such as fracture and surgery. The patient experienced a type of open fracture which is categorize by a wound in combination with the fracture (Whiteing, N., 2008, p. 50). Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) is the most common surgical technique for patients with open fracture which also includes tibia and fibula (William, L & Hopper, P., 2011, p. 1071). Since it was a major surgery massive blood loss or hypovolemia can be experience

to blood or plasma or body fluids loss (Kettley & Marsh, 2016, p. 31; Perner & Backer, 2014, p. 613). Blood loss can be induced by internal or external injuries, excessive perspiration or diuretics (Craft & et al, 2015, p. 852). Maureen Hardy’s hypovolemia has been precipitated by hematemesis. Maureen shows clinical manifestations such as hypotension (BP 80 mmHg systolic), tachycardia (HR 120 bpm and irregular), tachypnea (Resps 28 bpm), SaO2 unreadable, capillary refill time >4secs, temp 36.5°C

According to the National Trauma Institute, hypovolemic shock is the second leading cause of death in people with traumatic injuries. [1] This makes the initial identification and management of Hypovolemia detrimental to the outcome and survival of many patients involved in traumatic events. Hypovolemia refers to a medical condition in which rapid fluid loss results in multiple organ failure due to inadequate circulating volume and consecutive inadequate perfusion.

Section 1- Justifications 1. According to LeMone et al. (2014), hypovolemia is the ' 'decreased circulating blood volume ' '. the body will compensate by constricting blood vessels and raising heart rate, and if the volume is low enough, shunting blood to vital areas (the brain, the heart) from less vital areas (skin, muscles, digestive tract, even the kidneys.) according to Nolan, Pullinger, Bath, & Oxford ( 2014), hypovolemia can lead to hypovolemic shock; where a person can lose up to 20 percent

hypoxic cell injury. If hypovolemia is present, the body will first shunt the blood away from less critical organs such as the GI tract in order to maintain perfusion of critical organs such as the brain, the heart system, and the kidneys. If hypovolemia and tissue hypoperfusion are severe enough, major organ damage will occur as a result of hypoxia (Copstead & Banasik, 2013). This patient experienced clear signs of systemic tissue hypoperfusion secondary to severe hypovolemia as evidenced by his syncopal

(CRD) will face a multitude of social and physiological challenges, and it’s important to understand that the chronic nature of CRD is the basis for most of them. Within hours of the onset of symptoms, isotonic dehydration will rapidly lead to hypovolemia and consequently; tachycardia, hypertension, delayed capillary refill and slightly reduced blood flow to the brain. In these early stages of dehydration and mild hypovolemic shock - the body, while not performing optimally, is within its homeostatic

Roman soldier flogged Jesus the next day, his skin would be oversensitive. As the scourging continues, his back would become shredded from his shoulders to his legs. He would have bled so much that he would have gone into hypovolemic shock. Hypovolemia makes the heart beat faster, the blood pressure drops, the kidneys shut down, and he would be very thirsty. Jesus would be in severe to critical condition just from the beating. At the site of the crucifixion, Jesus would have been laid down

The learning objective to be addressed in this essay is to be more adept at filling out a fluid balance chart and understand its importance. I intend to use the Driscoll (2007) reflective cycle as I find the root process of interrogating and assessing events the most helpful at being reflective. The fluid and electrolyte balance monitoring and management are essential and highly significant to nursing care as highlighted by Jevon and Ewens (2007). Patients suffering from a negative fluid balance

1.Mr. P presents abdominal pain in the left lower quadrant, which extended to the middle of the abdomen. I would say that Mr. P has hypovolemic shock. Hypovolemic shock occurs when the circulating blood volume is inadequate to fill the vascular network. Intravascular volume deficits can be triggered by eternal or internal losses of either blood or fluids. This can result to lack of oxygen transport and nutrients to tissue. The severity of hypovolemic shock depends on the volume deficit, the acuity

Meagan Moss Shock is defined as a state of collapse and failure or the cardiovascular system. The medical term of shock is hypoperfusion. While in the beginning of shock, the body tries to maintain homeostasis. As the stages of shock progress, the blood circulation slows and may eventually cease. Shock generally is most commonly associated with traumatic events but may also occur due to a medical event as well. If the symptoms of shock are not immediately taken care of, the patient will soon be
