HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK CONCEPT MAP ASSESSMENT NURSING DIAGNOSIS
ASSESSMENT PHARMACOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT
-Assess Vital signs LABORATORY AND DIAGNOSTIC TEST
-Assess mental status TREATMENT LAB/DIAGNOSTIC TEST
-Determine the mechanism of injury and any information that may heighten suspicion of -Blood testing
-CT scan or ultrasound
certain injuries.
-Echocardiogram NURSING INTERVENTIONS
-Assess peripheral pulses
-Monitor Urinary Output -Electrocardiogram
- Assess for: -Endoscopy
abdominal pain blood in the stool black, tarry stool (melena), blood in the urine, vomiting -Right heart catheterization
blood, chest pain and abdominal swelling
NURSING DIAGNOSIS TREATMENT
-Deficient Fluid Volume related to active blood loss MEDICAL
-Deficient Fluid Volume related to interstitial fluid shift -Fluid administration (Intravenous crystalloids)
-Decreased Cardiac Output related to alterations in preload - Aggressive fluid resuscitation
-Imbalanced Nutrition: Less Than Body Requirements related to - Blood transfusion
increased metabolic demands or lack of exogenous nutrients - Blood plasma transfusion
-Risk for Infection -Platelet transfusion
-Red blood cell transfusion
NURSING INTERVENTIONS PHARMACOLOGICAL
Minimizing fluid loss, administering volume replacement, assessing response to therapy, providing -Vasoconstrictors
comfort and emotional support, and preventing and maintaining surveillance for complications. -Vasodilators
Measures to minimize fluid loss include limiting blood sampling, observing lines for accidental - Antidysrhythmics
disconnection, and applying direct pressure to bleeding sites. - Inotropes
Measures to facilitate the administration of volume replacement include insertion of large-bore
peripheral intravenous catheters, rapid administration of prescribed fluids, and positioning the patient SURGICAL
with the legs elevated, trunk flat, and head and shoulders above the chest. - Radiographically guided percutaneous intervention (IR)
Monitoring the patient for clinical manifestations of fluid overload or complications related to fluid and
blood product administration is essential for preventing further problems. ALTERNATIVE
Prevent further injury, transport the patient to the hospital
as rapidly as possible, and initiate appropriate treatment in
the field. Direct pressure should be applied to external
bleeding vessels to prevent further blood loss.
