NURN 155 ASSESSMENT PERFUSION MARY CHRISTINE COX, MS, RN, NPD-BC, CLC, CHC OBJECTIVES By the end of this presentation the student will be able to: 1. Define perfusion. 2. Identify at least 3 modifiable risk factors. 3. Discuss normal and abnormal findings in the physical assessment. 4. Verbalize considerations for patients with perfusion disturbances. DEFINITION Perfusion: the flow of blood through arteries and capillaries delivering nutrients and oxygen to the cells and removing cellular waste  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeRo-ScRG8E PERFUSION ASSESSMENT Cognition Vital Signs Heart Sounds/apical Pulse Pulses Health interview/subjective data  Elevated Serum lipids Hypertension Tobacco use MODIFIABLE Physical inactivity RISK Obesity Diabetes FACTORS Metabolic syndrome Psychological states High stress Personally – hypertension, elevated cholesterol or triglycerides, heart murmur, PERSONAL congenital heart disease, rheumatic fever, anemia AND FAMILY CARDIAC Family – hypertension, obesity, HISTORY diabetes, coronary artery disease, sudden death at a young age Dyspnea, cough Fatigue Cyanosis/Pallor HISTORY Edema Medication – prescription, OTC HISTORY SLEEP PATTERNS – ELIMINATION – ORTHOPNEA, NOCTURIA, PAROXYSMAL CONSTIPATION NOCTURNAL DYSPNEA, SLEEP APNEA LEG PAIN OR CRAMPS SKIN CHANGES AUSCULTATI ON Bell – low pitched sounds Diaphragm – high pitched sounds AUSCULTATI ON Normal heart sounds (S1 & S2) Extra heart sounds (S3, S4) Dysrhythmias Murmurs  AUSCULTATION POINTS OF THE HEART HEART SOUNDS: S1, S2, S3, S4 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XqPm3Sx0HY4 HEART SOUNDS HEART MURMURS INSPECTION & PALPATION - APICAL Palpate the apical impulse or PMI: point of maximal impulse Located 4th-5th intercostal space, midclavicular line Apex of heart Pulsation coincides with carotid pulse HTTPS://WWW.GOOGLE.COM/SEARCH?

This rarely abates with pressure; swelling will and does not pit with pressure abate with treatment PITTING EDEMA BRAWNY EDEMA DOPPLER Doppler Ultrasonic stethoscope Detect a weak peripheral pulse Measure a low blood pressure Magnifies pulsatile sounds TEDS Thromboembolic device Elastic stockings Aid in maintaining external pressure on the muscles of lower extremities to promote venous return Measure calf for correct size SCD’S Sequential compression stockings Alternately inflates (10-15 sec)and deflates (45-60 sec) Decreases venous stasis by increasing venous return LABORATORY STUDIES Neurohormone secreted in response to elevated ventricular pressure.
