Perfusion Level Z S. Wilson Concept: Perfusion Definition: “The flow of blood through arteries and capillaries delivering nutrients and oxygen to cells.” (Giddens, 2022, p. 165). Alterations in perfusion may impair the circulation of blood through the tissues. Objectives 1. Principles of perfusion 2. Risk factors related to alterations in perfusion 3. Prevention strategies related to altered perfusion 4. Assessment and diagnostics 5. Clinical judgment related to alterations in perfusion Exemplars: hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, preeclampsia Pharmacology Alpha Adrenergic Adrenergic blockers (ex. Atenolol, metoprolol) Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors (ex. Lisinopril) Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ex.Losartan, valsartan) Calcium Channel Blockers (ex. Diltiazem, Cardizem) Vasodilators (Nitrates) Diuretics (Loop, Potassium sparing, Thiazide) Magnesium Sulfate Cardiac Output Cardiac Output = Heart Rate X Stroke Volume · Superior how does rate vena cava · Output?
