Physiologic Alterations
- Increased catabolism
- insulin resistence ->hyperglycemia
- decreased immune & allergic response
- sodium & water retention, inc. blood volume
- increased metabolic rate
To correct Hypoxia
- Give oxygen
- monitor saturation
- may need intubation and mechanical ventilation
Improve CO
optimize preload, contractility, and afterload
antidysrhythmics, fluids/diuretics, inotropes, vaodilators, correct electrolyte imbalance
Improve oxygen carrying capacity
blood/blood products
Decrease metabolic demands
relieve pain, reduce anxiety, keep warm & dry, control fever, allow rest, suction if needed, use sedation or neuromuscular blockade
Psychosocial alterations are influenced by
culture developmental stage general health social support personality financial resources, and previous experiences
Alterations in consciousness
- Alteration in circadian rhythms
- Sensory deprivation and overload
- ICU syndrome
- Medications, intoxications
- Fluid & electrolyte disturbances
- hypoxia, decreased CO
- infection
- age >60
- sleep pattern disturbances
- nutritional deficiencies
- metabolic or endocrine disorders
- brain injury or neruological disorder
Depolarizing tranquilizer
Succinylcholine (Anectine, Etomidate)
