When resuscitating a severely hypovolemic patient, when should blood products be
considered?
A) after 4-6 litres of crystalloids have been infused and the patient remains unstable
B) after 2-3 litres of crystalloids have been infused and the patient remains unstable
C) only when obvious deadly bleeding is observed
D) only when the serum blood test results reveal a severely low hgb
Give this one a try later!
B) after 2-3 liters of crystalloids have been infused and the patient remains
unstable
Why do we look for criteria of SIRS on initial presentation of patients?
Give this one a try later!
, Early recognition can lead to early treatment and decrease mortality in the
sepsis continuum
Waiting for signs of septic shock leads to poorer patient outcomes
Prompt assessment and treatment of patients with SIRS can prevent sepsis
and patient admission which decreases overcrowding in the ER
An elderly patient presents to the ED with vomiting and abdominal pain. The patient is
sitting up, speaking in full sentences with no WOB. His radial pulse is rapid and his skin
is warm and dry. His peripheral cap refill is 3 seconds. His vital signs are HR 102, BP
110/70, RR 22, O2 97% on RA, and his temperature is 37.2. What best describes what
shock state this patient is in?

Compensated Shock
You are following the sepsis protocol and giving fluid boluses to maintain a MAP of
65. The patient has received almost 3 liters of fluids. What assessment finding would
indicate an oxygenation problem?
A) weak peripheral pulses
B) crackles heard throughout the lung areas
C) capillary refill time of 4 seconds
D) petechiae or purpura
Give this one a try later!
B) crackles heard throughout the lung areas
What is the priority medication that targets the laryngeal edema and
bronchoconstriciotn of anayphylaxis?
