-reduced CO results in a reduction of oxygenated blood reaching the body tissues, creating a systemic effect **If severe, associated with shock **If untreated, leads to ischemia, cell injury, and cell death. impaired tissue perfusion associated with loss of vessel patency or permeability, or inadequate central perfusion **results in impaired blood flow to the affected body tissue causing a localized effect. -->leads to ischemia and ultimately cell death if uncorrected. population risk factors for impaired perfusion -middle age and older adults -Males -African American, -infants with congenital heart defects -people with trauma individual risk factors for impaired perfusion smoking obesity sedentary lifestyle chronic disease traumatic brain injury heart disease MI thrombus PE impaired perfusion in infants poor feeding poor weight gain failure to thrive dusky color fatigue SOB pain impaired perfusion in toddlers and children squatting and fatigue to improve perfusion developmental delay creatinine kinase and IP enzyme found in the brain, skeletal muscle, and heart muscle.
