FCCS TEST Q&A
What is the first indicator of critical Tachypnea
illness
Evidence of decreased perfusion AMS, Urine output, skin temperature
include?
DIRECT Detection, intervention, Reassessment, effective communication, teamwork
Late sign of circulatory demise hypotension
Important indicator of critical illness Metabolic acidosis -> lactacte measurement -> anaerobic metabolism
What does metabolic acidosis suggest? hypo perfusion
1st priority in managing a critical patient Stabilize first, then determine diagnosis and definitive treatment
Define Sepsis life-threatening organ dysfunction cause by host response to infection
Clinical sepsis requiring vasopressors to maintain a MAP > 65mmHg and La
Define Septic Shock
> 2mmol/L despite volume resuscitation
Most common clinical presentation of Fever (hypothermia has very poor prognosis)
infection
Morbidity related to sepsis can be AMS, SBP < 100mmHg, RR > 22
