1) Analyze processes that impact oxygenation and perfusion
3) Appraise common signs and symptoms of altered oxygenation and perfusion
4) Describe diagnostics, treatment modalities, and nursing intervention relevant to altered perfusion
5) Explore the pathophysiologic reasons for clinical manifestations and management of alterations in oxygenation and perfusion
Required readings and resources:
Sorenson, M., Quinn, L., & Klein, D. (2019). Pathophysiology: Concepts of human disease. Pearson Education.
Pages 422 – 423; and pages 532 – 533.
Read chapters 17 – 27 focusing on sections as needed for your Health Alteration Analysis and substantive additions
Optional Resources:
Take a look in the Additional Resources Specific to Pathophysiology folder in the course shell and search for topics related to oxygenation and perfusion
David Woodruff, MSN, RN-BC, CNS, CNE has published a number of excellent presentations on youtube. I am no longer linking them into specific modules as they are nearly or more than ten years old, and most are lengthy. However, if you want more detail on a specific concept, go to youtube and enter David Woodruff in the search bar. His videos are excellent in explaining pathophysiology
Alilia Medical Media is a valuable Youtube channel with lots and lots of excellent and short videos. I have not watched all of them, but what I have watched are excellent. Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/c/Alilamedicalmedia/videos
Osmosis is another Youtube channel I have found valuable. Again, I have not watched all of them, but what I have seen has been good. As an example, I was challenged trying to understand the cytokine storm we heard much about during COVID. Osmosis has a video (just over 10 minutes long) that helped me. Here is the link to Osmosis https://www.youtube.com/c/osmosis/videos
The Khan Academy has a lot of engaging videos. Those I have viewed are high quality and accurate. I find this site a little more challenging to navigate than Alilamedicalmedia or Osmosis. You can start your investigation at https://www.khanacademy.org/
‘Crash Course’ videos on Youtube can provide a nice overview before you get started reviewing professional evidence based resources. Go to youtube and then in the search bar, enter ‘crash course pathophysiology’.
