Hemodynamic Instability: Management

Haemodynamic instability refers to a state where a person's circulatory system is unable to maintain adequate blood flow and perfusion to vital organs, often resulting in a critical medical condition. This instability can manifest as low blood pressure, rapid heart rate, altered mental status, and...

• Hemodynamic instability is a critical care issue best understood through the concept of "shock," defined by an imbalance between oxygen supply and demand at the organ level, leading to organ dysfunction. Blood pressure readings alone are insufficient for diagnosis, as patients may present with normal or even high BP while still experiencing shock. The core of shock lies in impaired tissue perfusion.
