Procedimento operacional padrão: abordagem e manejo do paciente com hipotensão arterial sistêmica

Abstract

The standard operating procedure (SOP) is a type of document that seeks to standardize a certain procedure, so that there is optimization and effectiveness of it, since in a hospital environment it is necessary to align therapeutic conduct, aiming at the well-being of the patient, mainly in emergency cases, such as the approach and management of hypotensive patients, who are at imminent risk of death if stabilization is not carried out correctly. The approach and management of hypotensive patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) sector are complex and multifactorial, in addition to requiring speed in deciding on therapeutic approaches that will be definitive to ensure the patient's stabilization. Therefore, creating a SOP to establish a flowchart that directs the responsible veterinarian is extremely important, as this way there is early recognition of the situation, an increase in the optimization and effectiveness of the chosen therapy, in addition to reducing the percentage of errors made when faced with a emergency situation.
