In addition to the suggested system for vital signs, Blood should be administered based on the vital signs shown rather than an indicated from the user or patient. essentially there will be 4 levels (not including deceased). each level will be separated by 500mls of blood. therefore giving 500mls of fluid will change vital signs once it has ticked over after administration.
Here are the levels:
Normal Perfusion Level: 3-4
• HR: 60-100
• BP: 100-130
• Skin: Warm, Pink and Dry
Borderline perfusion Level: 2-3
• HR: 70-110
• BP: 85-100
• Skin: Cool, Pale and Clammy
Inadequate perfusion Level: 1-2
• HR: 80-140
• BP: 65-85
• Skin: Cool, Pale and Clammy
Extremely poor perfusion Level: 0-1
• HR: 20-50
• BP: 50-65
• Skin: Cool, Pale and Clammy
No perfusion level 0
• HR: No palpable pulse
• BP: Unrecordable
• Skin: Cool, Pale and Clammy
for example. lets say you check a patients vital signs and see the following:
• HR: 114
• BP: 81 sys
• Skin: Cool, Pale and Clammy
This patient fits the category of " Inadequate perfusion. and lets say their client identifies as level: 1.40/4, by giving 500mls after 30 seconds the level would change to: 2.40/4, this change their vitals to "borderline perfusion". Then, if you were to give 250mls, it would change the level to 2.90/4 (half of what it was before).
Please note the descriptions are just categories and renditions of vital signs. you would not have the words "Normal perfusion" in them. Please message me if you need clarification.
