The First 15 Minutes - Code Red
The First 15 Minutes · C - Circulation
The blood pressure looks reassuring. Is the circulation?
This session tackles the second C in C–ABCDE: circulation. We’ll explore how blood reaches the tissues, what happens when that process fails and how to recognise shock before the numbers make it obvious.
We’ll explore:
Assessing perfusion using the whole clinical picture.
Understanding the different mechanisms of shock and why the cause changes your approach.
The principles behind fluids, blood products, reassessment and urgent escalation.
For medical students who want to move beyond reading a blood pressure and start understanding the patient’s circulation.
