Course Description:		This Multisystem course is the last in the series of courses for critical care nursing candidates. It uses pertinent information from other courses to pull together and describe the results of decreased tissue perfusion resulting from dysfunction/failure of multiple body systems. Critical care nurses will become adept at identifying various types of shock, along with the clinical presentations and steps essential to achieve the best clinical outcome.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to 1. differentiate between normal and abnormal perfusion as it relates to pipes (arteries/veins) and the pump (the heart); 2. classify the different phases of any shock state; 3. identify the cascade of events during the progressive shock phase; 4. recall from previous courses the principles of cardiac output, renal compensation mechanisms, and blood clotting responses that are affected during the refractory phase of shock; and 5. explain the nature and complications of Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) and Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome(MODS).
