HYPERTENSION PATHOPHYSIOLOGY (NURSING)

HYPERTENSION PATHOPHYSIOLOGY (NURSING)

Hypertension is one of those med surg nursing disorders you MUST know about in nursing school. You'll see it all the time on your med surg nursing floor, so you'll definitely want to know the pathophysiology of hypertension so you're prepared to take care of your patient's at clinical.

All hypertension really means is high blood pressure.

In this video, I'll walk you through and easy breakdown of hypertension pathophysiology. We'll talk about hemodynamics, including:

-Systolic blood pressure
-Diastolic blood pressure
-Stroke volume
-Blood vessel size (dilated or constricted)
-Peripheral vascular resistance / Systemic vascular resistance
-Heart rate
-Cardiac output

If you want a deeper dive into the physiological processes that can help to regulate blood pressure, high blood pressure, and control the pathophysiology of hypertension, things like baroreceptors and the RAA pathway, you'll want to jump into the NursingSOS Membership Community, where we talk about all of that. :)
