The veterinary nurse (VN) plays a vital role in monitoring
the shocked patient. Early recognition of clinical
signs relating to a change in condition can greatly
impact the outcome of the patient (Wemple, 2010).
As recommended by Higgins (2009) the patient’s
mental state, mucous membrane colour, capillary
refill time, heart rate, blood pressure, pulse quality
and temperature were measured and recorded every
30 to 60 minutes initially and documented on the
hospitalisation form (Figure 3). These are all vital parameters
that demonstrate the cardiovascular status
and therefore the body’s ability to provide adequate
oxygen to the cells.
