A sample SBAR scenario
Post-op day one, blood pressure trending down, and a nurse who has two minutes. No email needed — the whole thing is below.
Situation
“This is the RN on 4 West calling about Mr. R in 412, post-op day one. I am concerned about a falling blood pressure.”
Background
“Open cholecystectomy yesterday. BP has gone from 118/70 at 1600 to 84/49 now. HR 112. Urine output 15 mL in two hours.”
Assessment
“He is drowsy but oriented, skin cool, abdomen soft with no new bleeding at the site. I think he is hypovolemic.”
Recommendation
“I would like you to come assess him. If you cannot come now, I am asking for a fluid bolus order and repeat labs.”
