Activity Description

Acute mesenteric ischemia is caused by a sudden decline in blood flow through the mesenteric vessels. Diagnosis can be difficult because symptoms are typically non-specific. However, the condition progresses rapidly. The non-specific symptomatology in conjunction with rapid progression of acute mesenteric ischemia likely contribute to the high associated mortality rate of 60-80 percent. By maintaining a high index of suspicion for this condition and diagnosing and treating it early, interprofessional teams can prevent some of the associated mortality and decrease associated morbidity. This activity describes the evaluation and management of acute mesenteric ischemia and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in the management of patients with this condition.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify the etiology of acute mesenteric ischemia.
  • Describe the typical presentation of a patient with acute mesenteric ischemia.
  • Explain the treatment and management options available for patients with acute mesenteric ischemia.
  • Review interprofessional team strategies for improving care coordination and communication to enhance detection of acute mesenteric ischemia and decrease the time between patient presentation and initiation of treatment.
