Hypovolemia

Hypovolemia is a state of decreased extracellular fluid volume, characterized by a critical reduction in intravascular blood volume

Hypovolemia is a state of decreased extracellular fluid volume, characterized by a critical reduction in intravascular blood volume Pathophysiologically, the loss of circulating volume reduces venous return and cardiac output, prompting compensatory sympathetic vasoconstriction and tachycardia to preserve systemic blood pressure

It primarily impacts the cardiovascular system and end-organ perfusion, arising from hemorrhage, gastrointestinal or renal fluid losses, extensive burns, or internal third-space fluid shifts If uncorrected, this volume depletion culminates in compromised microvascular tissue perfusion, cellular hypoxia, lactic acidosis, and progression to hypovolemic shock with multiorgan dysfunction
