Hypovolemic shock

Hypovolemic shock is a critical, life-threatening form of circulatory failure caused by a rapid and severe loss of intravascular volume from hemorrhage or extensive fluid depletion As effective circulating volume drops, systemic tissue perfusion and cellular oxygenation become inadequate to meet metabolic demands, rapidly threatening multiple organ systems Defining clinical features include hypotension, compensatory tachycardia, tachypnea, oliguria, cool and clammy extremities, delayed capillary...

Hypovolemic shock is a critical, life-threatening form of circulatory failure caused by a rapid and severe loss of intravascular volume from hemorrhage or extensive fluid depletion Defining clinical features include hypotension, compensatory tachycardia, tachypnea, oliguria, cool and clammy extremities, delayed capillary refill, and progressive metabolic acidosis with elevated serum lactate

This deficit impairs the cardiovascular system by critically diminishing venous return and cardiac preload, which markedly decreases stroke volume and cardiac output Defining clinical features include hypotension, compensatory tachycardia, tachypnea, oliguria, cool and clammy extremities, delayed capillary refill, and progressive metabolic acidosis with elevated serum lactate
