shock, hypovolemic, hypovolemic shock, particular form of shock, the heart is unable to supply enough blood, blood loss, inadequate blood volume, loss of approximately one-fifth, the normal blood volume produces hypovolemic shock, loss, from any cause, external bleeding, from cuts, injury, gastrointestinal tract bleeding, internal bleeding, from diminished blood volume resulting, excessive loss of other body fluids, diarrhea, vomiting, burns, larger, rapid blood volume losses result in more severe shock symptoms, in another form of shock, cardiogenic shock, adequate blood volume, the heart is unable to pump the blood effectively, rapid pulse, pulse weak, thready, rapid breathing, anxiety, agitation, cool, clammy skin, weakness, pale skin color, pallor, sweating, moist skin, decreased, no urine output, low blood pressure , confusion, unconsciousness, an examination indicates, shock, low blood pressure, rapid pulse, body temperature, drop, laboratory tests, cbc, tests performed depending on the suspected cause, the loss of volume, tests required, site, volume depletion, could, ct scan, an x-ray of suspected areas, endoscopy performed in cases of bleeding, gastrointestinal tract, an echocardiogram, heart ultrasound, right heart, swan-ganz, catheterization, low cardiac output, pumping action, confirming shock, help to differentiate between hypovolemic versus cardiogenic shock, obtain professional medical care immediately! limited measures to help, keep the victim comfortable, warm, to avoid hypothermia, have the victim lie flat, the feet elevated, 12 inches to increase circulation, victim suffers, a head, neck, leg injury, leave the victim, they were found, doing so poses other immediate danger, not give fluids by mouth, victim is stung, suffering an allergic reaction, treat the allergic reaction, victim must be, carried, try to maintain the flat, head, feet elevated position, stabilize the head, neck, moving a victim, a suspected spinal injury, hospital treatment focuses on replacing blood, fluid volume, determination, the cause of blood loss, control of bleeding, prevent recurrence of hypovolemic shock, intravenous fluids, blood, blood products, maintain volume, in the circulatory system, dopamine, dobutamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, medications required to increase blood pressure, cardiac output, interventions that, manage shock, cardiac monitoring, swan-ganz, guide treatment, placement of a urinary catheter to monitor urine output, hypovolemic shock is always a medical emergency, wide variation in both symptoms, outcomes depending upon the amount, blood volume lost, rate of loss, underlying illness, injury causing the loss, factors, patients, milder degrees of shock tend to, better than those, more severe shock, in cases of severe hypovolemic shock, death is possible, immediate medical attention, elderly, at increased risk of having poor outcomes from shock, kidney damage, brain damage, hypovolemic shock, medical emergency! call the local emergency number, take the victim, symptoms indicate hypovolemic shock, preventing shock is easier than trying to treat it once it happens, prompt treatment, the underlying cause, reduce the risk of developing severe shock, early first aid, control shock.
