Hypovolemic shock is characterized by a rapid, weak pulse. Explain in detail (such as with cardiac output and BP) the diagnostic sequence of cardiovascular events taht often leads to this situation after severe blood loss.

Question

blues · Answer

When a person loses a lot of blood, the fluid pressure in their blood vessels decreases. Because the cardiovascular system uses blood pressure produced by each heart beat to push blood through the vasculature, blood, each heart beat produces less fluid pressure on the blood. The pulse feels shallow or weak. Also, because the heart has to pump more often to deliver the same amount of blood to the tissue, it speeds up.
