Hypovolemia as an H&T Cause of Cardiac Arrest

Review of hypovolemia as a reversible H&T cause of cardiac arrest including: causes, signs & symptoms, and treatment with crystalloid solutions or blood.

When a patient loses excessive amounts of fluids, we say that they are in a state of hypovolemia.

The most obvious cause of hypovolemia is from bleeding.

Bleeding can be internal or external and caused by trauma, pathology, or iatrogenic.

Classic signs & symptoms of hypovolemic shock.

Volume replacement with crystalloids vs blood.
