Gastrointestinal
- Cullen's Sign
Bleeding in the abdominal cavity may lead to classical bruising patterns seen in Cullen’s sign and Turner’s sign. [howshealth.com]
Bleeding into the abdominal cavity can cause the classical bruising patterns of Grey Turner's sign (bruising along the sides) or Cullen's sign (around the navel). [14] Stages [ edit ] Usually referred to as a "class" of shock. [en.wikipedia.org]
Cardiovascular
- Hypotension
KEYWORDS: Blood donation; Blood pressure variability; Heart rate; Heart rate variability; Non-hypotensive hypovolemia [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Hypotension Hypovolemia causes hypotension when the blood volume loss is greater than 30%; this is called decompensated hypovolemic shock 7. Hypotension can occur in hypovolemia but also without blood volume loss (due to vasodilation). [ehealthstar.com]
Orthostatic Hypotension Orthostatic hypotension is one of several signs and symptoms of hypovolemia. Hypotension is the medical term for low blood pressure. [brighthub.com]
- Tachycardia
Class I hemorrhage (loss of 0-15%) In the absence of complications, only minimal tachycardia is seen. Usually, no changes in BP, pulse pressure, or respiratory rate occur. [emedicine.medscape.com]
One of the signs and symptoms of hypovolemia is tachycardia (Nursing, 2000). Tachycardia is the medical term for rapid heartbeat (Mayo Clinic). [brighthub.com]
Tachycardia is sensitive but not specific indicator. Prolonged capillary refill (> 2 seconds), especially when combined with tachycardia, is more specific, although it may be difficult to measure. Cold skin and decreased urine output may be present. [openanesthesia.org]
Fluid resuscitation with crystalloid (Saline solution or Lactated Ringer's solution) and blood transfusion are usually necessary. * Systolic blood pressure falls to 100mmHg or less * Classic signs of hypovolemic shock * Marked tachycardia >120 bpm (heart [sphynxcatvp.nocturna.org]
There may be tachycardia and a fall in blood pressure (BP) or postural hypotension. Tachycardia and cold peripheries from vasoconstriction may occur before a fall in BP, especially in children and young adults. [patient.info]
- Orthostatic Hypotension
Orthostatic Hypotension Orthostatic hypotension is one of several signs and symptoms of hypovolemia. Hypotension is the medical term for low blood pressure. [brighthub.com]
Prolonged capillary refill time (pressing on the nail) and orthostatic hypotension are not reliable signs of mild to moderate hypovolemia 5. [ehealthstar.com]
‘Possible side effects include hypovolemia, orthostatic hypotension, and urinary loss of potassium and magnesium.’ ‘Thirst is also stimulated by hypotension and hypovolemia.’ Origin 1920s: from hypo- ‘under’ + volume + Greek haima ‘blood’. [oxforddictionaries.com]
- Narrow Pulse Pressure
If the difference is less than 25 percent of the systolic blood pressure, the pulse pressure is considered to be narrow. A wide pulse pressure is considered to be greater than 50 percent of the systolic blood pressure. [ems1.com]
Class IV hemorrhage (loss of >40%) Symptoms include the following: marked tachycardia, decreased systolic BP, narrowed pulse pressure (or immeasurable diastolic pressure), markedly decreased (or no) urinary output, depressed mental status (or loss of [emedicine.medscape.com]
These circulation changes include tachycardia, narrowing pulse pressure, possible systolic hypotension, capillary refill time > 2 seconds, cool/pale skin, weak to absent peripheral pulses, reduced urine output. [acls-algorithms.com]

Sweating 3. Shortness of breath 4. BP: 88/35 (low) 5. Pulse: 120 (high) 6. 02 Sat: 88% 7. RR: 16 8. Temp: 98. 6 What are the signs and symptoms for hypovolemia? (8) 1. Ask when last time they had fluids or ate 2. [quizlet.com]
Heavy sweating and intermittent loss of consciousness can occur at its most severe stage. There are four stages of hypovolemic shock based on how much blood volume has been lost. [medicalnewstoday.com]
Anxiety/ agitation Confusion Cool and clammy skin General weakness Decreased or nil urine output Sweating Rapid breathing Unconsciousness Pale and moist skin Hypovolemia Diagnosis Clinical symptoms may not be present until 10–20% of total whole-blood [howshealth.com]
- Grey Turner's Sign
Bleeding into the abdominal cavity can cause the classical bruising patterns of Grey Turner's sign (bruising along the sides) or Cullen's sign (around the navel). [14] Stages [ edit ] Usually referred to as a "class" of shock. [en.wikipedia.org]
Urogenital
- Oliguria
Class III hemorrhage (loss of 30-40%) By this point, patients usually have marked tachypnea and tachycardia, decreased systolic BP, oliguria, and significant changes in mental status, such as confusion or agitation. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Symptoms that may be present in mild fluid depletion (less than 5% of ECF) include diminished skin turgor which is best assessed at the upper torso, dry mucous membranes, and oliguria. [nursingshow.com]
The kidneys are injured when renal perfusion is critically reduced, leading to acute tubular necrosis and renal insufficiency manifested by oliguria and progressive rise in serum creatinine. [merckmanuals.com]
Oliguria is typical. When ECF volume has diminished by 5 to 10% (moderate volume depletion), orthostatic tachycardia, hypotension, or both are usually, but not always, present. [msdmanuals.com]
Neurologic
- Dizziness
Dim lights for dizziness 8. Check chem panel (H&H will be low) 9. Check mouth for oral secretions 10.Check IV patency What are the proper interventions for hypovolemia? (10) S- Patient complains of dizziness, SOB, weak, and sweaty. [quizlet.com]
The finding of mild postural dizziness has no proven value. [jamanetwork.com]
Mild postural dizziness had no value in the diagnosis of hypovolemia. Normal capillary refill time ranges from two seconds in children and adult men to three seconds in adult women and four seconds in the elderly. [aafp.org]
The patient may feel dizzy, faint, nauseated, or very thirsty. [en.wikipedia.org]

Hypovolemia lab values These are the changes you will encounter in the lab tests for hypovolemia: Sodium excretion increased Specific gravity increased BUN (blood urea nitrogen) increased – demonstrates kidney function Hct (hematocrit) increased Osmolality [byebyedoctor.com]
Other Test Results
- Decreased Plasma Volume
Broadly defined, hypovolemia represents inadequate circulating plasma volume leading to decreased cardiac preload and thus decreased cardiac output and blood pressure. [oxfordmedicine.com]
Other ECG Findings
- Ischemic Changes
Ischemic changes in the organs will set the stage for complications, such as gastric ulcerations or sepsis. Skin care is important too. [163.178.103.176]
Treatment
Without treatment, shock is almost always fatal. The likelihood of dying from shock depends on several factors including: When treatment starts: The sooner treatment begins, the more likely you are to survive. [medicalnewstoday.com]
and NT-pro-BNP levels change in the similar direction as ECW volume during the treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Blood transfusion is definitive treatment for hypovolemia caused by trauma. NOTE: The above information is educational purpose. [medigoo.com]
Treatment of Pediatric Hypovolemic Shock The main treatment for the critically-ill child with hypovolemic shock is fluid resuscitation. [acls-algorithms.com]
Quick and immediate treatment many reduce the risks involved in progressing to severe hypovolemic symptoms. Early first aid treatment can many a times, control the symptoms of shock. [howshealth.com]
Prognosis
CONCLUSIONS: CT evidence of FI is a good indicator of hypovolemia and an accurate predictor for prognosis in trauma patients with blunt solid organ injuries. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Elderly have a poor prognosis compared to young adults. [howshealth.com]
Once they appear, you know the prognosis is poor unless you act quickly. Meet your patients Knowing which patients are at risk can be tricky -- hypovolemic shock can occur for so many reasons. [163.178.103.176]
In addition, some forms of shock have a better prognosis than others. Hypovolemic shock, if you can replace the fluids and find the leak and plug it, has much better odds than shock resulting from a bacterial infection or heart failure. [thenakedscientists.com]
Etiology
Hypovolemic shock as a result of extracellular fluid loss can be of the following etiologies: Gastrointestinal Losses GI losses can occur via many different etiologies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The term CT hypoperfusion complex is now preferred over the older and more direct term shock bowel 2,9 Etiology CT hypoperfusion complex is most commonly described in the context of post-traumatic hypovolemic shock but can also occur in 1-2 : septic shock [radiopaedia.org]

Prevention
HUT was performed without ELC (control model), with ELC inflated before HUT (prevention model) and after HUT (restore model). RESULTS: The decrease in stroke volume (SV) during the prevention model versus control model was 17 ± 3% versus 27 ± 3%. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We also hypothesize that administration of AM/AMBP-1 will prevent the transition from the reversible to irreversible hypovolemic shock and will reduce hypovolemia-indueed organ injury and mortality. [grantome.com]
The best way to prevent life-threatening complications is to ensure that the patient receives immediate medical attention. References: Traumatic hypovolemic shock: Halt the downward spiral. [docdoc.com.sg]
These can determine hypovolemia, prevent its complications, and can also serve as guides for therapy. [ 13 ] Blood tests such as glucose, electrolytes, blood chemistry, and arterial blood gases can also be done to confirm hypovolemia and prevent sequela [ihealthblogger.com]
