Presentation
A 50-year-old man presented with a 1-year history of paroxysmal ataxia of gait and short attacks of blurred vision when he stood up from a recumbent position and began to walk. Orthostatic headache was not a feature of his clinical presentation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Swelling
CONCLUSIONS: As a cause of acute clinical deterioration after aneurysmal clipping, CSF hypovolemia is likely under-recognized, and may actually be misdiagnosed as vasospasm or brain swelling. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abdominal pain or swelling. Treatment of hypovolemic shock could include: Intravenous (IV) fluids. Blood transfusions. Medications to regulate your blood pressure and heart rate. [grayandwhitelaw.com]

Cardiovascular
- Hypotension
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]
Although hypovolemia may intuitively seem a likely cause for hypotension in intensive care patients, its role in the pathogenesis of intradialytic hypotension may be overestimated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Tachycardia
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]
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]
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]
Similar to these findings, previous studies have shown that bradycardia follows tachycardia after severe hemorrhage; consequently, the present results suggest that this pattern results from the induced change in blood volume. [fasebj.org]
- Orthostatic Hypotension
Prolonged capillary refill time (pressing on the nail) and orthostatic hypotension are not reliable signs of mild to moderate hypovolemia 5. [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]

- 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]

- 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]
