Day 6: Hypovolemic shock

Learning outcomes:
  • The student identifies a patient in circulatory shock. 
  • The student defines circulatory shock. 
  • The student explains the pathophysiology of hypovolemic shock. 
  • The student identifies the massive bleeding. 
  • The student describes the initial management of massive bleeding. 
  • The student knows the basic steps in the treatment of trauma patients. 
  • The student diagnoses tension pneumothorax. 
  • The student describes the technique of emergency thorax decompression in case of tension pneumothorax. 

Hypovolemic shock is a state of serious loss of intravascular volume. Hypovolemia causes a decrease in preload and, therefore, decreases stroke volume and cardiac output. 

There are two types of hypovolemic shock: hemorrhagic (internal and external bleeding) and non-hemorrhagic (burns, dehydration, vomiting, diarrhoea,...).
