In serious cases, it can cause hemorrhagic or hypovolemic shock, which occurs when the body’s blood volume is depleted and leads to insufficient blood flow and oxygen to the organs.

The lack of medical treatment likely caused the woman to suffer repeated episodes of hypovolemic shock—a life-threatening condition caused by a significant loss of blood, leading to insufficient ...

Few data exist regarding resuscitation of hypovolemic shock in infants, and alternative strategies such as vasopressor therapy merit further evaluation. However, the effects of norepinephrine on ...

Bottom line: A moderate IV fluid resuscitation approach (3.6 to 4.5 L) is associated with lower mortality in ICU patients presenting with sepsis, compared to restrictive and liberal fluid strategies.

Initiation of fluid resuscitation should be as early as possible even before extrication, best within 6 h of crush injury to reduce the risk of hypovolemic shock and acute kidney injury, and ...

Use of lactated Ringer solution for fluid resuscitation among patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) and vaso-occlusive episodes was associated with a small -- but significant -- improvement in ...

Cerebrospinal fluid can sometimes leak or collect in the brain without an identifiable cause, leading to symptoms that can be difficult to diagnose.

Clinical question: Are there safety or mortality benefits to the use of a more restrictive versus liberal IV fluid strategy for ongoing IV fluid resuscitation in critically ill patients with septic ...

They enrolled adult patients with septic shock in six Swedish ICUs, randomizing them within 12 hours of ICU admission to either receive a protocolized reduction of non-resuscitation fluids or usual ...

High vs low and moderate fluid infusion resuscitation rates are associated with the best clinical outcomes for acute pancreatitis, but further research is needed.
