Hypovolemic shock - A review.

Shock is described traditionally as tissue hypoxia due to inadequate perfusion which is classified as hypovolemic, cardiogenic, obstructive, and distributive. Hypovolemic shock is an important life-threatening emergency. In hypovolemic shock, there is decreased circulating blood volume due to the loss of intravascular fluid. Hemorrhagic shock is the most common form of hypovolemic shock and must be recognized early which prevent progression, morbidity, and mortality.
