Objective: Progressive hemorrhagic shock (HS) causes splanchnic vasoconstriction and hypo-perfusion together with profound depletions of cellular cytosolic energy phosphates (ATP). Cellular energy failure and the splanchnic hypo-perfusion are critical to the pathogenesis of shock decompensation and the subsequent death from cardio-circulatory arres...

During hemorrhagic shock, blood loss causes a fall in blood pressure, decreases cardiac output, and, consequently, O2 transport. The current guidelines recommend the administration of vasopressors in addition to fluids to maintain arterial pressure when life-threatening hypotension occurs in order to prevent the risk of organ failure, especially ac...
