What are the first signs of hypovolemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shock ...: happens with hypovolemia. The earliest signs would be tachycardia (increased heart rate) and delayed peripheral capillary refill (when you squeeze your fingernails or toenails, the blanching turning back to pink takes more than 1-2 seconds). Hypotension (low blood pressure) would be a late sign and indicative of significant hypovolemia. Another sensitive sign is oliguria (reduced urine output).
