A member asked:
When you've lost a lot of blood and you go into hypovolemic shock, how are you treated in the hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypovolemic shock: Hopefully you get an IV and rapid volume repletion with colloid and normal saline with transfusion of red blood cells if you've lost enough blood to be dangerously low on rbcs. When stabilized a diagnosis of the cause of the blood loss and treatment of that cause must be done.
