Hypovolemic Shock treatment in Colima

Hypovolemic shock is a serious situation in which the body loses a significant amount of blood or fluids, so that the heart is unable to pump enough blood to the organs.

When to seek help? It is a medical emergency: it requires immediate care in cases of heavy bleeding, severe vomiting or diarrhea, extensive burns, or marked dehydration.

Common manifestations:

• Pale, cold, and clammy skin
• Rapid pulse and rapid breathing
• Dizziness, confusion, or loss of consciousness

Who treats it? In the acute moment it is managed by the emergency physician, and the internist takes part in the follow-up; the endocrinologist may intervene if there are associated metabolic causes. Faced with these signs, the right thing to do is to call emergency services without delay.
