Hemorrhagic shock results from a life-threatening loss of blood and leads to tissue ischemia and insufficient evacuation of cellular metabolic degradation products. Mortality is linked directly to massive blood loss or occurs indirectly due to secondary multiple organ failure.

Current guidelines for nonsurgical treatment of hemorrhagic shock recommend rapid volume resuscitation
