The body first recognizes that it is going into shock and it begins to pull blood and fluid away from the nonessential organs such as the muscles and skin in order to keep blood circulating to the important organs such as the brain‚ heart‚ and lungs.

Shock is a life threatening condition that occurs when the organs and tissues of the body are not receiving an adequate flow of blood. In a sense the circulatory system is failing to effectively deliver oxygen to the cells thus resulting in reduced tissue perfusion. It is characterised by hypoxia and inadequate cellular function that lead to multiple organ failure and potentially death (Kleinpell 2007). This essay will focus on hypovolemic shock in particular‚ and relate it to patient with complications
