Abstract
Acute hypovolemia may occur with blood loss, fluid shifts within tissue compartments, and vasodilation. Prehospital treatment has consisted of positioning patient, control of environment, oxygen administration, wound dressing, and, more recently, intravenous fluid administration and/or vasopressors. Few studies demonstrate on-site efficacy of intravenous fluid therapy in terms of time factors, quantities administered, and effect. Even more controversial are the effects of pressor agents in such states as a primary method of choice.
