Volume Infusion in Traumatic Shock

  • Chapter
The Integrated Approach to Trauma Care

Part of the book series: Update in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine ((UICM,volume 22))

Abstract

The term shock is used to describe a clinical syndrome caused by inadequate delivery of nutrients, including oxygen, to the tissues. Even though shock may be manifested by generalized physiologic derangements, the pathophysiology takes place at the cellular level. In victims of trauma inadequate cellular perfusion can be attributed to hypovolemia from blood loss (hemorrhage), increased microvascular permeability, or redistribution of intravascular volume in the capacitance vessels [1]. The end result is a vicious cycle of oxygen debt leading to metabolic acidosis, cellular dysfunction, and ultimately cellular death [2].
