Patients with hemorrhagic shock should be admitted to an intensive care or monitored setting appropriate for the underlying condition and physiologic state. In hospitals without facilities to provide definitive care, patients should be stabilized as much as possible and transferred to a facility with a higher level of care. Coagulopathies may occur in severe hemorrhage. Fluid resuscitation, while necessary, may exacerbate coagulopathies. Sepsis and multiple organ system failure occur days after acute hemorrhagic shock.
Death is a possible complication.
Hypotension is a late finding and represents significant hemorrhage. Medications and underlying diseases may modify responses to hemorrhage.
