  • To elucidate the ideal target MAP and tolerance time for permissive hypotension with uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock rats, the effects of different target MAPs (40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 100 mmHg) and 60-, 90-, and 120-min permissive hypotension (50 mmHg) on uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock were observed. (silverchair.com)
  • Control of blood pressure during resuscitation for hemorrhagic shock affects outcome and permissive hypotension may be beneficial. (silverchair.com)
  • A common error in the management of hypovolemic shock is failure to recognize it early, often caused by a reliance on BP or initial hematocrit level, rather than signs of decreased peripheral perfusion, to make the diagnosis. (medscape.com)
