Stage 1 compensatory
bp normal/hr increase, cold extremities, confusion
Stage 2 progressive
bp down/hr up, resp up, chest pain, kidney injury, worsened mental status, mottled skin
Stage 3 irreversible
multiple organ dysfunction, 60/40bp, mechanical support, anuric, unconscious, acidosis

Recognize signs
ID and correct blood loss replace fluids, give O2 LOC changes draw labs urinary output
If severe pain disappears
