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

organ failure
death
Nursing interventions for hemorrhagic shock
Monitor vitals
Recognize signs
ID and correct blood loss replace fluids, give O2 LOC changes draw labs urinary output
If severe pain disappears
Red flag of Shock
With shock urine should be
CLOSELY MONITORED
volume and color
When Shock progresses
