In hypovolaemic shock:

True / False

The central venous pressure is decreased Correct

The heart rate is decreased Correct

The systemic vascular resistance is decreased Correct

The stroke volume is increased Correct

The pulmonary capillary wedge pressure is decreased Correct

Explanation

Hypovolaemic shock occurs when the intravascular volume is depleted as a consequence of blood or fluid loss.

The commonly encountered haemodynamic findings include:

a decrease in stroke volume, cardiac output and filling pressures (i.e. central venous pressure and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure), and

an increase in heart rate and systemic vascular resistance.
