Yes, that would be a normal response to shock to try and save the internal organs by pooling the blood to the abdomen and thoracic cavity and lowering it at the extremities. Giving IV fluids would increase of fluids in the body and that would raise blood pressure and help avoid complications from shock.

What is high space shock?
Volume remains the sameTank (vessels) expandsHigh space shock goes by other names you may be familiar with, such as relative hypovolemia or distributive shock. In this form of shock, the fluid volume remains the same, but the vessels dilate causing poor perfusion and hypotension. Fluid can also shift from intracellular to extracellular space. This can be seen in neuogenic shock (spinal shock) where vessels lose sympathetic tone (which causes vasoconstriction), anaphylaxis, or sepsis. All of these forms of shock show hypotension that should be initially managed with fluid, but it is not due to true hypovolemia.
How is shock prevented?
.Shock can be avoided by recognizing that a patient who is unable to drink in order to replace lost fluids needs to be given fluids intravenously. Other types of shock are only preventable insofar as one can prevent their underlying conditions.
