early sign of hypovolemic shock
Hypovolemic shock is primarily caused by poor perfusion, usually from excess blood or fluid loss from the body. Hypovolemic shock is the most common type of pre-hospital shock often resulting from moderate or severe trauma.
Hypovolemic shock affects many different organs and systems in the human body. The main thing it effects is the heart because it is unable to pump enough blood to the entire body.

Blood vessels constrict to increase venous return and maintain pressure. Heart rate increases to compensate for loss of blood pressure and to maintain cardiac output.
Dextrose is not typically used in the management of hypovolemic shock. In hypovolemic shock, the priority is to restore intravascular volume with crystalloid fluids like normal saline or lactated Ringer's. Dextrose is a sugar solution used to provide calories and treat low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which can sometimes occur as a complication of shock.
