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 are the three types of shock?
The three types of shock are hypovolemic shock (caused by severe loss of blood or fluids), distributive shock (caused by inappropriate vasodilation leading to decreased blood flow), and cardiogenic shock (caused by heart failure leading to inadequate circulation).
In septic shock antibiotics may aggrevate hypotension?

What is the common name for hypotension?
Shock or low blood pressure
Do you have hypotension or hypertension with shock?
In shock, a person typically experiences hypotension, which is characterized by abnormally low blood pressure. This occurs because shock impairs the body's ability to maintain adequate blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues. In some cases, such as cardiogenic shock, hypertension may initially be present, but it generally progresses to hypotension as the condition worsens. Overall, shock is primarily associated with hypotensive states.
What is signs and symptoms of obstructive shock?
hypotension, tacycardia and low Bp
What differentiate hemorrhagic shock from neurogenic shock?
Hemorrhagic shock is primarily caused by significant blood loss, leading to inadequate tissue perfusion and oxygenation, which results in organ dysfunction. In contrast, neurogenic shock results from a loss of sympathetic tone, typically due to spinal cord injury or severe trauma, causing vasodilation, hypotension, and bradycardia without significant blood loss. While both conditions lead to hypotension and shock, their underlying mechanisms and clinical presentations differ markedly.
Classic systemic effects of lewisite include which of the following?
Decreased renal function and hypotension and can lead to shock
What is an acute circulatory crisis makred by hypotension and inadequate peripheral blood flow?
hypovolaemia? haemorrhagic shock?
How is toxic shock syndrome treated?
the vagina first is cleansed with an antiseptic solution to eliminate some of the bacteria that produce the toxin. TSS is treated with antibiotics, together with other drugs and fluids to lower fever and control blood pressure.
SEPTIC shock due to gram-positive bacteria is caused by?
Septic shock due to gram-positive bacteria is caused by the release of toxic substances such as lipoteichoic acid and peptidoglycan, which trigger a systemic inflammatory response. This can lead to vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and severe hypotension, resulting in multiple organ dysfunction and potentially death. Early recognition and appropriate antibiotic therapy are crucial for treating septic shock caused by gram-positive bacteria.
What is the icd-9 code for threatened shock hypotensive?
residual code:458.9 (for the hypotension) late effect code: 758.50 (for the shock) you would need both codes
