Abstract:
Hemorrhagic shock, and subsequent resuscitation leads to global ischemia/reperfusion injury. It may result in multiple organ injury and death. Ischemic post-conditioning has been suggested to reduce organ injury. It may lead to gradual increase in tissue oxygen delivery and tissue acidosis may be reduced gradually. Gradual increase of blood pressure or blood flow in ischemic organs has been reported to decrease tissue injury. We propose that gradual and stepwise increase of blood pressure may decrease tissue injury and mortality in hemorrhagic shock by mimicking ischemic post-conditioning.

Blood Pressure: Hypertension and Hypotension
Normal blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg. Elevated blood pressure is 120-129/under 80 mm Hg. Hypertension, warranting treatment at 130/80 mm Hg, is often asymptomatic and can lead to severe cardiovascular events, aneurysms, peripheral arterial disease, chronic renal disease, or cardiac...
