Hypovolaemic shock with particular reference to the myocardial and pulmonary lesions
Abstract:
Amongst 207 post mortem examinations of patiens dying as a result of haemorrhage, there were 102 with histological manifestations of the shock syndrome. Shock lesions in the lung were found in 50% of cases, and in the heart shock lesions were found in 39.2%. Shock lesions in the heart were the commonest cause of shock that proved refractory to restoration of the blood volume. The pulmonary lesions of shock developed later than the cardiac lesions and in this series were the commonest cause of death.

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...
