Milo, a 19-year-old, lives in an inner-city apartment complex. One late night he was walking home after hanging out with his friends
Before he knew what was happening, someone jumped Milo from behind and tried to get his wallet. A fight broke out, and the thief stabbed Milo in the abdomen before taking off. When the paramedics arrived, Milo was pale, sweating, and rolling restlessly on the ground. His pulse was 94 beats/minute and his blood pressure 115/82 mm Hg. He was rushed to the hospital where his treatment began immediately. Why is Milo presenting with pallor, diaphoresis, and restlessness? In spite of his blood loss, Milo's blood pressure was only slightly affected when the paramedics first found him. Describe how cardiovascular compensatory mechanisms serve to maintain homeostasis as long as possible in the early stages of shock. How does ADH contribute to compensation? What are the disadvantages of prolonged vasoconstriction in hypovolemic shock? If Milo's respirations were to become progressively deeper and more rapid, what physiological changes in the body would that indicate?
