KROK 1 2018 – Question 184 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathophysiology
A patient suffers from posttraumatic hemorrhage that resulted in development of hemorrhagic shock. What volume of circulating blood was lost by the patient?
- A. 50-75%
- B. 40-50%
- C. 3-20%
- D. 25-40%
- E. 12-25%
Hint
Consider the range of blood loss at which vasoconstriction and fluid shifts can no longer compensate and shock appears, yet the loss is not so massive that death follows within minutes.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
