1. Hemorrhagic shock is characterized by hypoperfusion rather than hypotension. Early identification and treatment before hypotension occurs is key to minimizing morbidity. 2. Fluid resuscitation in hemorrhagic shock should replace three times the volume of blood lost using warm crystalloids. Replacing less than this amount can lead to persistent hypoperfusion and increased mortality. 3. Restoring end-organ perfusion through normalization of acidosis and oxygen consumption, rather than just traditional indicators like blood pressure and heart rate, best indicates adequate resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock.
