Oxygen transport to the tissue and blood viscosity
Chapter
Abstract
For a long time it was assumed that essential to shock was a decrease in blood pressure. As a result, treatment consisted of restoring the blood pressure with vasoconstrictors. Blood pressure is still given a relatively important role as a criterion of the state of the circulation, but this is due more to the fact that the blood pressure is easier to measure than any other pathophysiological parameters.
