The oxygenated blood drops speedily and the patient dies. So why did the system control in the use of feedback loops failed? It is important that the body’s feedback loops maintains blood pressure effectively but unfortunately this effectiveness can hide the patient’s real deteriorating physical condition. In the beginning stages of the hypovolemic shock, the more successful the feedback loops maintain blood pressure and reduced perfusion to the brain, the system is deteriorating even though it is not seeing as a drop in blood pressure [4]. That is to say, although the patient is losing blood and the venous volume and pressure is decreasing, the blood pressure will look reasonably stable as the myocardial contractility, heart rate and peripheral vascular resistance increase as a means to compensate for the perturbation. This produces a blood pressure that is misleading and may lead the doctor into a false sense of patient recovery
