Hypoperfusion is the condition in which the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to as well as the removal of various wastes from tissues is reduced to the point that the cells’ needs are not met. To compensate, the body will release epinephrine and norepinephrine to increase vasoconstriction which increases the rate at which the available oxygen and nutrients arrive at the cellular level. Furthermore, the body releases antidiuretic hormone (ADH) to decrease the urine output to conserve body fluid so that there is maximum circulating fluid available to deliver perfusion. The spleen will also release some of its reserve of red blood cells to increase the amount of circulating red blood cells available for oxygen delivery. Signs and symptoms of
