Classification
- True hypovolaemia
- Effective hypovolaemia (distributive) where the vacular space increases but insufficient fluid is there to fill it.
- Pump problems
- Cardiogenic shock (e.g. post-MI), Cardiomyopathy
- Mechanical (e.g. Cardiac tamponade, Tension pneumothorax), Aortic stenosis
- Electrical eg VT or AF or most fundamentally VF
