Hypovolemia is a surgical condition that indicates the rapid fluid loss that may result in organ failures. The outcomes of the hypovolemia are mostly due to insufficient circulating volume or scarce perfusion. Often hypovolemia is secondary to hemorrhage the reason of which includes severe internal or external blood loss and GI, thoracic and abdominal bleeding maladies (Devitt, 2001). Hypovolemia involves significant fluid loss other than blood that can be further accompanied by refractory gastroenteritis and widespread burns. Hypovolemia may develop in post-surgical incidence, bone fracture, due to ...

One positive attribute of this site was the use of analogies and humor. Although the toilet analogy for the description of absolute and relative refractory period might be considered by some to be in poor taste, it is certainly easy to remember (Segal, n.d., Cardiac contraction and ECG). From this site I learned basic information about ECGs including how to read a normal one, the steps of interpreting an ECG, and some examples ...
