The practitioner's goal at that time is to rapidly restore normal perfusion to all organ systems while continuing to support vital functions.
Hypoperfusion caused by hemorrhagic shock triggers a predictable cascade of biochemical events that will cause physiologic derangements persisting long after adequate blood flow is restored.

The extent of hypoperfusion and the depth and duration of shock-is highly correlated with the development of subsequent organ system failure
traditional vital sign markers such as BP, heart rate, and urine output have been shown to be insensitive to the adequacy of resuscitation.
