The most effective treatment for hypovolemic shock is a combination of colloid and crystalloids, which will help restore blood volume and improve tissue perfusion. Blood products may also be necessary in severe cases, but should not be the only treatment given. Monitoring infusions of vasoconstrictors and beta adrenergic agonists may be necessary, but these interventions do not replace the need for volume expansion with fluids.
