Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

External bleeding can lead to hypoperfusion due to the loss of blood and decrease in circulating volume. Dilated blood vessels may cause decreased peripheral resistance and ultimately decrease in blood pressure, leading to hypoperfusion. Damage to the heart may result in decreased cardiac output, which can lead to insufficient blood flow to the body's tissues and cause hypoperfusion. Therefore, all of the above options may lead to hypoperfusion.
