Failure of the sodium-potassium pump can occur due to inadequate perfusion and oxygenation of tissues, leading to cellular dysfunction and potential organ failure. This is a consequence of significant blood loss and low mean arterial pressure, which compromise blood flow and oxygen delivery to cells.
