The rapid development of hypovolaemic shock in three of our patients with only mild dehydration suggests that these patients are extremely sensitive to small changes in blood volume.…”

This resulted in a reduction in systemic vascular resistance and pulmonary artery wedge pressure, while cardiac output increased.…”
