🩸 Compensation for Hemorrhage: How the Body Fights to Keep Blood Pressure Up After Blood Loss

Explore the layered physiological response to acute blood loss, from baroreceptor-driven sympathetic surges to hormonal fluid retention, and see how compensated shock tips into decompensated shock across the four hemorrhage classes.

Medical Technology & Imaging Physics3DModerate60 FPS

This simulator shows how baroreceptor reflexes, transcapillary fluid shifts, and hormonal responses interact over time to defend blood pressure after hemorrhage, and how that defense eventually collapses into decompensated shock.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

🎮 How to Use

Adjust the amount and rate of simulated blood loss and watch heart rate, blood pressure, and compensatory hormone activity respond in real time as the scenario moves through the four hemorrhage classes.

💡 Did You Know?

Early after significant blood loss, hematocrit can look almost normal because plasma and red cells are initially lost in the same proportion, and only later does transcapillary fluid shift dilute the blood enough to reveal the true extent of the loss.
