Postoperative Hypotension

Video talking about the common causes of hypotension (circulatory shock) in the postoperative patient. Focus on practical applicability: how do we temporize a patient in shock while we are working them up, what data do we have to tell us what types of shock are common or uncommon in these patients, what items should we be sure to include in our work up?

Essentially, this video aims to take a stressful and chaotic scenario (postop hypotension) and help you respond in a calm and methodical manner despite limited data because you know the most common causes and are familiar with temporizing treatments.
