What are the Treatment Options for Shock in Cancer Patients?
Treatment for shock in cancer patients is multifaceted and depends on the underlying cause:
Fluid Resuscitation: Intravenous fluids to restore circulatory volume and improve blood pressure. Medications: Vasopressors to constrict blood vessels and increase blood pressure, antibiotics for infections, and blood transfusions if hemorrhagic shock is present. Surgical Interventions: Procedures to control bleeding or remove sources of infection. Supportive Care: Mechanical ventilation for respiratory failure, dialysis for kidney failure, and nutritional support.
