*This code is used inconsistently by collectors. What do you want us to use for severely dehydrated patients who are in severe shock? Hypotension NYD?? or what?? If this category is only for bleeding then we need to clearly state that[[User:GHall|GHall]] 07:22, 2012 October 22 (CDT)

*Hypovolemic shock should be for any reason and the subcode could indicate "other" if not on the list. This is my opinion.

I think it should not have the words "hemorrhagic shock" as part of the title as this is misleading and most collectors will only collect bleeding-related hypovolemic shock. I am sure we have missed the hypovolemic shocks that are for other reasons because of that title. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 11:46, 2012 October 22 (CDT)
