Abstract

Background: Hemorrhagic shock is a form of hypovolemic shock resulting from decreased blood volume (hypovolemia) caused by blood loss which leads to reduced cardiac output and organ perfusion. It a life-threatening emergency if hemorrhage continues unchecked, death quickly follows. We report perioperative management of a 25 year-old anemic patient who was in hemorrhagic shock with a ruptured ectopic pregnancy for emergency laparotomy it’s an anesthesia challenge.
