ABSTRACT
Q1 Hypovolaemic shock in the paediatric population, as compared with adults, includes all of the following except: A Children have a tendency towards delayed hypotension, followed
quickly by complete cardiovascular collapse. B Blood products should only be administered after two boluses of
5-10 mL/kg of crystalloid solution. C Children are at increased risk of heat loss, due to an increased body
surface area. D The first-choice fluid for volume resuscitation in infants should be
a crystalloid solution. E Resuscitation may necessitate the placement of an intraosseous
intravenous in children <6 years of age.
