Occult hypotension is a state of metabolic
acidosis despite normal cardiovascular status.
Explanation:
+ Inshocked state, cardiovascular
status/vitas (pulse, blood pressure, urine
output) are maintained until last stage of
shock
~ But this are only maintained by reducing
blood flow to skin, muscie, gut (which
causes metabolic acidosis) and divert the
blood to essential organs brain, lungs,
kidney.
~ This state of normal cardiovascular status
but continuous under perfusion (which
‘causes metabolic acidosis) is called occult
hypotension.

The decisive period
‘Theres up toa 4-hour interval before bacterial
growth becomes established enough to cause
fan infection after a breach in the tissues,
whether caused by trauma or by surgery. This
interval is called the ‘decisive period’.
It Is therefore logical that prophylactic
antibiotics should be given to cover this period
and that they could be decisive in preventing
