Hypotension

Blood pressure significantly below normal (systolic <90 mmHg), resulting in inadequate tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery.

Hypotension is a clinical sign, not a diagnosis. Causes include hypovolemia, septic shock, cardiogenic shock, neurogenic shock, and anaphylaxis. Identify and treat the cause while supporting perfusion.
