Six ways to avoid hypovolemic shock

Abstract

LETTERS: As Malaysia grapples with the repercussions of changing monsoon patterns and the subsequent extreme heat, the Education Ministry's initiative to allow students and teachers to wear sports attire to school is commendable. One concern arising from the extreme heat is a condition known as hypovolemic shock, colloquially referred to as "organ hangus". This condition occurs when the body experiences a severe loss of fluids and blood, leading to insufficient blood supply to the organs and subsequent organ failure. The term "organ hangus" has sparked panic among people, especially parents, who are taking steps to protect their children.
