Hello,
I understand your concern and would explain that the low blood pressure is related to the extravasation of blood and plasma into the extravascular tissues (in the abdominal area and lungs).
The infusion of albumin is the main treatment, which can help maintain water inside the blood vessels and improve the heart rate and blood pressure values.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
