Abstract

Hypotension is an usual event in small animals clinics, which can impact severely the clinical outcome of patients by causing acute kidney injury or multiple organ failure. It is fundamental to understand the physiopathology of this condition and to know the main diagnosis and therapeutic options to deal correctly with such cases. Therefore, the aim of this study was to briefly review the physiopathology of hypotension and to describe the main diagnostic methods, as well as the most recent treatment guidelines. The current goal-based therapy helps the professional to understand the need for an early therapeutic action as soon hypotension is diagnosed. Thus, one expects to decrease or even prevent major sequelae through a rapid return to normal blood pressure in this potentially fatal clinical syndrome.
