- Caption Preventing Shock
- Additional Information Shock is a life-threatening condition that affects the seriously wounded. Blood lost through injuries cannot carry oxygen to the body's vital organs, which can suddenly shut down. One of the ways that medical practitioners try to prevent shock is by restoring the patient's blood volume using bags of saline liquid like this one.
