The Diagnosis section is written too much like an instruction manual. I don't think the average reader will be tempted to treat the illness if they see the symptoms; I would hope they'd call for more professional help.

Under history, the article says "The word was possibly used to describe the lack of personality (by death or by weakness) that often occurred once a person suffered hemorrhage or massive blood loss." The sentence seems to be nonsense. What is meant by "lack of personality"? Do people become boring once they have suffered hemorrhage or massive blood loss? If the term "personality" refers to some medical term, the term should either link to a wikipedia page on the subject. If no article exists which would explain this sentence, it should be rephrased. |

- even the possibility of internal bleeding in children should always be treated aggressively.

I've seen this referred to as 'hypohemia', with 12,000 google matches to back this up (though meager compared to hypovolemia's 435,000). Perhaps I should create a redirect to this page under that name. Any thoughts? -Etafly 06:22, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
I find this article difficult to read because it has too much medical jargon which I would argue is unneeded. Added cleanup-jargon template to the top of the page. --Epochwolf (talk) 03:22, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
I have removed the sentence " When in doubt, treat hypovolemia aggressively" as there is a wealth of research saying that aggressive treatment of hypovolemia aimed at restoring pre-insult blood pressures can be very damaging[1]. Permissive Hypotension is generally advised. I do agree that blood loos should pobviously be aggressively managed but this sentence was unclear.
