Fluid replacement -
Wikipedia The
third space where bodily fluid resides is the
interstitial space, or the space between the cells
within the tissues. Depletion of this space is not
life-threatening, and usually accompanies depletion of
the other spaces. Extensive tissue swelling occurs when
the third space fills with excess fluid. If this process
robs the intracellular and intravascular spaces of fluid
volume, a type of shock called distributive shock
ensues. Severe allergic reactions are an example of this
type of shock. Sepsis and some neurologic conditions can
also cause distributive shock, although by other
mechanisms.
