i know of the physiology in shock and GI, but not all in shock so the GI shut down is not alway total.
another thing it is not for shock resus, you can only take around 1000cc/h over the GI some if you realy bleed nop help there.

it more in long evac time for hydration, if you dont drink for 5-6h, you dont get better.
