1. The baseline heart rate may be elevated at this time.
2. The blood pressure will be decreased because of the fluid loss.
3. The body temperature will be low because of the lack of subcutaneous tissue and capillary permeability.
4. The hematocrit will be elevated due to the increased capillary permeability and water loss.
5. The hemoglobin will be increased due to the increased capillary permeability and water loss.
