Shock index (HR/SBP) can be used to know the severity of the bleeding in cases of hemorrhage. Which of the following is most indicative for significant PPH
Ans. d. 0.9-1.1 elevated shock index (hea rate/systolic blood pressure >0.9) maybe signs of tissue hypoperfusion Shock Index Shock index (SI), defined as the ratio of hea rate (HR) to systolic blood pressure (SBP). Shock index >0.9: Sign of tissue hypoperfusionQ Shock index (SI) = Hea rate (HR)/ Systolic blood pressure (SBP)
0.3-0.5
0.5-0.7
0.7-0.9
0.9-1.1
