Metrics of shock in pediatric trauma patients: A systematic search and review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Shock-index (SI) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) are metrics for identifying children and adults with hemodynamic instability following injury. The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the quality of these metrics as predictors of outcomes following pediatric injury.

Materials and methods
