Key parameters in the evaluation of shock
| Physical examination |
| Capillary refill |
| Mental status |
| Extremity temperature |
| Urine output |
| Focused echocardiography |
| LV systolic function |
| RV size and function |
| LVOT VTI |
| Pericardial effusion |
| Mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valve assessment |
| Regional wall motion abnormality |
| Laboratory studies |
| Mixed venous oxygen saturation |
| Central venous oxygen saturation |
| Lactate |
LV = left ventricle; LVOT VTI = left ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral; RV = right ventricle
