Table 1.

Variations of shock index

Shock index (SI) name variation Equation Notes
SI HR/SBP
Modified SI (MSI) HR/MAP
  • MAP substituted for SBP

Age SI Age × (HR/SBP)
  • SI multiplied by patient’s age

Shock Index Pediatric Adjusted (SIPA) (HR/SBP)
  • Formula for SI is the same. Cutoffs are different for each age group:
    • Ages 4–6: >1.22
    • Ages 7–12: >1.0
    • Ages 13–16: >0.9

Abbreviations: HR, heart rate; MAP, mean arterial pressure; SBP, systolic bood pressure.
