Evaluation of preintubation shock index and modified shock index as predictors of postintubation hypotension and other short-term outcomes

摘要

Purpose: Preintubation shock index (SI) and modified shock index (MSI) have demonstrated predictive capability for postintubation hypotension in emergency department. The primary aim was to explore this relationship in the critical care environment. The secondary aims were to evaluate the relationship of shock indices with other short-term outcomes like mortality and length of stay in intensive care unit.
