When a patient first presents following serious trauma, their body’s compensatory mechanisms can mask the signs of shock, leading to a dangerous delay in appropriate treatment. In this study, a commonly used indicator in human medicine, the shock index (SI), is evaluated for use in veterinary medicine. The SI of 121 canine patients presented for vehicular trauma and 60 healthy dogs are compared, with the goal of finding a new and earlier way of identifying shock patients.

Learn how you can use the shock index to help triage the trauma cases you see, and potentially save more dogs’ lives as a result.
