In this episode, we will dive into a simple yet effective bedside approach to a patient in shock. By using quick physical exam findings and bedside vitals (particularly pulse pressure), you can form a quick assessment of the likely underlying etiology of a critically ill patient.
A brief but thorough bedside exam remembering the 4 “L’s”, a quick history, and examining the pulse pressure can help a clinician form a quick differential into the underlying etiology for a critically ill patient in shock. Stay sharp, stay systematic!
💡 Shock is a clinical diagnosis based on bedside findings — not just blood pressure readings.
You don’t always need invasive monitoring to identify shock. Look at HR, RR, UOP, and mentation.
