AB More  than  1,000,000  cases  of  shock  present  to  the  Emergency  Department  per  year.  Many  critically  ill  patients  remain  in  Emergency  Departments  for  extended  periods  of  time.  Delays  in  diagnosis  and/or  therapy  may  increase  morbidity  and  mortality.1  The  underlying  physiologic  abnormality  for  all  types  of  shock  remains  inadequate  oxygen  delivery.  The  main  contributors  to  oxygen  delivery  are  cardiac  output  (CO)  and  oxygen  content.  Early  aggressive  management  of  patients  with  shock  leads  to  improved  outcomes.2
