AB Using  a  systolic  blood  pressure  <90  mm  Hg  as  criteria,  0.4%  to  1.3%  of  patients  presenting  to  EDs  are  in  shock.1  Mortality  depends  on  the  inciting  event.  Septic  shock  has  an  estimated  hospital  mortality  of  26%.2  Cardiogenic  shock  has  an  estimated  hospital  mortality  of  39%  to  48%.3,4  Neurogenic  shock  occurs  in  <20%  of  spinal  cord  injuries  (cervical,  19.3%;  thoracic,  7%;  lumbar,  3%).5  The  definition  of  and  treatment  approach  to  shock  continue  to  evolve,  but  the  initial  approach  to  a  patient  in  shock  follows  similar  principles,  regardless  of  the  inciting  factors  or  cause.
