Abstract:
Improving organ perfusion is the aim of shock resuscitation; therefore, improving organ blood perfusion is a direct indicator for shock resuscitation. During shock, different organs have different capacities for blood flow autoregulation. The kidney is an important organ with excellent ability to autoregulate the blood flow and with vulnerability to poor organ perfusion, which places kidney perfusion in a position of necessity and priority relative to that of other organs in shock. Critical-care ultrasonography provides the best evaluation of renal perfusion.

Blood Pressure: Hypertension and Hypotension
Normal blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg. Elevated blood pressure is 120-129/under 80 mm Hg. Hypertension, warranting treatment at 130/80 mm Hg, is often asymptomatic and can lead to severe cardiovascular events, aneurysms, peripheral arterial disease, chronic renal disease, or cardiac...
