Stage 3 (timing variable) Shock 1 : Can occur within hours for massive ingestion, but may occur over a longer time course. 6 Severe toxicity and shock are typically seen with serum iron concentrations above 500 g/dL and serum iron concentrations above 1000 g/dL are associated with significant mortality. McGraw Hill; 2019.

I recently gave a talk on the initial management of trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock. Clinical Take Home Point: In patients with TBI and hypovolemic shock, target a SBP or MAP ≥90mmHg, but know this is based on limited evidence. vs SBP target <90mmHg which resulted in a mortality of 33.4% NEJM 1994.

13 That is to say nothing of the effect that the type and response to shock has on the individual patients involved in these studies. Simply put, a difference greater than or equal to 12% between the largest and smallest pulse pressure can predict fluid responsiveness. Jan 2019; PMID: 30138573. Am J Respir Crit Care Med.

Was the patient thrown from the source (suggestive of DC shock and may result in further blunt force trauma)? Children, especially toddlers, may insert objects into outlets, leading to shocks or burns. Electrical devices used near water sources can cause severe shocks. Was the voltage high or low (as below)?
