METHOD FOR EVALUATING THE SEVERITY OF HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK IN PATIENTS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, anesthesiology-resuscitation, traumatology, surgery.

SUBSTANCE: according to 4-point scale one should evaluate the state of 10 clinical, hemodynamic and instrumental values in patients: patient's skin by detecting its color and moisture; hemodynamic values: heart rate, systolic arterial pressure, central venous pressure, shock index; central nervous system by studying the value of Glasgow scale; respiratory system - the frequency of respiratory movements and blood saturation; cardio-vascular system - myocardial necessity in oxygen. Each value has its own point, moreover, 0 points corresponds to that fact that the index under inspection is within age standard, 1 point - when physiological parameters at rest are different against the standard, but their functions are compensated by organs of one or two systems, 2 points - compensation is kept due to alterations in more than 2 systems and it reaches its peak, 3 points correspond to adaptation failure or affected function of one or several systems, and the sum of points being 0-4 in patients one should diagnose the absence of hemorrhagic shock, at 5-9 points - the severity of hemorrhagic shock corresponds to degree I, at 10-19 points - to degree II, at 20 points and more - to degree III.

EFFECT: higher efficiency and accuracy of diagnostics.
