1:1:1
Calcium levels in massive transfusion.
Can be decreased due to citrate binding with calcium.
Lactate level below this indicate adequate resuscitation.
2.5

None.
Blood volume loss in class I hemodynamic shock.
Up to 15%
Blood volume loss in class II hemodynamic shock.
15-30%
Increased or decreased systemic vascular resistance in hypovolemic shock.
Increased SVR.
Treatment of neurogenic shock.
Dobutamine or dopamine.
