Pediatric age-adjusted shock index (SIPA)
Shock index with age-specific cutoffs for injured children.
Inputs
0 of 3years
bpm
mmHg
Patient values are shared with every calculator.
When to use
- Blunt trauma in children 4 to 16 years.
Pearls and pitfalls
- Elevated SIPA predicts need for transfusion, ICU, and severe injury better than adult cutoffs.
Why use
Age-appropriate shock recognition.
Shock index = HR ÷ SBP; elevated above 1.22 (4–6 y), 1.0 (7–12 y), 0.9 (13–16 y)
