The adjusted shock index (ASI) adjusts the heart rate for fever-associated tachycardia.
Parameters:
(1) heart rate in beats per minute
(2) systolic blood pressure in mm Hg
(3) body temperature in °C
Body Temperature
Adjusted Heart Rate
<= 37°C
(heart rate)
> 37°C
(heart rate) - (10 * ((temperature) - 37))
adjusted shock index =
= (adjusted heart rate) / (systolic blood pressure)
