Capillary refill	Brisk (< 2 seconds)	Prolonged (> 2 seconds)	Very prolonged, mottled skin
Extremities	Warm and pink	Cool peripheries	Cold, clammy
Peripheral pulse	Good volume	Weak and thready	Feeble or absent
Heart rate	Normal heart rate for age	Tachycardia for age	Severe tachycardia or bradycardia in late shock
Blood pressure	Normal blood pressure for age Normal pulse pressure for age	Normal systolic pressure, but rising diastolic pressure Narrowing pulse pressure Postural hypotension	Narrow pulse pressure (< 20 mm Hg) Hypotension Unrecordable blood pressure
