| Weight in kg = Neonate (less than 1 month) | 3 – 5kg |
| Weight in kg = Infant (up to 1 year) | 6 – 9 kg |
| Blood Volume = | 80 ml/kg |
| Blood Pressure (ages>10) = | 90 + (age in yrs X2) |
| Blood Pressure (ages< 10) = | 70 + (age in yrs X2) |
| Decompensated Shock Neonate (less than one month) = | SBP <60 |
| Decompensated Shock Infant (up to 1 year) = | SBP <70 |
| Decompensated Shock Child (1 - Adolescent) = | SBP <70 + (age in yrs X 2) |
