It is important to remember that blood pressure is only one component in the overall assessment of a child because blood pressure may remain adequate in compensated shock.
Blood pressure is the force with which the blood is pumped out from the heart. It is of two types: systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure is the one measured from the arteries when the heart pumps the blood. It has a range of about 120 mmHg. Diastolic pressure is measured from the arteries when the heart is at rest. It has a value of about 80 mmHg.
Compensated shock is the state of low blood volume in the body, and still the blood pressure remains normal because of increased heart rate. The blood vessels are also constructed for this to happen.
