1 -- With a slight decrease in circulating blood volume usually less than 500 mL the symptoms of shock are almost imperceptible. The pulse rate may be slightly elevated. If the injury is minor or of short duration, arterial pressure is usually maintained and no further symptoms occur. Nonpalpable peripheral pulses, narrowing pulse pressure, and an increase in blood glucose level are all seen in progressive shock.
