Measurement of blood pressure is fundamental for the management of patients in shock, yet the physiological basis and meaning of blood pressure measurements are complex and often not well understood. This article is in two parts: part 1 deals with the mechanical and physiological aspects of blood pressure and its measurement and part 2 deals with the role of changes in regional resistances in the determination of tissue perfusion and bedside approaches to management of shock.
