Shock

Once appropriate treatment is established, careful monitoring of vital signs, nutritional status, wound healing, and inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein and white blood cell), lactate levels and urine output is required to ensure that clinical improvement continues and complications are detected and managed early.[2]Evans L, Rhodes A, Alhazzani W, et al.

Intensive Care Med. 2021 Nov;47(11):1181-247. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8486643 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/34599691?tool=bestpractice.com ​ There is no specific follow-up for shock, but it should be tailored to the etiology (e.g., cardiogenic causes that have been successfully treated are likely to require intensive follow-up with the cardiologist to optimize medications and consider any future treatment).
