Shock

Swarnim, Brajesh Kumar Rai

Abstract :

 Shock is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children. Despite varied etiologies, the end result of pediatric shock is a state of energy failure and inadequate supply to meet the metabolic demands of the body. Delayed recognition and treatment results in progression from compensated reversible shock to uncompensated irreversible shock with widespread multiple system organ failure to death. A strong index of suspicion, early recognition and timely intervention are critical for successful outcomes in the management of paediatric shock. This paper reviews the physiological basis, classification of the various types of shock and their respective aetiologies and management.
