Shock in infants and children

J W Mathewson

    The Journal of Family Practice
    |April 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Shock, a critical condition of inadequate organ perfusion, involves insufficient microcirculatory flow. Early recognition and treatment are vital for managing reversible ischemic hypoxia and preventing irreversible stagnant hypoxia, though pediatric mortality remains high.

    Area of Science:

    • Critical Care Medicine
    • Physiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Shock is defined as generalized inadequate organ perfusion, primarily due to insufficient microcirculatory flow in critically ill patients.
    • It is characterized by excessive sympathetic tone leading to widespread vasoconstriction.
    • Two distinct phases, ischemic and stagnant hypoxia, are recognized, with the latter often irreversible.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the pathophysiology of shock, focusing on microcirculatory dysfunction.
    • To outline the clinical recognition and management strategies for shock.
    • To highlight the persistent challenge of high pediatric mortality in shock.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical observation and characterization of shock presentation.
    • Description of physiological changes during shock phases.
    • Review of current treatment modalities for shock.

    Main Results:

    • Shock presents with inadequate tissue perfusion, hypotension, and reduced urine output.
    • Phase 1 involves reversible ischemic hypoxia; Phase 2 involves irreversible stagnant hypoxia, cell disruption, and disseminated intravascular coagulation.
    • Effective treatment requires early recognition, volume resuscitation, and cardiorespiratory support.

    Conclusions:

    • Shock is a critical state of hypoperfusion with distinct pathophysiological phases.
    • Prompt medical intervention including fluid management and supportive care is crucial.
    • Despite advances, pediatric mortality from shock remains a significant concern.
