[Hyperpyrexia and shock (author's transl)]

F Graser

    Monatsschrift Fur Kinderheilkunde
    |June 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    High fever (hyperpyrexia) in children significantly worsens shock, leading to irreversible conditions. Prompt fever reduction and circulatory support are crucial for improving outcomes and reducing mortality.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric critical care medicine
    • Cardiovascular physiology
    • Infectious disease pathology

    Context:

    • Hyperpyrexia is a critical factor in pediatric shock, particularly in early childhood.
    • Infants' high arterial resistance contributes to circulatory impairment during fever.
    • Vasoconstriction in febrile children increases risks of hypoxia and heat loss.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the role of hyperpyrexia in pediatric shock.
    • To elucidate the mechanisms of circulatory failure in febrile children.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of systematic therapeutic interventions.

    Summary:

    • Hyperpyrexia exacerbates shock in children by impairing microcirculation and homeostasis through mechanisms like shivering and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
    • Meningococcal sepsis often presents with vasoconstrictive shock and DIC in febrile children.
    • Effective management requires fever control, circulatory support, and specific treatments for complications like DIC and cerebral edema.

    Impact:

    • Systematic treatment of hyperpyrexia and shock has significantly reduced fatality rates from 10% to 3%.
    • Highlights the importance of integrated management strategies for febrile children in shock.
    • Provides a framework for optimizing care in pediatric critical illness associated with high fever.
