Was the patient thrown from the source (suggestive of DC shock and may result in further blunt force trauma)? Children, especially toddlers, may insert objects into outlets, leading to shocks or burns. Electrical devices used near water sources can cause severe shocks. Was the voltage high or low (as below)?

Furthermore, educating both patients and their families is important in order to achieve good treatment compliance and better clinical outcomes. It has been routine practice in the UK since 2006. Symptoms may be non-specific in the beginning with patients quickly developing septic shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Jeff: And finally, how many of you wish there was a clearly outlined evidence-based approach to managing such patients to improve care and outcomes? Jeff: If those figures seem a bit high, another CDC study found that in a general population survey of a quarter million people between 2006-2008, 9% met the criteria for major depression.

Symptoms of heart failure and cardiogenic shock may develop in more severe cases. Patients with features of shock may require vasopressors, and the decision on the specific drug hinges on the presence or absence of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction.

Patients were enrolled in these trials if they had signs of shock, with mortality ranging from 18-29%. 13 While there is good data that early antibiotics for patients in septic shock reduce mortality 18-19 the role of early and aggressive volume resuscitation and its impacts on patient-centered outcomes remain unclear.
