In addition, the patient received 750 mL of fluid resuscitation with transient improvement of blood pressure. Authors' commentary: Cardiogenic shock in the setting of severe aortic stenosis. Fundamentally, cardiogenic shock is an issue of decreased cardiac output. In the cath lab, the patient’s blood pressure remained low.

There are two main reasons for an elevated lactate: the stress state and the shock state. The shock state is due to tissue hypoxia, seen in septic shock. We should use lactate to detect occult shock. Children compensate so well for shock, that subtle tissue hypoxia may not be detected until later. 2014; 14:83.
