Sepsis: This can induce widespread vasodilation and capillary leak, exacerbating hypotension. Blood Tests: Can help identify underlying causes such as infection (sepsis), anaemia, or electrolyte imbalances. Before considering fluid resuscitation or inotropes, it is essential to correct the infant’s body temperature.

The ATHOS-3 trial in 2017 explored the efficacy of angiotensin II as a vasopressor for severe vasodilatory shock. Severe shock is defined as persistent hypotension requiring vasopressors to maintain a mean arterial pressure of 65mmHg and serum lactate <2 despite adequate volume resuscitation. were more likely to respond.

Septic sheep randomized to early, rapid volume resuscitation had greater vasopressor requirements 12 hours after initial fluid bolus.

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. If you can use Doppler, then you can diagnose it.
