Physical exam findings of occult shock in children can be subtle. Fortunately, there are screening tools for occult shock. A (sorta) Quick Blurb about Spinal Shock If you, like me, have recently had to go back to review the difference between spinal and neurogenic shock , here is a quick refresher on the topic.

Hypothermic Arrest In general, hypothermic patients in cardiac arrest should be aggressively resuscitated. Patients can have excellent outcomes despite prolonged resuscitation. 2,3 If the patient meets criteria for resuscitation, they generally are not declared dead until their core temperature is above 32℃ (“warm and dead”).

Use of 20% intravenous lipid emulsion can be efficacious in the resuscitation of life-threatening local anesthetic toxicity, especially from bupivacaine. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation can be lifesaving for patients with cardiogenic shock or dysrhythmias that are refractory to other treatment measure s.

Patients presenting with hypothermia should not be warmed too quickly (allowing their temperature to increase by <0.5°C/hour). three shocks with 2 minutes CPR in between) have been performed. There should be an active approach to fever prevention (e.g., °C/hour). ECMO used as CPR is referred to as ECPR.)

At one of our recent education days we heard Dr Mark Russell and Dr Mark Newcombe deliver excellent presentations of cases which they had been involved in, involving resuscitative hysterotomy and neonatal resuscitation respectively. Resuscitate in air first, and use higher inflation pressures than you would with adults.

Majority of DKA patients are in a fluid deficit and present acutely with shock. Therefore, they require fluid resuscitation to restore blood pressure, correct the ketonemia and electrolyte abnormalities, and oliguria. Signs of shock to be mindful for are tachycardia, hypotension, prolonged CRT, pallor, and a weak thready pulse.

Targeted temperature management (TTM) for patients following cardiac arrest resuscitation has gone through several dosing iterations in the past two decades. Finally, the guidelines support active temperature management’s (though not necessarily hypothermia) role in improving post-arrest outcomes. degrees Celsius. Click to enlarge.
