           Summary
           “…septic shock represents a dynamic process so that the agents
           selected and their infusion dose may have to be changed over time
           based on the need to maintain adequate organ perfusion.”

           Conclusion
           Monitoring non-invasively with USCOM aided the physician to make
           timely management decisions by early recognition of the
           hemodynamic changes.

    Septic Shock -Pediatric Summary “…septic shock represents a dynamic process so that the agents selected and their infusion dose may have to be changed over time based on the need to maintain adequate organ perfusion.” Clinical practice parameters for hemodynamic support of pediatric and neonatal septic shock: 2007 update from the American College of Critical Care Medicine* Joe Brierley, MD; Joseph A. Carcillo, MD; Karen Choong, MD et al. Crit Care Med 2009 Vol. 37, No. 2 Conclusion Monitoring non-invasively with USCOM aided the physician to make timely management decisions by early recognition of the hemodynamic changes. www.uscom.com.au The Measure of Life

Editor's Notes

  • #7 Hyperdynamic circulation with relative hypovolemia.High MD – 40 (Typical 18-30)High SVI - 58 (Typical 40-55)High SVV – 35 (Typical &lt;15)Normal FTc - 350 (Typical 300-375)Low SVRI – 650 (Typical 1000-1600)Normal Vpk -1.5 (Typical 1.1-1.6)High CI - 5.1 (Typical 3.5-5.0)
  • #9 Heart rate reducedNo change to BP or Cap refill time.
  • #11 On the right track.Hyperdynamic circulation with relative hypovolemia.Heart rate contributing to the COHigh MD – 32 (Typical 18-30)High SVI - 54 (Typical 40-55)High SVV – 23 (Typical &lt;15)Normal FTc - 340 (Typical 300-375)Low SVRI – 1050 (Typical 1000-1600)Normal Vpk -1.4 (Typical 1.1-1.6)Normal CI – 3.9 (Typical 3.5-5.0)
  • #15 Hypodynamic circulationLow volume or Low contractility?Heart failure - Low Vpk - 0.9 (Typical 1.1-1.6)Low-NormalMD – 22 (Typical 18-30)High HR - 178Very low SVI - 38 (Typical 40-55)Normal SVV – 13 (Typical &lt;15)Normal FTc - 280 (Typical 300-375)Normal SVRI – 1230 (Typical 1000-1600)Low Vpk - 0.9 (Typical 1.1-1.6)Low CI – 3.3 (Typical 3.5-5.0)FTc affected by large changes in inotrope, so not helpful in this situation!
  • #17 Normodynamic circulationNormalMD – 25 (Typical 18-30)High HR - 150Normal SVI - 46 (Typical 40-55)Normal SVV – 10 (Typical &lt;15)Normal FTc - 310 (Typical 300-375)Low SVRI – 1110 (Typical 1000-1600)Normal Vpk – 1.2 (Typical 1.1-1.6)Normal CI – 3.8 (Typical 3.5-5.0)
