- Abstract
Shock is a state of acute circulatory failure characterised by tissue perfusion inadequate to meet the needs of the body. It rapidly leads to multi-organ failure and death if not recognised and treated early. In its simplest form, cardiogenic shock is considered "pump failure" with structural heart disease, arrhythmias and myocarditis recognised causes in children. Maximizing myocardial performance by optimising the preload, contractility and minimising afterload and enhancing systemic oxygen delivery are essential in the treatment of this high mortality condition.
