Key Points

  • This research examines the clinical profile and outcomes associated with shock in children aged 5-15 years.
  • Analysis of clinical records from a tertiary care hospital
  • Assessment of shock types and mortality rates
  • Evaluation of neurological involvement and inotrope use
  • High prevalence of septic shock among the children studied
  • Significant mortality rates linked to septic shock
  • Neurological issues and use of multiple inotropes correlate with worse outcomes

Abstract

School-aged children and adolescents with shock demonstrate a high prevalence of septic shock with substantial mortality. Neurological involvement and requirement for multiple inotropes predict poor outcomes. Early recognition, appropriate antimicrobial therapy, and judicious hemodynamic support remain crucial for improving survival in this age group.
