25
name 5 goals in the treatment of shock

give two examples of a vasodilator
nitroglycerin | Nitroprusside
38
Blood and blood products are generally not used for volume expansion in children with shock unless shock is due to what
hemorrhage

41
hypoglycemia in preterm neonates and term neonates is defined as a blood sugar below what
45
42
For the purposes of the PALS Provider course, shock is categorized into 4 types, what are they?
hypovolemic distributive cardiogenic obstructive
43
clinically significant dehydration in children is generally associated with at least __% volume depletion, corresponding with a fluid deficit of __ ml/kg or greater
5 | 50
44
shock may be observed in children with fluid deficits of __ to __ ml/kg, but is more consistently observed with deficits of __ ml/kg or greater
50 to 100 | 100
45
failure to improve after 3 boluses of 20 ml/kg may indicate what? (4)
the extent of fluid losses may be underestimated they type of fluid being used may need to be altered ie colloid or blood there are ongoing fluid losses ie occult bleeding Your initial assumption about the etiology of the shock may be incorrect.
46
In children, the dividing line between mild and compensated vs moderate to severe hypotensive hemorrhagic shock is thought to correlate with an acute loss of about __% of blood volume.
