Childs normal blood volume
80ml/kg
Infants normal blood volume
100ml/kg
Occurs when there is compromised cardiac output secondary to myocardial dysfunction
Cardiogenic shock
Occurs when there is redistribution of fluid within the vascular space
Distributive shock
Normal BP but increased HR and irritabilty are present
Compensated shock
Decompensated shock occurs when —% of effective circulating blood volume is lost and patients decompensates and BP decreases
