Neonatal shock

Neonatal shock refers to the lack of microcirculation perfusion of vital vital organs due to any acute and severe damage, reduced effective circulating blood volume and reduced cardiac output, and the supply of oxygen and nutrients in tissues has fallen below the critical level that cells can tolerate. And the accumulation of metabolites, cell structure and function damage, eventually leading to organ insufficiency. Compared with older children, neonatal shock is somewhat special. It is characterized by a more complex etiology, rapid disease progression, inconspicuous symptoms, and difficult diagnosis. When blood pressure drops and symptoms are obvious, the condition is often irreversible and the mortality rate is high. Therefore, to understand the characteristics of neonatal shock, early diagnosis is extremely important.
