š Cold vs Warm Shock: Quick Comparison
COLD (Vasoconstricted):
⢠Pale, mottled, cool extremities
⢠Cap refill >2s | Weak pulses
⢠Narrow pulse pressure (<20 mmHg)
⢠Common: infants, community-acquired sepsis
⢠Tx: Epinephrine 0.05-0.3 mcg/kg/min
WARM (Vasodilated):
⢠Flushed, warm throughout
⢠Cap refill <1s (flash) | Bounding pulses
⢠Wide pulse pressure (>40 mmHg)
⢠Common: adolescents, catheter-related
⢠Tx: Norepinephrine 0.05-0.3 mcg/kg/min
