Review
Septic shock is one of the leading causes of death in intensive care units, and its incidence is increasing. Mortality rates as high as 95% are reported, with rates of 60% or more even when diagnosed and treated promptly. This review examines the definition of septic shock, its pathogenesis, and supportive therapy, with particular attention to intervention during the septic shock cascade.

Review
Septic shock is a multisystem disorder that represents the host's response to microbial invasion in its most fulminant form. One of the critical defects is a widespread inability to use available substrate for energy production. Endogenous mediators, particularly the cytokines, appear to play an essential role in this defect and in the entire host-mediated cascade. Traditional therapy remains primarily supportive. However, newer, investigational forms of therapy show promise by more directly treating the underlying disturbances.

The authors' objective was to determine the association of clinical and laboratory parameters at admission with septic myocardial dysfunction (SMD) in children with septic shock. A chart review of children aged 3 mo-17 y with fluid refractory septic shock who underwent echocardiography within 3 h of admission was undertaken (2015-2017). Univariate followed by multivariate analysis was performed to identify factors associated with SMD. Of the 95 children fulfilling the inclusion criteria, SMD was diagnosed in 44 (46%) children. Children 'with SMD' had longer capillary refill time (CRT), increased lactate, lower platelet count, increased blood urea, and increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (p < 0.05 for all) compared to those 'without SMD'. On multivariate analysis, none of these were significant. The mortality rate was higher in those 'with SMD' than 'without SMD' [36% vs. 20% (p = 0.07)]. Prolonged CRT, increased lactate, lower platelet count, increased blood urea and elevated liver enzymes at admission may be associated with SMD in children with septic shock and may warrant early assessment of cardiac function.
