Management of arterial hypotension in critically Ill children: a narrative review and practical approach

Share

1

Arterial hypotension in critically ill children is a high-risk finding linked to increased mortality and adverse outcomes.
2

Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is the preferred parameter for assessing and managing hypotension in pediatric patients.
3

A target MAP at least at the 10th percentile for age is recommended to balance risks of hypoperfusion and overtreatment.
4

Early assessment using multimodal parameters, including point-of-care ultrasound, is essential for effective management.
5

Norepinephrine is supported as a first-line agent in distributive shock, with therapy tailored to the patient's underlying physiology.
