A 2-year-old boy presented with fever, vomiting, and lethargy. He was drowsy, tachycardic, hypotensive, and had a rash. Fluid resuscitation and antibiotics were given. USCOM monitoring showed an initially low cardiac index and high systemic vascular resistance, but improving hemodynamics over time with treatment.

7. Meningococcemia - Pediatric
Summary
Paracetamol and appropriate antibiotics for meningococcemia were given
within the first hour. Hemodynamics monitored as appropriate treatment
administered.
Conclusion
USCOM gave guidance during the resuscitation, in a very rapid way, without
any invasive procedure.

Low MD - 12 (Typical 18-30) = Hypodynamic circulationLow SVI & High SVV = probably HypovolemiaNormal SVRI â 1120 (Typical 1000-1600)Low CI â 2.8 (Typical 3.5-5.0)Low Vpk â 0.8 (Typical 1.1-1.6)Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) is used as a drug to treat cardiac arrest and other cardiac dysrhythmias resulting in diminished or absent cardiac output. Its actions are to increase peripheral resistance via α1receptor-dependent vasoconstriction and to increase cardiac output via its binding to ÎČ1 receptors.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epinephrine
