Obstructive Shock

Abstract: Abstract:Obstructive shock is a less common, but important cause of shock in critically ill infants and children. It is caused by mechanical obstruction of blood flow to and/or from the heart and causes can include a tension pneumothorax, cardiac tamponade, pulmonary embolus, or cardiac defects resulting in left-sided outflow tract obstruction. Each of these can result in similar physiology with poor perfusion and oxygen delivery to the body, though the diagnosis and treatment are unique to each process and th… Show more

“…Obstructive shock is a less common, but important cause of shock in critically ill infants and children. The most common causes generally include tension pneumothorax [7], cardiac tamponade, and pulmonary embolism [8]. Also included in this category physiologically, and more specific to pediatrics, are congenital heart lesions characterized by left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, including critical aortic stenosis, coarctation of the aorta, interrupted aortic arch, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome [7].…”

“…Here, we reported a case of a 2-year-old female patient with CCAM in our tertiary hospital. Obstructive shock is a condition caused by either big vessel or cardiac ventricle obstruction [ 15 ]. The mechanical factor of intravascular or extravascular pressure could decrease the blood flow in big vessels or blood outflow, leading to a decrease in cardiac output and oxygen delivery, resulting in tissue hypoxia [ 16 ].…”

“…The mechanical factor of intravascular or extravascular pressure could decrease the blood flow in big vessels or blood outflow, leading to a decrease in cardiac output and oxygen delivery, resulting in tissue hypoxia [ 16 ]. There are several cases that can lead to obstructive shock, such as tension pneumothorax, cardiac tamponade, pulmonary embolism, and left sided cardiac obstruction [ 15 ]. In one case, a young male with mediastinal mass experienced obstructive shock [ 17 ].…”
