Disease states

Septic Shock

An illustrative hyperdynamic septic shock profile: low systemic resistance with high forward flow.

Overview

Select Septic Shock under Clinical controls → Hemodynamic state. The bold italic live label confirms the active selection. These are the preset’s teaching features; combined disease, rate and interventions can change the resulting numbers.

An illustrative hyperdynamic septic shock profile: low systemic resistance with high forward flow.

Low systemic BP and derived SVR despite a high reference cardiac output.

Filling pressures are low to normal in this preset.

Sepsis is heterogeneous: myocardial depression, resuscitation and vasopressors can produce very different profiles.

Step by step

  1. Reset interventions if you want the untreated example.
  2. Select the condition and inspect the pressure summary and relevant waveforms.
  3. Pause for annotations; add one intervention or loading change to compare the response.
