Disease states

Anaphylactic Shock

Vasodilation and capillary leak produce hypotension with low filling pressures.

Overview

Select Anaphylactic 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.

Vasodilation and capillary leak produce hypotension with low filling pressures.

Low systemic vascular resistance and low RA/wedge pressures.

Reference output is preserved in this illustrative vasodilatory phase.

Severe volume loss or myocardial involvement can reduce output; these alternative phases are not modeled.

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.
