Cardiogenic Shock in the Neonate

Abstract
The neonate with circulatory failure or cardiogenic shock is a formidable challenge. However, with an organized treatment plan and a well-orchestrated team, these infants can be effectively managed. Once the infant has been stabilized, and septic and hypovolemic shock have been excluded, attention should be directed to the four most likely causes of cardiogenic shock: structural heart disease with left heart obstruction, cardiac muscle disorders, cardiac dysrhythmias, and cardiac metabolic disorders.
