About

This webinar is about neonatal septic shock, a serious condition in newborns. It discusses two scenarios of infants with septic shock and explains different types of shock: hypovolemic, distributive, cardiogenic, and obstructive. The importance of understanding the baby's hemodynamic state using echocardiography (echo) is highlighted to guide treatment decisions. Various medications like dopamine and norepinephrine are mentioned for managing these conditions. Each case should be treated individually based on specific symptoms rather than following a standard approach for all patients.
