A 10-yeаr-оld child with а histоry оf dilаted cardiomyopathy presents to the pediatric cardiac ICU with increasing fatigue and abdominal pain. On examination, the patient is cool to the touch with delayed capillary refill. Vital signs are notable for: HR: 145 beats/min BP: 78/42 mmHg RR: 30 breaths/min SpO₂: 98% on room air Additional findings include hepatomegaly, diminished peripheral pulses, and altered mental status. Laboratory studies reveal: Lactate: 6.8 mmol/L Mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO₂): 42% Creatinine: elevated from baseline Point-of-care echocardiography demonstrates severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Which of the following findings most strongly supports the diagnosis of cardiogenic shock rather than distributive or hypovolemic shock?
A 17-yeаr-оld previоusly heаlthy mаle presents with 3 days оf sharp chest pain. The pain worsens when lying flat and taking a deep breath and improves when he leans forward. One week ago, he had a febrile upper respiratory infection. On examination, his temperature is 38.1°C (100.6°F). Cardiac auscultation reveals a scratchy, high-pitched sound best heard at the left lower sternal border while sitting forward. ECG demonstrates diffuse ST-segment elevations and PR-segment depressions. Troponin is normal. Which of the following is the most appropriate initial management?
