📋 Cold vs Warm Shock: Quick Comparison

COLD (Vasoconstricted):
• Pale, mottled, cool extremities
• Cap refill >2s | Weak pulses
• Narrow pulse pressure (<20 mmHg)
• Common: infants, community-acquired sepsis
• Tx: Epinephrine 0.05-0.3 mcg/kg/min

WARM (Vasodilated):
• Flushed, warm throughout
• Cap refill <1s (flash) | Bounding pulses
• Wide pulse pressure (>40 mmHg)
• Common: adolescents, catheter-related
• Tx: Norepinephrine 0.05-0.3 mcg/kg/min
