    AbstractCirculatory shock is an important cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality and requires early recognition and prompt institution of adequate treatment protocols. Unfortunately, the hemodynamic status of the critically ill child is poorly reflected by physical examination, heart rate, blood pressure, or laboratory blood tests. Advanced hemodynamic monitoring consists, among others, of measuring cardiac output, predicting fluid responsiveness, calculating systemic oxygen delivery in relation to oxygen demand, and quantifying (pulmonary) edema. We discuss here the potential value of these hemodynamic monitoring technologies in relation to pediatric physiology.
