The World Health Organization pediatric definitions for hypotension in resource-limited settings^[1]

These thresholds are used to guide management decisions for children in shock in resource-limited settings primarily located in low- and low-middle income countries where the availability of advanced pediatric intensive care is variable or not available, and the advanced therapies such as endotracheal intubation with mechanical ventilation, central venous and arterial access, and continuous vasoactive infusions cannot be reliably performed.
