• Your aunt is critically ill with severe infection leading to septic shock → Septic Shock
• Along with this, there is heart dysfunction (cardiogenic shock) → Cardiogenic Shock
Next Steps
• ICU team will focus on:
– Identifying infection source (lungs, urine, blood, surgical site)
– Culture reports to adjust antibiotics
– Supporting organs (ventilator, BP support, etc.)
Health Tips
• Be prepared for fluctuations (improvement → worsening is common in ICU)
• Early improvement (like regaining consciousness) is a positive sign, but not final
• Emotional support for family is very important
