Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Consecutive, inborn neonates of less than or equal to 44 weeks post-menstrual age admitted in the intensive care area for shock irrespective of the etiology of shock

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1) Suspected or proven congenital heart disease which were diagnosed prior to the onset of shock (patent ductus arteriosus of prematurity would not be considered under this list of congenital heart diseases) 2) Major or life threatening congenital malformation 3) Perinatal asphyxia with severe hypoxia-ischemia (as per a gestational age appropriate neurological examination system)
