Summary

This study tested a drug called penehyclidine hydrochloride in 98 critically ill children with shock. The goal was to see if it could improve tiny blood vessel function better than the usual medicine, atropine. Children were eligible if their blood pressure was normal but they still had signs of poor blood flow, like slow capillary refill or high lactate levels.
