ABSTRACT
We present a case in which emergency medical services (EMS) intervened on a critically ill child with known giant coronary aneurysms as sequela to her severe complicated Kawasaki disease. This patient's severe shock ultimately ended in cardiac arrest and death. We discuss the keys to recognition, and critical importance to early intervention of pediatric shock in prehospital care. We also detail the cardiac ramifications of Kawasaki disease, steps for prompt identification of high risk complaints in these patients, and opportunities for treatment.
