Brief Summary
This prospective randomized controlled trial was designed to evaluate whether the M1/M3-selective antagonist penehyclidine hydrochloride could more effectively reverse pediatric microcirculatory dysfunction than traditional atropine, particularly when macrohemodynamics appear normalized.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- pediatric patients (aged 28 days to 18 years) admitted with shock who exhibited persistent microcirculatory impairment despite achieving macrohemodynamic stability (normalized mean arterial pressure) through standardized initial resuscitation.
- presence of at least one of the following clinical markers: (1) capillary refill time (CRT)≥ 3 seconds; (2) serum lactate \> 2 mmol/L; (3) cool extremities; or (4) a core-to-peripheral temperature gradient ≥ 2°C.
You may not qualify if:
- refusal of informed consent;
- congenital cardiovascular malformations or known inherited metabolic disorders;
- disease severity precluding reliable microcirculatory monitoring;
- patients undergoing therapeutic hypothermia, which inherently alters vasomotor tone.
