Searching for an ideal hemodynamic marker to predict short-term outcome in cardiogenic shock
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cardiogenic shock is a lethal condition. Physicians are searching for hemodynamic markers which could help risk-stratification of patients in this picture. Torgersen and coworkers present an hourly time integral of the cardiac power index and cardiac index drops to predict outcomes in the setting of cardiogenic shock. Continuous monitoring of hemodynamic markers may have a role in prediction of outcomes.

The Effectiveness of Inodilators in Reducing Short Term Mortality among Patient with Severe Cardiogenic Shock: A Propensity-Based Analysis
BACKGROUND The best catecholamine regimen for cardiogenic shock has been poorly evaluated. When a vasopressor is required to treat patients with the most severe form of cardiogenic shock, whether inodilators should be added or whether inopressors can be used alone has not been established. The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of these two strategies on short-term mortality in pat...

T he ideal cardiac assist device for the catheterization laboratory provides effective support for both elective high-risk patients, as well as acute or emergent patients, and has a safety and ease-of-use profile appropriate to each procedure setting. For elective highrisk percutaneous coronary interventions (HR PCI), the clinical goals of the ideal device are (1) to maintain stable systemic he...
متن کاملThe effects of short-term norepinephrine up-titration on hemodynamics in cardiogenic shock.
A higher mean arterial pressure (MAP) achieved by norepinephrine up-titration may improve organ blood flow in critically ill, whereas norepinephrine-induced afterload rise might worsen myocardial function. Our aim was to assess the effects of norepinephrine dose titration on global hemodynamics in cardiogenic shock. We prospectively evaluated 12 mechanically ventilated euvolemic patients (aged ...
متن کاملCirculating bile acids predict outcome in critically ill patients
BACKGROUND Jaundice and cholestatic hepatic dysfunction are frequent findings in critically ill patients associated with increased mortality. Cholestasis in critically ill patients is closely associated with stimulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines resulting in impaired bile secretion and subsequent accumulation of bile acids. Aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical role of circulating ...
متن کاملMild hypothermia reduces acute mortality and improves hemodynamic outcome in a cardiogenic shock pig model.
INTRODUCTION Cardiogenic shock is the main cause of death in patients hospitalized due to an acute myocardial infarction. Mild hypothermia reduces metabolism and could offer protective effects for this condition. The aim of our study was to investigate if mild therapeutic hypothermia would improve outcome and hemodynamic parameters in an ischemic cardiogenic shock pig model. METHODS Twenty-fi...
