Hemodynamic Variations In Cardiogenic Shock Phenotypes, Jason Katz
Journal of Shock and Hemodynamics
Patients with cardiogenic shock are not all the same. They present with a variety of hemodynamic profiles and other features that may allow us to create specific phenotypes. It is possible that phenotyping these patients at presentation may then help us to identify the optimal and earliest therapies that will improve outcomes and, at the same time, help us to overcome some of the heterogeneity currently undermining clinical trials.
Early Unloading In Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Shock: When, How, Where, And Why?, Benedikt Schrage
Early Unloading In Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Shock: When, How, Where, And Why?, Benedikt Schrage
Journal of Shock and Hemodynamics
As extracorporeal membrane oxygenation increases the left ventricular afterload, a successful treatment plan should include strategies to address this issue. One promising approach to do so is the addition of a second device for active left ventricular unloading. However, this relatively new approach is currently only based on retrospective data. This article summarizes the current perspectives on this approach, provides recommendations for its application, and highlights the need for randomized data on this topic.
