Hemodynamic Goals In Shock Management: Is There One Target For All?, Maya Guglin
Hemodynamic Goals In Shock Management: Is There One Target For All?, Maya Guglin
Journal of Shock and Hemodynamics
The current guidelines for managing cardiogenic shock lack specificity and clarification. The main criterion for cardiogenic shock is low cardiac output, and the most important goal is to achieve adequate output from a shock state. Because of the complex nature of cardiogenic shock, a “one-size-fits-all" outline may not be the best solution. Historically, hemodynamic goals in cardiogenic shock are copied from septic shock. Because septic shock and cardiogenic shock are different hemodynamic entities, the goals should be different.

The classical paradigm of cardiogenic shock is severe impairment of left ventricular, right ventricular, or biventricular contractility resulting in decreased cardiac output and end-organ failure. In patients with preserved ejection fraction, cardiogenic shock results from impaired left ventricular filling leading to decreased cardiac output and end-organ hypoperfusion. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) comprises a heterogenous group of myocardial and systemic metabolic derangements. Cardiogenic shock with preserved left ventricular ejection is thought to be less common than with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, and therapeutic approaches are not well standardized. We aim to review the pathophysiology of cardiogenic shock …

Role Of Invasive Hemodynamics In Shock Management: Is A Pulmonary Artery Catheter Always Necessary?, Ajay J. Kirtane
Journal of Shock and Hemodynamics
The pulmonary artery (PA) catheter can be a useful tool in the management of patients with cardiogenic shock; however, there are challenges with the use of this catheter, and clinicians must balance the risks and benefits. In addition, clinicians must properly interpret data generated from a PA catheter in the context of other data to optimize a patient's 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.
