Nitroglycerin challenge identifies microcirculatory target for improved resuscitation in patients with circulatory shock [PDF]
Background Circulatory shock and multi-organ failure remain major contributors to morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients and are associated with insufficient oxygen availability in the tissue. Intrinsic mechanisms to improve tissue perfusion,

Mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic shock
Cardiogenic shock is a complex and diverse pathological condition characterized by reduced myocardial contractility. The goal of treatment of cardiogenic shock is to improve abnormal hemodynamics and maintain adequate tissue perfusion in organs.

Current use of inotropes in circulatory shock [PDF]
Background Treatment decisions on critically ill patients with circulatory shock lack consensus. In an international survey, we aimed to evaluate the indications, current practice, and therapeutic goals of inotrope therapy in the treatment of patients ...

Influence of circulatory shock at hospital admission on outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest [PDF]
Hypotension after cardiac arrest could aggravate prolonged hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. The association of circulatory shock at hospital admission with outcome after cardiac arrest has not been well studied.

Microcirculation vs. Mitochondria—What to Target? [PDF]
Circulatory shock is associated with marked disturbances of the macro- and microcirculation and flow heterogeneities. Furthermore, a lack of tissue adenosine trisphosphate (ATP) and mitochondrial dysfunction are directly associated with organ failure and

CHALLENGING MANAGEMENT OF SEVERE MYOCARDITIS WITH COMPLETE RECOVERY – a case report [PDF]
Cardiogenic shock has a high mortality rate (up to 60%). Different respiratory and mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is sometimes needed in treating these critically ill patients.

Association between Public Reporting of Outcomes and the Use of Mechanical Circulatory Support in Patients with Cardiogenic Shock [PDF]
Risk-averse behavior has been reported among physicians and facilities treating cardiogenic shock in states with public reporting. Our objective was to evaluate if public reporting leads to a lower use of mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic ...
