Microcirculation vs. Mitochondria—What to Target?

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2020
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

Skin microcirculatory reactivity assessed using a thermal challenge is decreased in patients with circulatory shock and associated with outcome

open access: yesAnnals of Intensive Care, 2018
Background Shock states are characterized by impaired tissue perfusion and microcirculatory alterations, which are directly related to outcome. Skin perfusion can be noninvasively evaluated using skin laser Doppler (SLD), which, when coupled with a local

Current use of inotropes in circulatory shock

open access: yesAnnals of Intensive Care, 2021
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 ...

Uncomplicated circulatory shock: a narrative review [PDF]

open access: yesEinstein (São Paulo)
Circulatory shock is a common fatal condition. Despite this, information on this syndrome in the current medical literature is fragmented and esoteric. Adherence to each basic element of care can have a profound impact on patient outcomes.

Implications of Myocardial Infarction on Management and Outcome in Cardiogenic Shock

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background The randomized DOREMI (Dobutamine Compared to Milrinone) clinical trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of milrinone and dobutamine in patients with cardiogenic shock. Whether the results remain consistent when stratified by acute myocardial

Calcium salt administration for circulatory shock due to severe hyperkalemia

open access: yesSaudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2019
Patients with severe hyperkalemia may present hemodynamic instability. The use of intravenous (IV) calcium for the treatment of hyperkalemia is based on sparse evidence. We hypothesized that the administration of calcium salts would decrease mortality in

Effect of stress doses of hydrocortisone on S-100B vs. interleukin-8 and polymorphonuclear elastase levels in human septic shock [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Stress doses of hydrocortisone a re known to have immunomodulatory effects in patients with hyperdynamic septic shock. The prognosis correlates with the presence and severity of septic encephalopathy. However, neurological evaluation is influenced by the
