Microcirculation vs. Mitochondria—What to Target?
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

Current use of inotropes in circulatory shock
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 ...

Implications of Myocardial Infarction on Management and Outcome in Cardiogenic Shock
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
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]
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
