Objective Elevated blood lactate levels are strongly associated with mortality in patients with
cardiogenic shock. Recent evidence suggests that the degree and rate at which blood …

Objectives To synthesize quantitative research findings on the prevalence and risk factors
for in-hospital mortality of patients on veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation …

Introduction and objectives Lactate and its evolution are associated with the prognosis of
patients in shock, although there is little evidence in those assisted with an extracorporeal …

Background Stress-induced hyperglycemia (SIH) is associated with poor outcomes in
cardiogenic shock (CS), and there have been inconsistent results among patients with or …

Background There is a lack of large randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that
comprehensively evaluate the effects of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation …

Introduction Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices are increasingly used as a
treatment option in resuscitation or in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS). Prophylactic …

Aims: Identifying patients who may benefit from mechanical circulatory support (MCS) after
out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) remains …

In cardiogenic shock, biomarkers should ideally help make the diagnosis, choose the right
therapeutic options and monitor the patient in addition to clinical and echocardiographic …

Background and Objectives: Pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
support is often the ultimate therapy for neonatal and pediatric patients with congenital heart …

Introduction Patients who present in shock have high expected mortality and early
resuscitation is crucial to improve their outcomes. The Critical Care Resuscitation Unit …
