Management of cardiogenic shock: state-of-the-art

Abstract: Jung et al. provide a comprehensive review addressing current knowledge and contemporary practices in the management of cardiogenic shock (CS). Despite advancements, mortality remains high, and the complexity of patient care underscores the need for individualized treatments. The authors highlight recent evidence in pharmacological therapies, mechanical circulatory support (MCS), and the potential for personalized […]

Intraoperative extracorporeal support for lung transplant: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Abstract: Pettenuzzo et al. conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis evaluating the efficacy and safety of intraoperative extracorporeal supports—veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)—compared to off-pump strategies during lung transplantation (LT). Their analysis revealed that off-pump approaches generally offered better outcomes, while V-A ECMO, particularly as a default strategy, showed

Fluid balance and outcome in cardiac arrest patients admitted to intensive care unit

Summary Renaudier et al. conducted a multicenter study to evaluate the impact of fluid balance on outcomes in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The study found that a positive fluid balance was consistently associated with increased mortality, highlighting potential benefits of restrictive fluid management in this patient group.

Navigating Hemorrhagic Shock: Biomarkers, Therapies, and Challenges in Clinical Care

Summary Hemorrhagic shock remains a leading cause of preventable death globally, characterized by a complex, time-sensitive inflammatory response that evolves from hyperinflammation to immunosuppression. This review explores the pathophysiology, progression, and systemic consequences of hemorrhagic shock, emphasizing the interplay between tissue injury, endothelial dysfunction, coagulopathy, and metabolic derangements. The article outlines established and emerging biomarkers,
