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 […]

Navigating Heart–Lung Interactions in Mechanical Ventilation: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Advanced Management Strategies in ARDS and Beyond

Abstract Patients in critical condition who require mechanical ventilation experience intricate interactions between their respiratory and cardiovascular systems. These complex interactions are crucial for clinicians to understand as they can significantly influence therapeutic decisions and patient outcomes. A deep understanding of heart–lung interactions is essential, particularly under the stress of mechanical ventilation, where the right

Position paper for the organization of ECMO programs for cardiac failure in adults

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used increasingly for both respiratory and cardiac failure in adult patients. Indications for ECMO use in cardiac failure include severe refractory cardiogenic shock, refractory ventricular arrhythmia, active cardiopulmonary resuscitation for cardiac arrest, and acute or decompensated right heart failure. Evidence is emerging to guide the use of this

HeartMate III Autonomy Assistant in a Hemiplegic Left Ventricular Assist Device Patient: A Case Report

Abstract Terminal heart failure presents challenges, requiring cardiac transplantation, or mechanical circulatory support. Limited donor organ availability has made mechanical support crucial. Advances in centrifugal-flow systems, compared to axial-flow, have improved patient outcomes by reducing adverse events. Rehabilitation is vital for patient independence postimplantation. We developed a tool to aid hemiplegic patients in managing power
