Abstract 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 venoarterial oxygenation..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiogenic shock is an uncommon but serious complication of acute myocardial infarction. Temporary mechanical circulatory support devices are being used more often in this setting, and physicians are required..
