Management of Cardiogenic Shock: A Review
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Cardiogenic shock (CS) is defined as a state of critical end organ hypoperfusion due to reduced cardiac output.The most frequent cause is acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with subsequent ventricular dysfunction in about 80% of cases. In spite of the advances made in the treatment of AMI, cardiogenic shock remains a leading cause of death with mortality rates approaching 40- 50%. AIM: The purpose of this review is to highlight the current concepts in the management of cardiogenic shock. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic review of published literature using PubMed and Med Line was done using search items like “cardiogenic and shock”. Secondary references obtained from this publication were identified by manual search and reviewed as relevant. RESULTS: Cardiogenic shock is characterized by inadequate tissue perfusion in the setting of adequate intravascular volume. The treatment involves general supportive measures which include; adequate oxygenation and ventilation, correction of electrolytes and acid-base abnormalities, pain reliefand restoration of sinus rhythm. Revascularizationand mechanical supports are also necessary. CONCLUSION: The diagnosis and management of cardiogenic shock are difficult and require extensive knowledge and clinical experience. In spite of the significant advances made, the management still remains a challenge.
