41 Cardiogenic Shock
41.1 What this covers
- Preschock normotensive Hypoperfusion
- Preshock hypotensive normoperfusion
- LV-dominant
41.2 Learning objectives
- Preschock normotensive Hypoperfusion
- Preshock hypotensive normoperfusion
- LV-dominant
- RV-dominant
- Bi-V CS
- E: extremis
- D: deteriorating/Doom - c, but not responding
41.3 Bottom line / summary
- Categorizing shock: !alt
- Based on invasive hemodynamic parameters.
- Note: ESCAPE trial - decompensated HF - RCT with no benefit to RHC/Swan, however not in shock patients.
- Some subsequent retrospective data that does suggest a benefit.
- Cardiac Power Output: MAP & CO / 451.
41.4 Approach
- Preschock normotensive Hypoperfusion
- Preshock hypotensive normoperfusion
- LV-dominant
- RV-dominant
- Bi-V CS
41.5 Red flags / when to escalate
- Preshock hypotensive normoperfusion
- C: Classic cardiogenic shock - hypotension
- B: beginning cardiogenic shock - relative hypotension or compensatory tachycardia without hypo perfusion.
- A: pre-shock/ at risk
- Categorizing shock: !alt
41.6 Common pitfalls
- TODO: Capture common errors or missed steps.

42 Cardiogenic shock
Categorizing shock: 
- Preschock normotensive Hypoperfusion
- Preshock hypotensive normoperfusion
- LV-dominant
- RV-dominant
- Bi-V CS
Based on invasive hemodynamic parameters. Note: ESCAPE trial - decompensated HF - RCT with no benefit to RHC/Swan, however not in shock patients. Some subsequent retrospective data that does suggest a benefit.
Cardiac Power Output: MAP & CO / 451. The strongest correlate of mortality; 0.53W is the threshold, can be used to track response.
Pulmonary Artery Pulsatility Index: [PAS - PAD] / [CVP or RAP]. If PA Capacitance and CPWP is constant, it’s a proxy for the Frank-Starling relationship. Studied mostly who will need RV support when getting LVAD
Shock Stages:
- E: extremis
- D: deteriorating/Doom - c, but not responding
- C: Classic cardiogenic shock - hypotension
- B: beginning cardiogenic shock - relative hypotension or compensatory tachycardia without hypo perfusion.
- A: pre-shock/ at risk
Shock team approach? Maybe earlier/more MCS in pre-post
