Cardiogenic shock treatment.

You may also want to look at our cardiogenic shock case study to get more detailed information regarding cardiogenic shock treatment.

Cardiogenic shock is by reducing the pumping of the heart, causing shocklike state (ie, global hypoperfusion). Most frequently occurs in conjunction with, and as a direct result of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Like other states, shock, cardiogenic shock, is considered a clinical diagnosis by reducing the excretion of urine, change tion characterized, and hypotension. Other clinical characteristics include jugular venous distension, cardiac gallop, and pulmonary edema.

Role of prehospital Care in cardiogenic shock treatment.

Pre-hospital care is in the further reduction of ischemia and shock will. * All patients require intravenous access, administration of high-flow oxygen masks and monitoring of cardiac function.

Twelve-lead ECG can be performed in the field by appropriately trained health care professionals in decreasing the door to PCI times and / or thrombolytics because acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction can be detected early help. ED, and therefore may be possible to alert and mobilize resources.

Inotropic drugs should be considered in systems with trained nurses into consideration. If clinically indicated, positive pressure ventilation and intubation should be performed. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) support can be seen in specially equipped systems.

Role of ED in treatment of cardiogenic shock.

ED treatment of cardiogenic shock is on target to have the diagnosis and prevent further ischemia, and the treatment of the underlying cause. The treatment of the underlying cause is focused on acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in coronary reperfusion. This is best achieved with a rapid transfer of patients to cardiac catheterization laboratory.

Doctors should be the fact that studies have shown SHOCK aware that a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft, treatment options and has been shown to significantly reduce the mortality rate after 1 year. PCI should be started within 90 minutes presentation, but still useful as an acute intervention within 12 hours after the presentation. If such equipment is not immediately available, should be considered as thrombolytics. However, this treatment is the second best. Increased mortality is seen in situations where thrombolytics are used, instead of PCI. This is due to the relative ineffectiveness of thrombolytic therapy are to clot lysis in situations of low blood pressure.
