More than a quarter of patients with early-stage cardiogenic shock had to be transferred to a higher level of care, progressed to a worse stage of shock, or died, according to a study in six US ...

To the Editor: In their review of circulatory shock, Vincent and De Backer (Oct. 31 issue)1 report that hypoperfusion can be apparent through the skin (cold extremities), the kidney (low urinary o ...

In-hospital mortality rates were 15.4% in those with hypotension and 9.5% in those with hypoperfusion. Similarly, deterioration to a higher shock class occurred in 36.3% of those with hypotension and ...

The importance of time cannot be overstated in treating all shock states, especially sepsis. All shock cases begin with tissue hypoperfusion. It is a common denominator.

Shock is the term used to describe the physiologic state when there is tissue hypoperfusion throughout multiple organs. [1] Decreased tissue perfusion leads to decreased tissue oxygen delivery ...

Evidence of end-organ hypoperfusion, with a cardiogenic cause; There were 4,842 cases of cardiogenic shock, of which 757 (16%) were in the context of STEMI. DanGer Shock also included specific ...

In the first of their two Reviews on cardiogenic shock in acute coronary syndromes, Stephen Westaby and colleagues discuss the evolving epidemiology of this condition, its clinical presentation ...

Septic shock remains defined as sepsis with hyperlactataemia and concurrent hypotension requiring vasopressor therapy, with in-hospital mortality rates approaching 30–50%.

Hemorrhagic shock is a form of hypovolemic shock in which severe blood loss leads to inadequate oxygen delivery at the cellular level. If hemorrhage continues unchecked, death quickly follows.
