2. Cardiogenic shock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiogenic_shock

   Cardiogenic shock is a condition that is difficult to fully reverse even with an early diagnosis. [4] However, early initiation of treatment may improve outcomes. Care should also be directed to any other organs that are affected by this lack of blood flow (e.g., dialysis for the kidneys, mechanical ventilation for lung dysfunction).

3. Shock (circulatory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_(circulatory)

   Septic shock, especially septic shock where treatment is delayed or the antimicrobial drugs are ineffective, however has a mortality rate between 30% and 80%; cardiogenic shock has a mortality rate of up to 70% to 90%, though quick treatment with vasopressors and inotropic drugs, cardiac surgery, and the use of assistive devices can lower the ...

4. Vasodilatory shock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasodilatory_shock

   Early recognition and rapid treatment initiation for any types of shock. Vasodilatory shock, vasogenic shock, or vasoplegic shock is a medical emergency belonging to shock along with cardiogenic shock, septic shock, allergen-induced shock and hypovolemic shock. When the blood vessels suddenly relax, it results in vasodilation.

5. Dobutamine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dobutamine

   Dobutamine is a medication used in the treatment of cardiogenic shock (as a result of inadequate tissue perfusion) and severe heart failure. [ 2 ][ 3 ] It may also be used in certain types of cardiac stress tests. [ 2 ] It is given by IV only, as an injection into a vein or intraosseous as a continuous infusion. [ 2 ]

6. Obstructive shock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstructive_shock

   Due to these similarities, some sources place obstructive shock under the category of cardiogenic shock. [1] [5] However, it is important to distinguish between the two types, because treatment is different. [6] In cardiogenic shock, the problem is in the function of the heart itself. In obstructive shock, the underlying problem is not the pump.

7. Reperfusion therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reperfusion_therapy

   Emergency bypass surgery for the treatment of an acute myocardial infarction (MI) is less common than PCI or thrombolysis. From 1995 to 2004, the percentage of people with cardiogenic shock treated with primary PCI rose from 27.4% to 54.4%, while the increase in coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) was only from 2.1% to 3.2%. [34]

8. External counterpulsation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_counterpulsation

   The FDA approved the CardiAssist ECP system for the treatment of angina, acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock under a 510(k) submission in 1980 [1] [failed verification] Since then, additional ECP devices have been cleared by the FDA for use in treating stable or unstable angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock, and congestive heart failure.

9. Intra-aortic balloon pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intra-aortic_balloon_pump

   Cardiogenic shock when used alone as treatment for myocardial infarction. 9–22% survive the first year. Reversible intracardial mechanical defects complicating infarction, i.e. acute mitral regurgitation and septal perforation. Unstable angina pectoris benefits from counterpulsation.
