Hemodynamic variables and mortality in cardiogenic shock: a retrospective cohort study
Critical Care, 10/19/09
Torgersen C et al. – During the first 24 hours after intensive care unit admission, CI and CPI are the most important hemodynamic variables separately associated with 28–day mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock. A CI of 3 L/min/m^2 and a CPI of 0.8 W/m^2 were most predictive of 28–day mortality. Since the results must be considered hypothesis–generating, randomized controlled trials are required to evaluate whether targeting these levels as early resuscitation endpoints can improve mortality in cardiogenic shock.
