Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) and evaluated the impact of pulmonary artery catheters (PACs) on their clinical outcomes, specifically in-hospital mortality rates and use of advanced therapies.
- - Analysis of 1,043 patients revealed that those receiving PACs had a lower in-hospital mortality rate (29.3% vs 36.2%) and were more likely to receive advanced heart failure treatments, such as mechanical circulation support.
- - The findings suggest that PACs are beneficial in managing CS, particularly for patients in more severe stages (SCAI D and E), though their use was also linked to longer stays in intensive care and hospitals.
The COVID-19 pandemic led to millions of deaths worldwide after its emergence in 2020. The SARS-CoV-2 virus primarily affects respiratory function, but immune dysregulation leading to systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and coagulopathy can predispose to systemic complications including hematologic and vascular complications. Treatment strategies for patients with COVID-19 have rapidly evolved and the effectiveness and safety of antithrombotic agents have been evaluated in multiple clinical trials.
