INVASIVE HEMODYNAMIC MONITORING WITH PULMONARY ARTERY CATHETER IN SEPSIS-ASSOCIATED CARDIOGENIC SHOCK.

Background: Both sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy and worsening of preexisting cardiac disease can contribute to circulatory shock in septic patients. The early use of pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) could play a pivotal role in the management of sepsis-associated cardiogenic shock. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of early invasive hemodynamic monitoring with PAC in patients with sepsis-associated cardiogenic shock.

Temporary Mechanical Circulatory Support in Sepsis-Associated Cardiogenic Shock With and Without Acute Myocardial Infarction.

Objectives: To describe the current use and outcomes of temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients with sepsis-associated cardiogenic shocks with and without acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the United States.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: The National Inpatient Sample database from 2017 to 2019.
