Learning Objectives
- SCAI SHOCK classification is a comprehensive scoring system for cardiogenic shock encompassing the severity, hemodynamics, onset, causes, and kinetics. However, in this event we discuss some of the limitations of this scoring system and further elaborate on additional criteria that we utilize for stratifying patients.
- Ability to recognize the etiology and the severity of shock which allows us to provide the right support for the patient. We will further elaborate on devices which include: IABP, Impella, TandemHeart, and ECMO.
- There are various phenotypes of shock. In this event, we will learn about these various phenotypes and their hemodynamic variation. Additionally, we will help characterize these patients appropriately in order for them to get the ideal therapy to improve their outcome.
