Definition

It is a state of end-organ hypoperfusion due cardiac failure leading to hemodynamic changes:

• SBP < 80 mmHg or MAP < 30 mmHg than baseline
• CI < 1.8 L.min^-1·m^-2 without vasopressors support or CI 2.0 to 2.2 L.min^-1·m^-2 with vasopressors support.

Causes

Common Causes

• Cardiogenic shock

• Pump problems (e.g. post-MI), cardiomyopathy
• Mechanical (e.g. cardiac tamponade, tension pneumothorax), aortic stenosis
• Electrical eg VT or AF or most fundamentally VF

Management

Shock

ABCD Airway / O2 / 2 wide bore IV access / 12-lead ECG / focused H&P / CXR
