| Popis: | Objective: To examine the effects of mechanical ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), in conjunction with the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), on the outcome of patients in profound cardiogenic shock. Patients: Twenty-eight consecutive patients presenting with myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock refractory to medical therapy, including dobutamine, dopamine and fluid administration. Eighteen patients were assisted by the IABP alone (IABP group), and ten patients by the IABP plus controlled mechanical ventilation with PEEP set at 10 cmH2O (IABP + CMV group). Results: Weaning from mechanical assistance was accomplished in 8 out of 18 patients in the IABP group versus 9 out of 10 patients in the IABP + CMV group (p = 0.04). Ultimately, 5 of 18 patients in the IABP group were discharged from the hospital versus 8 of 10 patients in the IABP + CMV group (p = 0.01). Conclusion: Mechanical ventilation with PEEP at 10 cmH2O supplements the IABP and may improve the survival rates of patients suffering from cardiogenic shock. |
