Key result
Clinician survey details incidence, management, and outcomes of post-cardiac surgery vasoplegic syndrome and cardiogenic shock.
Why the study?
To assess clinician-reported incidence, management strategies, and outcomes of post-cardiac surgery shock states, including vasoplegic syndrome and cardiogenic shock.
Cross-Sectional (n=63)
Yes

Milne et al. (2026) conducted a cross-sectional in Post-cardiac surgery shock states (vasoplegic syndrome and cardiogenic shock) (n=63). Current practice and management strategies was evaluated on Clinician-reported incidence, management strategies, and outcomes of post-cardiac surgery shock states. A survey of 63 European centers revealed a median clinician-reported incidence of 5% for post-cardiac surgery cardiogenic shock and 9% for vasoplegic syndrome, with highly variable management.
