This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a shock team approach in managing refractory cardiogenic shock requiring mechanical circulatory support.
Randomized trial design with patients experiencing refractory cardiogenic shock.
Utilized a dedicated shock team for intervention strategies.
Measured hemodynamic status and outcomes related to short-term mechanical support.
The shock team approach improved hemodynamic status in 75% of patients receiving technical intervention (OR=2.2, 95% CI 1.5-3.2, p=0.003).
Significantly reduced mortality rates observed in the shock team group (HR=0.65, 95% CI 0.45-0.92, p=0.02).
Enhanced recovery times reported for patients managed by the shock team.
