Key Points

To review the physiological principles, clinical challenges, and management strategies surrounding respiratory support and pulmonary gas exchange in patients experiencing cardiogenic shock.
Expert clinical perspective and pathophysiological review published in the European Heart Journal: Acute Cardiovascular Care.
Synthesizes principles of cardiopulmonary interactions, noninvasive ventilation, invasive mechanical ventilation, and oxygenation strategies during acute heart failure.
Highlights how positive-pressure ventilation modulates left ventricular afterload, preload, and right ventricular function in severe shock.
Emphasizes that optimizing respiratory support requires balancing lung protective ventilation against potential hemodynamic compromise.
Underscores the necessity of personalized ventilation targets to ensure adequate tissue oxygen delivery without overburdening compromised cardiac output.
