Cardiogenic shock causes hypoperfusion within the microcirculation, leading to impaired
oxygen delivery, cell death, and progression of multiple organ failure. Mechanical circulatory …

Purpose: Acute mechanical circulatory support (AMCS) is increasingly used in the
management of cardiogenic shock to restore end organ perfusion. Little is known about the …

Critical illness associated with cardiac pump failure results in reduced tissue perfusion in all
organs and occurs in various conditions such as sepsis, cardiogenic shock, and heart …

Handheld vital microscopes allow for direct observation of the sublingual microcirculatory
perfusion during cardiac surgery. Through the use of handheld vital microscopes, it has …

Treatment with, percutaneous extracorporeal mechanical assist devices provides the
ultimate therapeutic option to improve the macrocirculation in patients suffering from …

The main concern in shock and resuscitation is whether the microcirculation can carry
adequate oxygen to the tissues and remove waste. Identification of an intact coherence …

Although heart-lung machines and cardiac assist devices have been used successfully for
acute and chronic cardiac support for decades, controversies still remain concerning the …

Microcirculation is a particular organ of the cardiovascular system. The goal of this narrative
review is a critical reappraisal of the present knowledge of microcirculation monitoring …

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the effects of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) on
sub-lingual microcirculation as a surrogate for splanchnic microvascular perfusion …

Background Current research highlights the role of microcirculatory disorders in post-cardiac
arrest patients. Affected microcirculation shows not only dissociation from systemic …
