Summary: | Despite the efforts made to improve the care of cardiogenic shock (CS) patients, including the development of mechanical circulatory support (MCS), the prognosis of these patients continues to be poor. In this context, CS code initiatives arise, based on providing adequate, rapid, and quality care to these patients. In this multidisciplinary document we try to justify the need to implement the SC code, defining its structure/organization, activation criteria, patient flow according to care level, and quality indicators. Our specific purposes are: a) to present the peculiarities of this condition and the lessons of infarction code and previous experiences in CS; b) to detail the structure of the teams, their logistics and the bases for the management of these patients, the choice of the type of MCS, and the moment of its implantation, and c) to address challenges to SC code implementation, including the uniqueness of the pediatric SC code. There is an urgent need to develop protocolized, multidisciplinary, and centralized care in hospitals with a large volume and experience that will minimize inequity in access to the MCS and improve the survival of these patients. Only institutional and structural support from the different administrations will allow optimizing care for CS.
Pese a los esfuerzos realizados para mejorar la atención al shock cardiogénico (SC), incluyendo el desarrollo de dispositivos de asistencia circulatoria mecánica (ACM), su pronóstico continúa siendo desfavorable. En este contexto surgen iniciativas de código SC, basadas en proporcionar una asistencia rápida y de calidad a estos pacientes. Este documento multidisciplinario trata de justificar la necesidad de implantar el código SC, definiendo su estructura/organización, criterios de activación, flujo de pacientes según nivel asistencial e indicadores de calidad. Sus propósitos concretos son: a) presentar las peculiaridades de esta enfermedad y el aprendizaje del código infarto y de experiencias previas en SC; b) detallar las bases para el abordaje de estos pacientes, la estructura de los equipos, su logística, la elección del tipo de ACM y el momento de su implante, y c) abordar los desafíos para la implantación del código SC, como la singularidad del código SC pediátrico. Urge desarrollar una asistencia protocolizada, multidisciplinaria y centralizada en hospitales con gran volumen y experiencia que permita minimizar la inequidad en el acceso a la ACM y mejorar la supervivencia de estos |
