Prognostic implication of Vasoactive Inotropic Score in adult patients with cardiogenic shock on veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vasopressors and inotropes are crucial in managing cardiogenic shock (CS) as they enhance microcirculation in patients. Numerous studies have demonstrated the adverse outcomes associated with excessive use of vasoactive drugs and the vasoactive drug scoring system has emerged as a valuable prognostic tool, particularly in pediatric patients. This study aimed to examine the prognostic significance of the Vasoactive Inotropic Score (VIS) in adult patients with CS receiving veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) treatment.

Methods

This retrospective multi-center study involved 2,453 adult patients who underwent VA-ECMO in China between 2015 and 2021. Among them, 1,742 adult patients with CS following VA-ECMO were finally included. The maximum VIS
