Timing of mechanical ventilation and its association with in-hospital outcomes in patients with cardiogenic shock following ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a multicentre observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the association between the timing of invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) initiation and clinical outcomes in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) secondary to ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Design

Retrospective analysis of a multicentre registry.

Setting

Data were obtained from the Gulf-Cardiogenic Shock registry, which includes hospitals across six countries in the Middle East.

Participants

1117 patients diagnosed with STEMI and CS. Of these, 672 (60%) required MV and were included in this analysis.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included comparisons of baseline characteristics, Society of Coronary Angiogram and Intervention (SCAI) shock stage,
