Sublingual Microcirculation in Temporary Mechanical Circulatory Support: A Current State of Knowledge
Study context
- Population
- Cardiogenic shock treated with temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS)
- Comparison
- Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation vs Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation vs Impella
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- MCS may not necessarily be associated with improved capillary flow (machine-blood interactions; nonobvious translation of macrohemodynamics into the microcirculation)
- Paucity of literature on microcirculatory assessment in MCS
