The Kitchen Sink: Mortality Assessment of Salvage Therapies in Refractory Shock
Author(s): Daniel R. King, Katherine L. Januszewicz, Shannon C. Tillery,Molly Shay, Andrew D. Sparks, Danielle Davison,David P. Yamane
Objective: The management of refractory shock remains a challenge with nearly ubiquitous mortality requiring novel therapies to maintain hemodynamics when conventional mechanisms fail. Several exploratory therapies display potential efficacy in the literature, but it remains unclear which therapy is superior. We aim to clarify the efficacy of the current salvage therapies: Angiotensin II (ATII) vs Methylene Blue (MB) vs Vitamin C with thiamine and hydrocortisone (VC) for refractory shock. We hypothesize that these therapies will improve survivability and decrease other vasopressors in patients with refractory shock.
Design: Retrospective chart review.
Setting: Single center mixed intensive care unit (ICU).
