A Canadian community advancing
CANCARE connects clinicians, researchers and trainees to improve care for critically ill cardiovascular patients through collaboration, shared learning and research.
Latest evidence
Concise summaries, clinical context and links to the original research.
Clinical takeaway Shock Teams and related care models were associated with lower mortality in cardiogenic shock. These findings support further prospective evaluation rather than establishing a causal survival benefit.
Clinical takeaway The original model distinguished risk but overestimated absolute event probabilities. Updated models incorporating procedural complexity are promising for perioperative risk assessment, rather than evidence of improved clinical outcomes.
Clinical takeaway Elevated MAP targets showed no clear mortality benefit in septic shock. The findings raise concern about greater treatment burden, but very low certainty limits conclusions about benefit or harm.
