Invasive mechanical ventilation in cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction: A contemporary Danish cohort analysis

Invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is widely used in patients with cardiogenic shock following acute myocardial infarction (AMICS), but evidence to guide practice remains sparse. We sought to evaluate trends in the rate of IMV utilization, applied settings, and short term-outcome of a contemporary cohort of AMICS patients treated with IMV according to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) at admission.
