Development and testing of a novel anesthesia induction/ventilation protocol for patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction

Conclusions The PPIIM protocol allows safe intubation of AMI patients with cardiogenic shock and improves hemodynamic and oxygenation parameters. Teaser This study evaluated a novel rapid sequence induction/ventilation protocol (PPIIM) in consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock. Compared to historical controls who underwent standard rapid sequence induction, the PPIIM protocol allows safe intubation and improves hemodynamic and oxygenation parameters.
