- Experts' recommendations for managing adult cardiogenic shock (CS) were developed using the GRADE system.
- The recommendations were created by a multidisciplinary team from French medical societies.
- Six fields of application were covered, including CS teams, symptomatic management, etiological management, organ support, temporary circulatory support, and post-CS management.
- A total of 41 recommendations were made, with varying levels of evidence (7 high, 11 moderate, 17 low).
- Optimal CS management requires structured, multidisciplinary shock teams and regional referral networks.
- Early etiological treatment, such as revascularization or urgent valve intervention, is crucial for improving outcomes.
- Hemodynamic support should prioritize norepinephrine as the first-line vasopressor and selective inotrope use.
- Temporary mechanical circulatory support (e.g., Impella, VA-ECMO) should be reserved for carefully selected patients.
