    Abstract:
    The results of complex intensive therapy of cardiogenic shock have been studied in 17 patients with acute myocardial infarction developed as a complication of reconstructive surgery for ischemic heart disease. Complex therapy of cardiogenic shock included the use of intraaortic balloon contrapulsation, adrenomimetic agents, controlled lung ventilation and other intensive care procedures. 11 patients (64.7%) recovered from cardiogenic shock, 4 of them survived and were discharged from hospital. In 6 patients (35.3%) the combined use of adrenomimetics and intraaortic balloon contrapulsation had no effect. The results of intensive care procedures were shown to depend on the size of perioperative myocardial infarction, which affected the severity of hemodynamic disturbances and duration and efficacy of complex intensive therapy of cardiogenic shock. The use of intraaortic balloon contrapulsation in cardiogenic shock resistant to adrenomimetic agents led to temporary hemodynamic stabilization without improving the prognosis.
