Cardiac output is now indexed for BSA
Cardio Shock is used to calculate Cardiac Power Output (CPO) and Pulmonary Artery to Pulmonary Artery Index (PAPi) to help assess if a patient is a candidate for mechanical support. The calculations are based on findings from The Detroit Shock Initiative.
Cardio Shock calculates Body Surface Area (BSA) using the formula: square root (height*weight)/36. It then uses the Fick method for cardiac output, calculated as 125xBSA / ((SAO2-SVO2) * hgb * 13.4).
No, Cardio Shock explicitly states that it does not replace clinical judgment. The developer cannot take responsibility for the outcomes of its use, emphasizing that it is a tool to aid, not dictate, medical decisions.
Cardio Shock has an age rating of 17+. This is likely due to the complex medical nature of the calculations and its intended audience of healthcare professionals.
