Cathlas vs MCSAID

The progress of technology allows for the delivery of a collection of rare and important video images to users in a practical way that cannot be similarly produced via textbooks or peer-reviewed journals. The app is designed to cultivate and integrate contributions from users who would like to add educational images, videos and data that will enrich the knowledge of the interventional cardiology peers community. The moderation and inclusion of images will be processed by experts in the field prior to their publication online.

MCSAID is an educational application dedicated to the topic of mechanical cardiocirculatory support for patients with cardiogenic shock. A basic section introduces the definitions and classifications of cardiogenic shock as well as some of the common devices used for hemodynamic support in unstable patients. There is an algorithm for helping understand the decision process depending on key clinical variables such as cardiac output and PAPI. There are also several weaning and escalation algorithm. A calculator section is available for some common hemodynamic variables used in MCS decision-making and is available for quick-reference throughout the algorithm. MCSAID is an educational application for medical professionals and is not intended for making medical diagnoses. Medical decisions must be made by licensed professionals with the entire context of a patient’s medical history. If you are seeking a medical diagnosis, contact your physician and if you are experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency medical services.
