This month James and David look at cardiogenic shock: recognition and classification, oxygen targets, fluid resuscitation, vasopressors, inotropes, and the possibility of shock centres in the future. They're joined by Professor Dion Stub, an interventional cardiologist, prolific researcher, professor at Monash University, member of the Australian Resuscitation Council, and medical advisor to Ambulance Victoria.
