Video Summary

To code cardiogenic shock, cardiac dysfunction must be present along with specific criteria. These include sustained low systolic blood pressure less than 90, cardiac index of 2.2 or less, need for inotropic support, vasopressor agents, or mechanical support for at least 30 minutes. Transient hypotension episodes do not count. The registry acknowledges challenges in data capture and allows for flexibility in meeting all criteria. It emphasizes the importance of evidence or physician documentation to avoid presumptive coding and ensure consistent data capture.
