The best position for patients in cardiogenic shock is supine, with the patient’s head elevated 10-20° and both lower limbs elevated 20-30° to form a V-shaped position, which facilitates the return of blood from the tissues to the heart, increases the amount of cardiac blood return to the heart, and reduces stasis in the surrounding tissues. Cardiogenic shock is a tissue hypoxia that occurs when the heart pumps less blood for various reasons, causing insufficient blood flow to the surrounding tissues. Early recognition, judgment and diagnosis are the basis for successful treatment of cardiogenic shock, and maintaining blood circulation is the key to treatment.
