Article Synopsis
- Guidance on managing emergencies for LVAD patients is scarce and inconsistent, increasing the risk of inappropriate responses.
- A new resuscitation algorithm was created and validated through simulations, along with a Mechanical Life Support course aimed at boosting staff confidence and skills.
- After training, staff confidence in handling LVAD situations significantly improved, leading to faster and more effective resuscitation, including reduction in time to restart LVAD function from 49 seconds to about 20 seconds.
