0BACKGROUNDVentricular assist devices (VADs) are a proven therapy as bridge-to-cardiac transplantation in Class IIIB and Class IV heart failure patientsThe dramatic increase in the use of VADs has been unavoidable for those patients suffering end-stage heart failure due to the consistent shortage of donor organsAs mean support duration for VADs increases, more VAD patients will be living in the communityHeartMate LVAD is approved as Destination Therapy (DT)
1HM II CANDIDATESFDA Approved 4.21.08Bridge-to-Transplant (BTT)

Provides battery power in the event of extended power outage
Approximately 12 hours of support
Must be replaced if used for a period exceeding three hours

23CPR SHOULD NOT BE PERFORMED ON HEARTMATE LVAD PATIENTSUNLESS DIRECTED
24VT or VFSTABLEPatient may feel funny light headed or differentPump speeds and flows are normal, low normal, or very lowConsider cardioversion after consultation with Mechanical Assist Device Coordinator
UNSTABLEPatient unresponsiveTreat as unstable VT/VF
25LVAD PATIENT TRANSPORTTransport to assigned facilitySpare batteries, PBU and the display module should be brought to the hospital with the patientPBU weighs 29 pounds without batteriesAll modes of emergency transportation are acceptableAviation electronics will NOT interfere with LVAD and visa versa
