Cardiac Arrest on Mechanical Circulatory Support
#criticalCare #Resuscitation #ICUEquipment
Patients undergoing mechanical circulatory support (MCS) are at high risk for cardiac arrest due to their the underlying illness. But when these patients experience cardiac arrest, resuscitation protocols need be modified to reflect device & clinical context. This ICUOnePager describes how to adjust resuscitation in the presence of ECMO, IABP, Impella, or LVAD and what to do in the perioperative setting.
