متن کاملDesign of a continuous flow centrifugal pediatric ventricular assist device.
Thousands of pediatric patients suffering from cardiomyopathy or single ventricular physiologies secondary to debilitating heart defects may benefit from long-term mechanical circulatory support due to the limited number of donor hearts available. This article presents the initial design of a fully implantable centrifugal pediatric ventricular assist device (PVAD) for 2 to 12 year olds. Convent...

متن کاملLeft ventricular assist device driveline infection and the frequency of dressing change in hospitalized patients.
OBJECTIVES To determine if driveline infection is related to dressing change frequency in hospitalized adult patients with newly implanted left ventricular assist devices (LVAD). BACKGROUND Guidelines do not exist for the frequency of driveline exit-site dressing change in hospitalized patients resulting in wide variation in practice. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted on 68...
متن کاملPharmacokinetic Assessment of Continuous Infusion Ceftolozane/Tazobactam for Drug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Left Ventricular Assist Device Driveline Infection
Conclusion. Our findings suggest that the model can reasonably identify patients whose infections would be likely to be covered by cefazolin. Further, the majority of patients would have been covered by a narrower spectrum antibiotics than what they received. Research reported in this publication was supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the NIH under Award N...
