چکیده
INTRODUCTION : Mechanical Circulation Systems are a promising therapy for patients with end-stage of heart failure. Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) enforces using concomitant anticoagulant therapy. This may lead to severe complications. LVAD more and frequent users the emergency department. There several differences in cardiovascular function these patients, as well on examination. Its interpretation be challenging result potentially fatal conclusions. The aim this research was assess skills paramedic students assessing MATERIAL AND METHODS study designed simulation study. scenario provide full primary survey an unconscious, spontaneously breathing person pump implanted. Ten groups from Polish medical universities took part RESULTS Four teams started chest compressions unnecessarily. Of them, only one had contacted local coordinator discontinued after short instructions. completed driveline check six checked line without moving controller. No major errors were noted field airway assessment management consciousness, breathing, circulation. CONCLUSIONS More attention should paid educating Educators focus mainly pay complete perfusion assessment. Medical seems good tool difficult clinical cases rarely encountered practice.

Improvement of Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) in Artificial Heart Using Particle Swarm Optimization
In this approach, the Left ventricular assist pump for patients with left ventricular failure isused. The failure of the left ventricle is the most common heart disease during these days. Inthis article, a State feedback controller method is used to optimize the efficiency of a samplingpump current. Particle Swarm Algorithm, which is a set of rules to update the position andvelocity, is applied...

متن کاملDesign an Equivalent Left Ventricular Assist Device for Medical Equipment Labs
LVAD is a mechanical pump supporting a weak heart function and blood flow. Sometimes, the heart may not recover fast enough to take over the pumping action immediately after surgery, in such patients a temporary support device has been employed to maintain the pumping action until the patient’s own heart recovers. This device can be considered as a temporary alternative before the process of ar...
متن کاملStroke and Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD)
Treatment of ischemic stroke for a patient on left ventricular assist device (LVAD) by neurointerventional means is rare and many anesthesia providers are unfamiliar with both LVAD and neurointerventional protocols. Examples of this include: 1) filling for continuous-flow LVAD depend on preload and the flow is inversely related to afterload; as mean arterial pressure (MAP) increases above 80 to...
