Thank you. Have my first patient with LVAD and going through your video was very helpful. Always worried what I would do if he has syncope in exam room. You explained everything very nicely.
I personally don't know anyone with an LVAD. I've seen some in the Emergency Room, though. Regarding training your medics on this, I can't make any recommendations. I would ask your local LVAD coordinator for help with this. My videos are purely "infotainment" - but it's probably a good idea for them to know something about LVAD's if you have patients with these in your community.

In the first few seconds, you drew the blood coming from the lungs through the pulmonary arteries. It comes through the pulmonary veins. Doesn't hurt your explanation and most people won't catch it but you may want to correct it.
The Ejection Fraction pertains to patients with Systolic CHF only. LVADs are used for Diastolic CHF as well, where there is a Preserved Ejection Fraction. Cardiac output is the measure for the LVAD implantation and NOT EJ%. The HeartWare III does have a pulse.
As a paramedic this is such an awesome video with great a great explanation of LVADs. Thanks!
I'm a new CTICU nurse and this video was fantastic! Thanks and please keep your posts coming.

Great video. Very good job. One of the few very well done video that I have ever seen (and I have seen a lot).
