Board Certification Review 2023Spotlight: Shock/MCS (OnDemand)-MCS III: MCS Complications and Patient Management

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Jennifer Calgur from Henry Ford Health discusses durable MCS (Mechanical Circulatory Support) complications and patient management. She mentions that LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device) complications should be understood in the context of the specific device being used. Vital parameters such as flow and differential pressure significantly impact device performance. Dr. Calgur explains common complications, including RV (Right Ventricular) failure, pump thrombosis, outflow occlusion, aortic insufficiency, stroke, and infections. She also emphasizes the importance of prevention and early management to improve patient outcomes. The video includes echocardiogram images and guidelines for diagnosing and managing complications. The discussion also touches on anticoagulation during non-cardiac surgeries in LVAD patients. Dr. Calgur concludes by addressing a question related to a patient case, discussing the likely hemodynamics and complications they may present. This video is part of an interactive session with polling questions and will be followed by a panel discussion on practical management of these devices. No credits were granted in the video transcript.
