ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Despite the growing use of temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS), little data exists to inform management and weaning of these devices.METHODS:
We performed an online survey among cardiac intensive care unit directors in North America to examine current practices in the management of patients treated with intraaortic balloon pump and Impella.RESULTS:
We received responses from 84% of surveyed centers (n=37). Our survey focused on three key aspects of daily management 1. Hemodynamic monitoring; 2. Hemocompatibility; and 3. Weaning and removal. We found substantial variability surrounding all three areas of care.CONCLUSION:
Our findings highlight the need for consensus around practices associated with improved outcomes in patients treated with tMCS.
