Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Advances in mechanical circulatory assist device technology have allowed dozens of patients with different types of devices to live in any community in the United States. Some of the newer devices pump blood continuously, resulting in patients without pulses. The mechanical circulatory assist device teams and emergency medical services providers in the mid-Atlantic region wondered how best to prepare the community to respond appropriately to emergencies in patients with these mechanical devices. |
