Patienten mit linksventrikulärem Unterstützungssystem (LVAD) im Rettungsdienst

Im Rahmen des demografischen Wandels nimmt die Anzahl der Patienten mit einer höher- bis hochgradigen Linksherzinsuffizienz zu, wodurch auch die Unterstützung des linken Ventrikels durch ein sog. LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device) im Rettungsdienst an Bedeutung gewinnt und die Wahrscheinlichkeit stetig steigt, im Notfalleinsatz auf einen Patienten mit einem kardialen Unterstützungssystem zu treffen.

Schlüsselwörter

Keywords

LVAD - HeartMate III - prehospital care - pulsatility index - suction event - emergency medicine - driveline infection - CPR - heart failure
