HeartMate III Autonomy Assistant in a Hemiplegic Left Ventricular Assist Device Patient: A Case Report

Abstract Terminal heart failure presents challenges, requiring cardiac transplantation, or mechanical circulatory support. Limited donor organ availability has made mechanical support crucial. Advances in centrifugal-flow systems, compared to axial-flow, have improved patient outcomes by reducing adverse events. Rehabilitation is vital for patient independence postimplantation. We developed a tool to aid hemiplegic patients in managing power […]

My echo checklist in venoarterial ECMO patients

Abstract Transthoracic echocardiography is an essential tool for the management of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Its ease of access makes it ideally suited for routine daily bedside assessments, which are essential for adjusting ECMO flow, detecting ECMO-related complications, evaluating the need for venting devices, and monitoring patient recovery. If transthoracic imaging is not feasible
