They trained us how to change an Lvad controller before the patient leave the hospital. They train the caregiver also. We always need a refresher to renew in our minds.
Thank you! 41 years old and very fit in great shape but I have cardiac sarcoidosis in remission, defib pacemaker and severe heart failure but i’m doing ok. Learning what might be in my future.
Wow! Tremendous presentation. I’m in congestive heart failure but hopefully nowhere near an LVAD candidate yet. But if I ever digress to that point, which my doctors have already explained to me, I can only hope that whoever responds has heard your presentation. Brilliant. Thank you.
Great video. Very Informative. The patients are very educated on their LVAD, which is awesome. and are aware of what they need to do in case there is a malfunction. our system had some patients come in with LVAD and talked to us and the patients are so informed as well as their caregiver.
Great presentation. Only one issue: I am using a LVAD Heartmate III and am on a waiting list for a transplant (Bridge to Transplant - BTT). I have a colleague who was (BTT) but who is now on Bridge to Recovery as his heart got better !!! GREAT. In my eyes it is impossible to take an LVAD out without having a transplant ? Too risky. Is this the reason there are no BTR patients in your community ?
I realize this video is reportedly 8 yrs old as of today 11/28/23 but as a seasoned but retired cardiology nurse specialist who spent years & years teaching medical staff, i.e. Physicians, Nurses ancillary staff in critical care therapies, I’d like to suggest the title is changed here. If this video’s target was the CHF PATIENT/Family it’s far too technical but also, the slides are shown too fast. I hope in the past 8 years, there are changes to improve understanding & application. Edit: who is the target audience? If medical staff using repeated abbreviations is still not a great idea.
When's the driveline is disconnected and replaced with the other controller why does it make a beeping noise when it's already connected to the driveline even a high pitch sound
I would assume if there was an issue with the driveline wiring and the driveline got disconnected then reconnected it would alarm to let you know something is not normal.
The low flow alarm is sounding. Because the driveline is plugged in, and the pump restarted, the pump speeds up. The alarm sounds when it reaches 2.5 LPM . It may sound for ten seconds, then it will continue speeding up the pump. After the pump is speeding up. The alarm shuts off. The green circle of life will appear. Thanks!

These problems should never exist if people would correct things with the right diet at the first signs of high blood pressure and even better high cholesterol. Read the book of Cleveland Clinic Cardiologist Dr. Esselstyn "How to prevent and Reverse Heart Disease".
Had an extremely healthy patient who was leading an active life working as a diver doing underwater repairs (talking 6 pack abs in his late 50's). He got a ST elevation MI (the worst kind) regardless and lost a significant amount of Left ventricular function (referred to as Ejection fraction). Had a fit young woman in her early thirties with no medical problems come into us with silent heart attacks (twice within the space of weeks). Some people are just unlucky due to their genetics or the stresses of living a good life. The point I'm trying to make is not that diet and self awareness are not important, but that age and bad luck can take anyone; the universe isn't as karmic as people wish. With technology such as this we can push the boundaries of what's possible and postpone many tragedies.
Not true. My dad was very healthy but he got lymphoma and the chemo destroyed his heart. Now he needs an LVAD to live. Educate yourself. Not everything is based off of diet.

I learned a lot. My sister has an LVAD and this information will help me care for her. Thank You. Excellent presentation. BRAVO.

What a great presentation! smooth, clear, precise and extremely helpful. Thank you a lot!

This was a great presentation!!! You were so knowledgeable and fluent. Thank you so much, I learned a lot!!

Excellent demonstration...
Excellent presentation
Thanks for posting! Using this for my national recert. Cheers WILCO!

Why does the stage of heart failure disqualify someone for a transplant?
Excellent resource informative video!
Nicely done 👋
Fantastic lecture! Question, when changing the controller does the new controller go on automatically once the batteries are connected?
Yes
Once connected to the charged batteries you are good to go!!!
Thank you for this
I learned a lot
How do you take a BP if you don’t have a Doppler?
What does the Lvac mate 3 keep going off the Alarm keep going off
The dream is making an assist device unit without an external power source

Thank You 😊
When's the driveline is disconnected and replaced with the other controller why does it make a beeping noise when it's already connected to the driveline even a high pitch sound
Maybe the new controller is reminding itself the controller driveline is connected
I would assume if there was an issue with the driveline wiring and the driveline got disconnected then reconnected it would alarm to let you know something is not normal.
I know why. The Low Flow alarm went off
The low flow alarm is sounding. Because the driveline is plugged in, and the pump restarted, the pump speeds up. The alarm sounds when it reaches 2.5 LPM . It may sound for ten seconds, then it will continue speeding up the pump. After the pump is speeding up. The alarm shuts off. The green circle of life will appear. Thanks!

LVAD is for assisting the weaken or unreponsive heart muscles

My husband picked up a virus and that weakened his heart. He is going on a Lvad surgery on Tuesday.
