Placement signal looks ventricular

Handover

Fresh CP off the table. No echo or fluoro since the last cine. Placement signal is a ventricular blob, motor current is flat and high at 890 mA, flow 1.7 L at P-7. The fellow is staring at the AIC and reaching for P-8. Look at the inlet before you spin.

Uncorrected shock, suction, or a misplaced inlet progresses to pre-arrest, then a fail.

Goals

  • · Device reseated
  • · Placement signal aortic
  • · Flow ≥ 2.4 L/min
