Case 04 — Flow lower than expected

Handover

They left the norepinephrine running after implant. SVR 2100, MAP 92, Impella CP at P-8 — and flow is stuck at 1.8 L. Lactate 3.4. Placement signal looks aortic.

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

Goals

  • · Afterload reduced
  • · Flow ≥ 2.5 L/min
  • · SVR ≤ 1500
