Axillary 5.5, still not filling

Handover

Surgically placed Impella 5.5 via the left axillary yesterday. P-7 should be close to 4.5 L. You have 2.1 L and SUCTION. CVP 5, small LV on the last echo. A hungrier motor does not invent preload. Fill it, or ease P — same inlet law as CP.

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

Goals

  • · Fill restored
  • · CVP ≥ 9
  • · Flow ≥ 3.6 L/min
