Handover
INTERMACS 1, second inotrope, pressor climbing. MAP 56, CO 2.1, RA 18, PCWP 26. CPO 0.26 W. PAPi 0.78. Both ventricles have left the building. Another micro-titration is not a plan. This is an MCS conversation that should have started an hour ago.
Untreated tamponade, massive PE, or a crashed CPO/PAPi will keep dropping MAP and climbing lactate. Name the tracing, then move.
