Haney Mallemat: Key Principles and Pitfalls of LVAD Emergencies
Haney Mallemat, President of Scimple Education, Associate Professor at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Leen Alblaihed from the ResusX:2025 resuscitation conference:
Your LVAD patient has a low flow alarm and a MAP of 60.
Do you give a fluid bolus, or are you about to cause a catastrophic suckdown event?
Managing a crashing LVAD patient is one of the highest-stress scenarios in critical care.
This session breaks down the complex physiology into simple, actionable steps.
You’ll learn:
- The critical difference between preload and afterload problems.
- How to use ultrasound to instantly differentiate RV failure, hypovolemia, and pump thrombosis.
- The simple ABCDE framework for systematically assessing any LVAD patient.
- When it’s not only safe, but necessary, to defibrillate a patient in V-Fib who is awake and talking.
