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.
