Patient Management For VADs
1.
Assess the patients airway and intervene per your protocol.

Auscultate Heart Sounds to determine if the device is functioning and
what type of device it is. If it is continuous flow device, you should hear
a "whirling sound".
3.
Assess the device for any alarms.
4.
Look on controller usually found around the waist of the patient and to
see what color tag and device it is.
5.
Match the color on the device tag to the EMS Guide.
6.
Intervene appropriately based on the type of alarm, tag (device) and
EMS Guide.
7.
Start Large Bore IV.
8.
Assess vital signs – Use Mean BP with Doppler – with the first sound you
hear is the Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP).

If no Doppler, use the Mean on the non invasive blood pressure machine.
10. Transport to closest VAD center. Call the number on the device to
get advice.
11. Bring all of the patients equipment.
12. Bring the significant other if possible to act as a expert on the device in
the absence of consciousness in the patient.
