Learning Objectives

• Identify early escalation indicators and apply a standardized “golden day” pathway for patient triage and activation.
• Assess and manage complex physiology (RV dysfunction and LCOS) and implement surgical/medical optimization using case-based reasoning.
• Demonstrate device-specific skills for Impella CP, Impella 5.5, and RP Flex with SmartAssist® (repositioning, alarm troubleshooting, bedside handling).
• Execute safe weaning protocols that integrate echocardiographic assessment for position and weaning decisions.
• Contribute to ICU multidisciplinary workflows and use clinical data to inform device selection and program sustainability.

As with any medical treatment, individual results may vary. These risks need to be discussed with your doctor and recovery takes time. The success of this procedure depends on many factors, including your physical condition and your body’s ability to tolerate the procedure. Use care in the selection of your doctors and hospital, based on their skill and experience.
