@nursedosepodcast: No pulse? No problem!…sometimes… Patients on ECMO, Impella, or LVAD can be perfusing without a palpable pulse because these devices provide continuous flow—eliminating the normal pulsatile pressure wave in a sick heart. Increased afterload can dampen pulsatility, especially in mechanical support device patients, where high systemic vascular resistance (SVR) can reduce native heart contribution. What do we need to check with these patients?? -MAP -Device Function -Perfusion indicators (organ function) .
