Think:
💡Is MCS choice appropriate for clinical scenario?
💡Understand and frequently monitor connections & hemodynamics
💡Understand potential complications Intra-aortic balloon pump

💡Diastolic augmentation, ⬆️ MAP during augmented beat
💡⬇️ afterload and end-diastolic pressure
💡CO augmentation 0.7-1.4 l/min
💡Position: IABP tip at carina level on CXR

"CV considerations & #COVID19"

💥Viral cell entry using ACE2
💥ACEi/ARB - don't stop - no evidence of harm/benefit

💥Increased #COVID19 mortality with CVD
💥Association between elevated troponin and mortality
💥#COVID19 + elevated troponin -> older patients, more co-morbidities, higher acuity
