• IMPELLA PUMP Did you know? 🤔 The Impella pump uses a counterclockwise spinning microaxial impeller 🔄 Engineered for precision, efficiency, and hemodynamic support. 👉Learn more: ⚙️ IMPELLA CP COMPONENTS PART 3 - PUMP, MOTOR & CATHETER SHAFT #Impella

• STEMI-DTU trial 🫀 Despite strong preclinical rationale, LV unloading + delayed PCI ❌ did NOT reduce infarct size vs immediate PCI. Higher bleeding complications ⚠️ → Immediate reperfusion remains key 🚑 #impella

• IABP NURSING CARE In IABP, ECG electrode positioning is critical for accurate triggering ⚡ Always confirm placement—remember there are 2 standards: AHA and IEC. 👉Learn more: ⚙️ INTRA-AORTIC BALLOON PUMP NURSING CARE. youtu.be/Wyxb8S3W1Ks #IABP

•STEMI-DTU Trial? 💊We look forward to the results of this pivotal trial and its potential impact on STEMI care. 🫀 STEMI-DTU trial explores LV unloading with Impella CP before PCI in anterior STEMI. ⚡ Could delayed reperfusion under protection improve outcomes? #impella
