When a patient experiences profound cardiogenic shock, a patient might receive an intra-aortic balloon pump, a device that is timed directly to the cardiac cycle that inflates and deflates to augment coronary profusion. Or they might receive an impella, an axial flow archimedes screw that continuously pulls blood forward through the aortic valve. Both devices share the same ultimate objective: Keeping a failing heart alive. But they do this in fundamentally distinct ways. So what happens when a patient is a true clinical unicorn a deeply unstable cardiac patient that has both devices running simultaneously? This episode of the AMPED podcast answers this very question, so listen in as our team discusses their analytical process and how they navigated this unusual situation.
