Impella CP

Find Impella CP in Mechanical support. Continuous LV-to-aorta flow unloads the LV; systemic flow includes native ejection and pump support.

Overview

Open Interventions → Mechanical support. Choose Off, 1.5 L/min, 2.5 L/min, 3.5 L/min. Effect levels and flow targets represent illustrative modeled responses; they are not clinical dose instructions.

Continuous LV-to-aorta flow unloads the LV; systemic flow includes native ejection and pump support.

The paused reference covers the route (Percutaneous arterial access; catheter crosses the aortic valve.), example doses/settings, indications, adverse effects, contraindications/precautions and monitoring. These details are available after the intervention is selected.

What to monitor in the reference: Position, filling, flow, arterial pressure, rhythm, limb perfusion, hemolysis and anticoagulation.

Step by step

  1. Inspect the untreated disease and active treatment count.
  2. Apply the intervention and compare pressures, forward flow, rhythm and congestion.
  3. Pause for its full reference; use Off or Interventions Reset to restart the comparison.
