Optimized or Not? International Practices for VAD Speed Optimization
Purpose: VAD pump speed optimization plays a critical role in achieving optimal hemodynamics and improving clinical outcomes. To date, there is no global consensus guideline on this topic, so the primary objective of this International Consortium of Circulatory Assist Clinicians (ICCAC) study was to describe international practices for pump speed optimization and to identify differences between U.S. and international (INT) centers.
