This MedStar Health simulation course was created as a means for providers to demonstrate competency in caring for an left ventricular assist device (LVAD) patient. This simulation focuses on accurate clinical decision-making in order to facilitate appropriate actions when treating common cardiovascular & hemodynamic complications of critical care LVAD patients. The simulation also emphasizes recognizing when it is necessary to escalate care and the use of effective communication techniques to do so. The course is meant to be part of a MedStar Health LVAD credentialing curriculum, as well as a means to meet the training requirements set forth by The Joint Commission and ACGME.
