Meeting of the Minds• Advances in medical technology is exceeding the
community’s ability to safely manage patients with this technology
• Decision to set up meeting to work more closely• Meetings would be multi-disciplined• Goal to create a method of identifying and
provide basic management information• Bring MCSD centers together to work smarter

MARPH• Covers Virginia, DC, and Maryland• Meet monthly• Core hospitals– Virginia Commonwealth University Hospital– INOVA Fairfax Hospital– Washington Hospital Center– Johns Hopkins Hospital– University of Maryland Medical Center
![Page 6: Pre-Hospital Care of the Mechanical Circulatory Support Device Patient Dennis Rivard MA, CCP Mid-Atlantic Region Pre-Hospital MCS Task Force](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/5518beb0550346b31f8b549c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Basic Tenets
• Do not prescribe medicine• Not certifying or credentialing any clinicians• Compromise• Listen to the experts (EMS)• Collaborate whenever possible

Guides 10 Questions1. Can I do external CPR?2. If not, is there a hand pump to use?3. If device slows down (or goes into a low flow state), what
alarms will go off?4. How can I speed up the rate of the device?5. Do I need to give heparin if the pump slows down?6. Can the patient be defibrillated? 7. If OK to defib, is there anything that must be
disconnected prior to defibrillating?8. Does the patient have a pulse with this device?9. What are acceptable vital sign parameters?10.Can this patient be externally paced?

What Does the Future Hold???
• Need central resource center• Development of national information bank• One stop shopping• One phone number when placing a MCS
patient in their residence• Coordinator hot line directory
