Event or Problem Description
|
|
Impella cp 10 was inserted through the 14fr low profile sheath via the femoral artery in a 70 year old male who presented in ami/cgs without incident.The patient¿s comorbidities were unknown.The patient¿s clinical state prior to initiation of support was identified as scai shock stage d.Post procedure, in preparation to the icu, the physician had difficulty with blue locking mechanism due to it being turned to the locked position prior to attempting to lock to sheath.Once this was realized, correct locking position to the sheath was obtained and the site was dressed in standard fashion.While on support the device functioned as expected for the set p level, p-9 / 3.5l/min.However, the patient experienced ventricular tachycardia storm and expired while on support.The arrythmia and patient outcome is most likely due to the patients clinical presentation of stage d cardiogenic shock.

H6: updated codes based on the results of the investigation.H11: updated based on the results of the investigation and added clinical review.The cause of the ventricular tachycardia was not determined due to insufficient clinical details.The cause of the difficulty securing the integrated sheath lock to the sheath was likely use-related as it was turned to the locked position prior to attempting to lock to sheath.
