Topic Submission
The central topic of our talk is going to be about LVADs (Left Ventricular Assist Device). We thought it would be interesting because we both currently work in the cardiothoracic telemetry unit. We get patients with LVADs, but because we are new nurses, we do not have a lot of knowledge about it.
We thought it would be great to know more about current contraptions like the LVADs that can help prolong an important organ and evidently prolong someone’s life. It is a device that mainly benefits a certain group (geriatric and/or with related cardiac problems).
