Official Title: Rapid Progression of Care in Cardiogenic Shock - Awake Surgical Placement of the Impella 5.5 Using Regional Anesthesia
Brief Summary:
The Abiomed Impella 5.5 is a surgically placed temporary mechanical support device used in patients in cardiogenic shock.The investigators propose using regional anesthesia (3 separate peripheral nerve blocks) to facilitate Impella 5.5 placement, a procedure which has traditionally been performed under a general anesthetic.Regional anesthesia is a proven and widely used technique to facilitate upper extremity vascular surgery cases (i.e.arteriovenous fistula creation).The investigators believe that employing these…
