Pioneering ECPR service launched by Harefield Hospital and Thames Valley Air Ambulance
A new service that will see patients who have had an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest receive advanced treatment, has been launched by Harefield Hospital and Thames Valley Air Ambulance.
We are very pleased to announce national endorsement of our LVAD emergency algorithms by the Association for Cardiothoracic Anaesthesia and Critical Care in the UK.
The MLS course showcased our work and algorithms in the European Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesiology & Intensive Care masterclass in Athens, Greece.
The MLS team won high commendation in the deteriorating patients and rapid response initiative of the year at the HSJ Patient Safety Awards 2022 in Manchester.
Led by Chris Bowles the team has developed a core module of the Bristol University MSc in Perfusion Science to train UK clinical perfusionists of the future on left ventricular assist devices.
The MLS programme was nominated by Member of Parliament for Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner David Simmonds CBE for Excellence in Urgent and Emergency Care Award.
Publication of LVAD algorithm in Resuscitation Plus
We present a simplified LVAD Advanced Life Support algorithm to aid the crucial first minutes of resuscitation where basic interventions are likely to be critical in assuring good patient outcomes.
