Resuscitation of patients with durable mechanical circulatory support with acutely altered perfusion or cardiac arrest: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is an increasing prevalence of durable mechanical circulatory supported patients in both the in-and-out of hospital communities. The scientific literature regarding the approach to patients supported by durable mechanical circulatory devices who suffer acutely impaired perfusion has not been well explored.
