Case Scenario #2<br />
(Scrub Nurse)<br />
During a Centrimag LVAD insertion in the operating room<br />
the perfusionist hands the primed sterile lines to the field for<br />
connection to the catheter. The surgeon asks for inflow<br />
tubing and outflow tubing, respectively. The scrub nurse<br />
accidentally hands the lines up in reverse order. After the<br />
cessation of CPB and the VAD is started, the surgeon notices<br />
the heart acutely swell and the arterial pressure plummet. The<br />
surgeon asks the perfusionist to increase the VAD flow to off-<br />
load the ventricle. The condition worsens, forcing the re-<br />
initiation of CPB support.<br />
