This video provides a comprehensive nursing management guide for patients with an Impella CP device implanted in the ICU. The Impella device is a microaxial ventricular assist device used to support hemodynamic stability in patients undergoing high-risk PCI or experiencing cardiogenic shock.

In this practical and clinically-focused tutorial, we cover:
✅ Proper securement of the catheter and sterile sleeve
✅ Guidance on purge system care
✅ Use of the Automated Impella Controller, including monitoring screens
✅ Nursing protocols for mobility, skin care, and perfusion monitoring
✅ Early identification of complications such as hemolysis, displacement, or limb ischemia
✅ Standardized checklists and hourly flowsheets to ensure safe and consistent care

Whether you're a bedside nurse, educator, or ICU team leader, this video will help you reinforce best practices for managing patients with the Impella CP device.

📋 Downloadable checklists and flowsheets are available below and can be adapted to your institution's local protocols.
