3 Objectives Address preoperative concerns and make effective preparations for caring for the patient with a VAD at risk for massive blood loss. Discuss the assessment and required communication and intervention in the exsanguinating patient with a VAD. Recognize the endpoints for volume and blood product administration, including laboratory study and monitor data. Be familiar with the complications of massive blood loss and transfusion in this setting. xxx00.#####.ppt 2/13/2015 4:16:02 PM
