Kunstherzpatienten im Rettungswesen

Unter dem Begriff Kunstherztherapie versteht man die Implantation von Herzunterstützungssystemen (Ventricular Assist Devices, VAD), zumeist im linken Ventrikel (LVAD), seltener rechts (RVAD) oder biventrikulär (BVAD). Diese Systeme agieren zusätzlich – also unterstützend – zum eigenen Herzen. Die Patienten werden inzwischen i. d. R. postoperativ nach Hause entlassen, und so wird auch der Rettungsdienst zunehmend mit diesen Patienten konfrontiert.
