Question
how will the current generation of continuous - flow left ventricular assist devices complicate the bls assessment? choose the correct answer the devices will not produce a pulse the devices will produce abnormal breathing patterns the devices will interfere with aed operation defibrillation is ineffective with left ventricular assist devices
Continuous - flow left ventricular assist devices do not generate a palpable pulse which complicates the basic life support (BLS) assessment as BLS often relies on pulse - detection. Abnormal breathing patterns are not a direct complication related to BLS assessment for these devices. These devices do not typically interfere with AED operation and defibrillation can still be attempted in appropriate cases.
