Question 1 of 5

When a patient arrives from the cath lab, where on the console can you confirm the Impella device type (CP, 5.5, RP)?

A

Upper left part of the screen

B

Lower right trend screen

C

Purge infusion history screen

D

Alarm history screen

Question 2 of 5

The Impella purge solution MUST contain dextrose in what general concentration range?

A

0–2% dextrose

B

5–20% dextrose

C

25–50% dextrose

D

Dextrose is not required

Question 3 of 5

True/False: If the patient codes, CPR should be started immediately and the Impella P-level should be reduced to P-2 during the code.

A

True

B

False

Question 4 of 5

Which statement best matches Impella hemodynamic management taught in the lesson?

A

The Impella provides pressure, so MAP goals are less important.

B

A high MAP always increases Impella flow because it “pushes” blood forward.

C

The Impella provides flow, not pressure—so you must optimize MAP (often goal ≥ 60–65).

D

Impella flow is determined only by P-level and is not affected by afterload.

Question 5 of 5

The white LV placement waveform is calculated using which data?

A

Optical sensor data only

B

Motor current only

C

Optical sensor data plus motor current

D

Arterial line pressure transducer calibration
