			Comment: Conc: 100 units/mL. Heparin Impella ProtocolTitration as follows ONLY while patient on Impella device (heparin antiXa level  to be checked every 6 hours):  START Initial infusion rate once heparin antiXa level <=0.7units/ml: 12units/kg/hr (Maximum weight for dosing 110kg. MAXIMUM INITIAL RATE=1000units/hr); titrate as follows:1) anti-factor Xa UFH <than 0.2 units/mL, bolus 60 units/kg & increase rate by 4 units/kg/hr.2) anti-factor Xa UFH = 0.2-0.29 units/mL, bolus 30 units/kg & increase rate by 2 units/kg/hr. 3) anti-factor Xa UFH = 0.3-0.7 units/mL, (therapeutic range) Do not give bolus & do not change rate. 4) anti-factor Xa UFH = 0.71-0.95 units/mL, do not bolus. Decrease rate by 2 units/kg/hr.  5) anti-factor Xa UFH = 0.96 units/mL or more, do not give bolus. Stop infusion for 60 mins & decrease rate by 3 units/kg/hr. Upper hard limits for weight based and non-weight based infusions are as follows: 40 units/kg/hour and 3000 units/hour, respectively; if patient needs require exceeding these limits, contact pharmacy and prescriber
		25,000 units, EVERY BAG, 12 unit/kg/hr

Patient Care
	Resuscitation Status
		Full Code
		No Code
	Monitor Central Venous Pressure (CVP)
		T;N, with each vital signs, notify MD if CVP <12.
	Foley Catheter
		T;N, Insert, Critically ill requiring accurate output, with urometer
	No IM Injections
		T;N, Avoid Intramuscular injections while on heparin infusion
	Vascular Assessment-Focused
		T;N
			Comment: Assess condition of arterial site and Doppler distal pulses with each vital signs
	Notify MD
		T;N, If dressing becomes saturated or non occlusive
	Impella Monitoring and Care
		T;N
			Comment:  Mark and document placement (cm marker on the Impella catheter closes to the sheath)( for the Impella device upon arrival to ICU and with each shift assessment and evaluate position hourly. Insure the Impella catheter has been secured to inner aspect of the patient leg by Cath Lab. Monitor patient, Impella and infusion. Record required information hourly. Change FLUSH tubing every 96 hours. Change PURGE solution every 24 hours. Change PURGE cassette every 5 days.
		T;N, Notify MD if change in Impella flow/waveform, unresolved high or low purge pressure, mal-positioned pump.
		T;N
			Comment: Emergency; CPR/Defibrillation: DO NOT unplug or stop the Impella device if CPR or Defibrillation is required. 1. Reduce Impella flow to P-2 at start of chest compressions. 2. NO change is needed for defibrillation. 3. Confirm Impella placement post CPR and/or defibrillation using placement signal waveform and return to previous level of support, unless otherwise ordered by physician.
	Impella Settings
		Performance level at P2
		Performance level at P3
		Performance level at P4
		Performance level at P5
		Performance level at P6
		Performance level at P7
		Performance level at P8
		Performance level at P9
		Maintain pump performance level to keep flow___ L/min
	Impella Weaning
		T;N
			Comment: Impella Weaning is per individual MD order only.  If hypotension (SBP or MAP outside of specified parameters) occurs or the Impella is not able to run at the desired flow rate, return patient to prior P level setting and notify physician. Once patient has maintained hemodynamics on P-2 stop peripheral Heparin Infusion. Check heparin antiXa level hourly until heparin antiXa level is <0.2units/ml. Notify physician of heparin antiXa level results.
	Impella Removal
		T;N
			Comment: Only an Impella trained physician may remove the Impella Catheter. With physician at bedside, reduce flow to P-1, physician will pull the Impella Catheter back across the patient's aortic valve. THEN: reduce flow to P-0, the physician will then explant the Impella catheter and repositioning sheath together. Physician is responsible for manual hold of pressure to Impella insertion site (typically about 45 min, or about 20 min followed by application of FemStop) to achieve hemostasis.
	Notify MD
		T;N, If bleeding or hematoma at insertion site
		T;N, If signs of limb ischemia to include: change in limb color, change in limb temperature, change in or loss of distal pulses
		T;N, If significant change in VS, EKG or hemodynamics
		T;N, If reduced urine output or tea colored urine (may indicate hemolysis)
	Intake and Output
		Q1H
			Comment: Notify MD if urine output < 30ml/hr x 2.
	Discontinue Medication
		Discontinue any previous heparin orders
Consults/Follow-up
	Pharmacy Consult
		Discontinue any previous heparin orders
