The testing includes bloodwork, ultrasounds,&nbsp; echocardiograms, cardiac catheterization, pulmonary function tests and meeting with a dietitian, social worker, financial coordinator, cardiologist, surgeon and palliative care provider. Our team will work to coordinate these steps over just a few days. If you\u2019ve been admitted to the hospital, these tests and steps will be completed during your stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A multidisciplinary meeting of the Ventricular Assist Device Program team will review your test results.

The surgery usually takes four to six hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the VAD has been implanted, you will be transferred to the Norton Audubon Hospital open heart recovery area where nurses will monitor the ventricular assist device and help you recover from surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the initial recovery period is over and your condition is stable, you will move to the step-down unit, known as a progressive care unit. There you will complete your recovery from surgery, become familiar with the ventricular assist device and resume daily activities such as getting out of bed, eating and exercising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
