    AbstractThe use of ventricular assist devices (VADs) is becoming more common in cardiac surgery centers as the indications for application of these devices are expanding. Nurses caring for cardiovascular patients need to become familiar with the current clinical criteria used in VAD application. This author has developed an algorithm that is helpful in teaching VAD nursing care and evaluating cases in practice.
