Advances in Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Nursing for Patients After Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) Implantation in the Intensive Care Stage
Abstract：Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is an important treatment for end-stage heart failure, but patients often experience a significant decline in quality of life due to postoperative decreases in cardiopulmonary function and an increase in complications. Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, as a key intervention to improve patients' functional status and prognosis, has attracted increasing attention in recent years. This study introduces the theoretical basis of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation after LVAD implantation, multidimensional assessment methods (cardiopulmonary function, coagulation function, exercise capacity, nutritional status), and comprehensive intervention measures (exercise rehabilitation, respiratory muscle training, nutritional support, multidisciplinary collaboration), aiming to provide evidence-based support for optimizing postoperative cardiopulmonary rehabilitation pathways.
