EKOS Endovascular System EXPLAINED!

I used to put these in all the time in my last cath lab. So many drip lines!

Yassss!! Thank you so much!!

Can you please do talk on ---- LVAD - Impella - Mechanical support devices ----- Neuromonitoring (EVD) ---

Love it. Thank you ,Eddie for this crucial sharing and reassuring you provide to we,nurses. Had 2 cases of such some time ago. Bookings came and patient came back with it. We self learnt ,scary/indeed overwhelming of patients care and safety.
How long do we wait before removal of the cath?

Thank you, sir. Very informative.

Love your videos!
Can you also do a video on CRRT? My unit has a lot of patients on those machines!
Thank you!

I woke up to this video, I'm attending an ekos training session tomorrow so this is just in time.

I'm confused with your explanation. You stated that the ultrasonic wave does not mechanically break down the clot, but then a moment later you explained that the fibrin formation was loosened up due to the same waves. Am I misunderstanding?

Caring for these at the bedside is typically fairly straightforward as the system just seems to not be overly fussy. I think the most difficult part is controlling the discomfort associated with the return of circulation to the affected limb, usually the leg from my experiences. I had patients describe it as the worst case of pins and needles they have ever experienced that is exacerbated by them not being permitted to grossly move the affected limb to avoid dislodging the catheter.

Excellent job

Very very informative as well.. plz add some vidoes about wenning (extubation ).

Literally got my first EKOS tonight and went to get education and bam… my favorite icu education channel comes up with one a day old!

Have you ever been an ER nurse ?

What do you use to film your videos? I like the style.

Thank you

You were very thorough and informative. Clear to understand!

Thank you! I had this patient yesterday and had no idea what to do besides check vitals and assess cite, and pulses.

how much this eqiupment and catether? is there this ekos in vietnam?

Saved my life in 2017! And then I had the opportunity to work for them and was able to learn the assembly process. Piezo technology is incredible. Learning how my clot was dissolved and actually understanding how the catheter worked! Thanks EKOS!!!

Had a patient with this last night and as a new nurse to ICU I didn’t even know this machine existed until I got to my shift lol. Makes so much more sense now! Thank you for your videos

Which is normally preferred first Impella if that does not work or not effective next step Ekos?

This procedure saved my life this week. I was really nervous about it but didn’t have much of a choice. The procedure went well.

Can someone explain the sheath. It is able to stay behind? How long after can it be removed or is it left to help open the lumen? What about pt care shortly after the removal? No bending, if in the groin, or lifting arm above head if in IJ? thanks in advance.

Loveddddd this video! 10/10

Thanks so much this really helps

Great vid!
