Abstract: To summarize the perioperative care experience of 6 patients with left ventricular assist device implantation based on family integrated care. The main points of care were implemented. We formed a project team to select appropriate family caregivers to participate in preoperative state optimization and psychological support,and encourage family members to participate in ICU delirium prevention. During the discharge planning period,the focus was on the training of family caregivers,and the training content of five modules were completed in phases,including the management of mechanical assistive devices,anticoagulation management,symptom management,infection prevention and control and the management of daily life. All patients successfully completed the surgery,and family caregivers were fully involved in perioperative care and mastered the target knowledge and skills before discharge,and were satisfied with family care after discharge,with no instrument and equipment failures and other complications during the follow-up at home,and no unplanned secondary admissions.
