Key result
Blended LVAD training is linked to a ~14% higher test pass rate versus face-to-face instruction.
Why the study?
Does Blended Learning improve educational effectiveness and reduce training time compared to traditional face-to-face training in patients with LVADs and their caregivers?
Observational (n=237)
No
Does Blended Learning improve educational effectiveness and reduce training time compared to traditional face-to-face training in patients with LVADs and their caregivers?
Blended learning for LVAD device training significantly reduces face-to-face training time and improves initial understanding test pass rates compared to traditional fully face-to-face training.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Blended LVAD training may boost pass rates and shorten sessions; hypothesis-generating, should not yet change practice.

Muratsuji et al. (2025) conducted an observational in Implantable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) training (n=237). Blended Learning (BL) vs. Traditional face-to-face instruction was evaluated on Written test pass rate (p=0.015). Blended learning for implantable left ventricular assist device training significantly increased the overall written test pass rate to 90.4% compared to 79.2% with traditional face-to-face instruction.
