IABP 2 Flashcards
Signs of Proper timing
Assisted diastolic pressure
Shape of dicrotic notch
Assisted end diastolic pressure
Assisted systolic pressure
Indications of Early Inflation
Loss of dicrotic notch
Decreased diastolic augmentation
Results of early inflation ? (6)
Regurgitation of blood into left ventricle Premature closure of aortic valve Decreased stroke volume Decreased cardiac output Increased preload Increased myocardial oxygen consumption
Indications of Late inflation ?
Widening of dicrotic notch
Results of Late Inflation (2)
Diastolic augmentation may decrease
Coronary perfusion pressure may decrease
Indications of Early Deflation?
Assisted end diastolic pressure will approach pt end diastolic pressure
Assisted systolic pressure may increase relative to pt peak systolic pressure
Results of Early Deflation ? (4)
Little or no afterload reduction Increased myocardial oxygen consumption Increased preload Retrograde coronary blood flow may occur coronary steal
Indications of Late Deflation?
Assisted end diastolic dip higher than unassisted end diastolic pressure
Assisted systolic pressure may be higher than unassisted peak systolic pressure
Results of Late Deflation (6)?
No afterload reduction Afterload may be increased Prolongation of isovolumic contraction Increased myocardial oxygen demand Decreased stroke volume Decreased cardiac output
Pt Factors Affecting Response? (4)
Heart rate
Stroke volume
Mean arterial pressure
Systemic vascular resistance
Balloon Factors Affecting Response ? (6)
Balloon in sheath Balloon not unfurled Balloon position in aorta Kink in balloon catheter Balloon leak Low helium concentration
Timing Issues? (4)
Proper timing / poor augmentation
Arterial pressure monitoring site
Changing heart rate
Automatic / Manual timing control
Timing and Trigger Issues?
Electrosurgical interference
Arrhythmias
Proper Timing/ Poor Augmentation ?
Large stroke volume
Inadequate balloon volume
Improper balloon position
Balloon too small for patient
What HR is Balloon pumping most effective?
Pumping most effective if heart rate
between 80 & 100 bpm
