Q

Electrosurgical Interference ?

A

Place return plate directly under surgical site
Placement of leads away from surgical site equidistant from surgical plate
locate in same plane
Use shielded patient cables
Limit power setting to power needed

17
Q

What kind of cables to use for ECG ?

A

Use shielded patient cables

18
Q

Ectopic Beats what does the balloon do?

A

Balloon deflates on ectopic R wave

Let system track and respond

19
Q

What happens during Tachycardia ?

A

Compromises diastolic augmentation
Major problem is electromechanical delay
—-time it takes to physically inflate the balloon is fixed
—time from trigger (line A) to the start of balloon inflation (line B) decreases as HR increases
—problems occur when electromechanical delay is longer than the time from A to B

20
Q

What happens to balloon with atrial fib?

A
  • -Severe timing problem
  • -Difficult to provide effective afterload reduction
    - -changing R-R interval makes it difficult to predict the next inflation point
21
Q

Addtional problems that can come along with balloon pumps?

A
Ventricular fibrillation
Cardiac arrest
Pacemaker spikes
--atrial
--ventricular
--atrio-ventricular
22
Q

Evidence of adequate perfusion for weaning?

A

urine output >30 mls/hour
improved mental status
warm skin temperature

23
Q

No evidence of congestive heart failure for weaning?

A

rales absent

S3 absent

24
Q

Criteria for weaning?

A

Evidence of adequate perfusion
No evidence of congestive heart failure
No life threatening arrhythmias

25
Q

Hemodynamic Criteria for weaning? (4)

HR/MAP/CI

A

Cardiac index >2.0 L/min/m2
HR less than 110
MAP >70 mmHg (minimal pressor)
LAP PAEDP PWAP less than 18

26
Q

> 160 cm

A

34cc

27
Q

160-182cm = cc’s?

A

40cc

28
Q

> 182cm = cc’s

A

50cc

29

A
Inability to advance catheter  2 to 13.5%
Inability or difficulty unwrapping balloon5 to 7%
Ischemic extremities  5 to 47%
Thrombosis of emboli  1 to 7%
Arterial perforation  2 to 6%
Bleeding  3 to 5%
Infection 2-4%
Aortic dissection 1-3%

30
Q

Keep in mind – Management during the case?

A
Pausing for cannulation
Pausing/off for CPB
Back on for weaning from CPB
Re-zero pressure
Re-fill balloon
**Do not turn off unless the patient is anticoagulated
31
Q

Keep in mind during insertion and transport of IABP?

A

Choosing balloon size
Alternating trigger source and EKG source
Verifying proper timing
Ensuring leg remains straight
