Q

Why Use the Balloon Pump?

Treatment for:

A

 Cardiogenic shock postmyocardial infarction - bridge to reperfusion therapies
 Acute myocardial ischemia / Unstable angina
 Acute cardiac defects - bridge to emergent surgery
 Bridge to transplant
 Perioperative support of high-risk cardiac and general surgical patients
 Weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass  Stabilize high-risk patient for PTCA, stent placement &
angiography
 Pharmacologically refractory ventricular arrhythmias

Q

Balloon Counterpulsation

A

Generation of a balloon pulse that is synchronized to occur opposite the cardiac cycle.
 Heart creates pulse during systole.  Balloon creates pulse during diastole.

Q

Trigger Logic

 Tells pump console when

A

he patient’s heart has entered systole
 Provides starting point for timing logic  Provides mechanism to ensure that balloon
will not be inflated during systole

Q

riggering Options

 Electrocardiogram

A

(Senses the rate at which the ECG voltage changes. Usually upstroke of R wave satisfies the criteria.)
 What if the patient has a pacemaker???  pacer A  pacer V/A-V

Q

Purpose of Timing Logic

A

Used to set the precise inflation and deflation points.

26
Q

Timing Logic

 Separate controls for

A

setting inflation

and for setting deflation

27
Q

you have to set

A

nflation point first, then set deflation
point  Changing inflation point will affect timing of
deflation point.

28
Q

timers act as

A

(literal or % of cardiac

cycle) (Affected by trigger source)

29
Q

Proper timing can ONLY be verified by

A

looking at the patient’s arterial waveform

30
Q

Effects of Balloon Inflation

Proximal Compartment

A

Increased perfusion pressure at the coronary ostia
 Increased diastolic pressure in the aortic root
What about coronary blood flow???

31
Q

during inflation in the pRoximal compartment coronary BF______ COLLATERAL CORONARY BF_______ AND PERFUSION TO HEAD VESSELS_______

A

INCREASES, MAY OPEN, INCREASES

32
Q

Effects of Balloon Inflation

Distal Compartment

A

Increased peripheral runoff
 Increased systemic perfusion
 Magnitude of effect depends on position of balloon tip (toward head or toward legs)

33
Q

Effects of Balloon Deflation

A

Rapid reduction in aortic pressure

 10 to 15 mmHg decrease in pressure (afterload)

34
Q

Effects of Decreased Afterload

A

Cardiac work is decreased Maximum tension developed by ventricle
reduced
Myocardial oxygen consumption is decreased
Balance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand may be restored
