An intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a type of therapeutic device. It helps your heart pump more blood. You may need it if your heart is unable to pump enough blood for your body.

Intra-aortic balloon pumps are an important and widely used method of invasive hemodynamic support. This ICU OnePager explains how they work & the effect on the patients physiology. It also covers important concepts like augmentation, triggers, and timing. Current version 1.0 (originally posted 2022-05-05).

2020年11月3日 · Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) or intra-aortic counterpulsation device. the balloon is inflated during diastole to increase coronary perfusion and then deflated during systole to decrease afterload; This aims to improve myocardial oxygenation, increase cardiac output and organ perfusion with a reduction in left ventricular workload; INDICATIONS

An intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a device that controls blood flow from your heart. It deflates when your heart pumps blood out and inflates when your heart rests between beats. You may use an IABP when you’re recovering from heart surgery or after a cardiac event.

The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a mechanical device that increases myocardial oxygen perfusion and indirectly increases cardiac output through afterload reduction. It consists of a cylindrical polyurethane balloon that sits in the aorta, approximately 2 centimeters (0.79 in) from the left subclavian artery. [1] .

2024年10月10日 · Bottom line: the IABP console MAP is the reference standard. blood pressure from the IABP. The central lumen of the IABP allows monitoring of central aortic pressure. This is generally considered the gold standard for blood pressure measurement.

2023年6月20日 · Intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP) are used in the intensive care setting to provide hemodynamic assistance to patients in cardiogenic shock. The device is comprised of a catheter introduced via a femoral artery sheath, which extends retrogradely to the proximal descending thoracic aorta.

2024年8月5日 · An IABP (Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump) is an inflatable device helps boost your blood flow if your heart is weak. Learn more about the procedure, benefits and risks, and recovery.

2024年10月30日 · IABP is a form of mechanical blood flow support used temporarily when the heart may not be able to provide enough blood flow. This device uses a balloon that's placed in the aorta, inflating and deflating with each heartbeat to enhance blood flow.

2017年5月28日 · The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a form of mechanical circulatory support used in cardiogenic shock, facilitating separation from cardiopulmonary bypass, percutaneous coronary interventions, unstable angina, and thrombolytic therapy following myocardial infarction.
