Intraaortic balloon counterpulsation in a community hospital.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our experience with intraaortic balloon counterpulsation in 41 patients documents the feasibility of a coordinated aggressive therapeutic approach in patients with potentially fatal complications of coronary artery disease. The use of intraaortic balloon pump in a non-cardiac surgical center has allowed hemodynamic support in the critically ill, safety in angiography, appropriate selection of patients for surgery, and safe transportation to a cardiac surgery center when indicated.

Prophylactic intraaortic balloon counterpulsation in high-risk cardiac surgery: a survey of opinion and current practice
INTRODUCTION Patients undergoing cardiac surgery increasingly have greater comorbidities and subsequently are at higher risk of adverse postoperative outcomes. Despite some evidence suggests that prophylactic intraaortic balloon counterpulsation reduces mortality in selected high-risk patients, its use remains low. The aim of this study was to investigate reported management strategies of high-...
متن کاملParaplegia associated with intraaortic balloon pump counterpulsation.
Two patients developed paraplegia associated with the use of the intraaortic balloon pump. In one patient, transient spinal ischemic episodes ceased after removal of the intraaortic balloon and the second patient apparently sustained spinal cord infarction. Possible etiologic mechanisms include vascular occlusion due to balloon position, arterial spasm, thromboembolic phenomena, hypotension, hy...
متن کاملBasic principles of the intraaortic balloon pump and mechanisms affecting its performance.
The intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) is the single most effective and widely used device for temporary mechanical assistance of the failing heart. Although the principles underlying IABP function are simple, various biologic factors often determine its performance in a particularly complicated way. We briefly describe the basic disciplines of counterpulsation by IABP and the induced hemodynamic ...
متن کاملIntraaortic balloon support for myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock.
BACKGROUND In current international guidelines, intraaortic balloon counterpulsation is considered to be a class I treatment for cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction. However, evidence is based mainly on registry data, and there is a paucity of randomized clinical trials. METHODS In this randomized, prospective, open-label, multicenter trial, we randomly assigned 600 pat...
متن کاملManagement of cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction: The Henry Ford Hospital experience and review of the literature.
Cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction (MI) carries a high mortality which in some series prior to 1980 exceeded 80%. Neither the use of inotropic and vasopressor agents nor intraaortic balloon counterpulsation was found to improve survival in this group of patients. Intravenous thrombolytic agents improve survival in patients with acute MI, but their role in cardiogenic sho...
