Q

If IABP balloon ruptures, what will you see?

A

Rusty colored flakes

152
Q

IABP Early Inflation

A

Inflation before Aortic valve closure. Pushes blood back into left ventricle. Decreases CO and increases SVR. Harmful.

153
Q

IABP Late Inflation

A

Suboptimal due to minimal displacement of blood back toward the coronary arteries.

154
Q

IABP Early Deflation

A

Afterload reduction is lost, normal afterload pressures

155
Q

IABP Late Deflation

A

Causes a “cork in aorta” due to balloon being inflated during systole. Increased workload of Left ventricle. Very harmful

156
Q

True or False: Timing of IABP can be 1:1

A

False due to inability to evaluate efficiency. use 1:2, 1:3, 1:4. 1:8 as indicated.

157
Q

A sharp V at dicrotic notch upon IABP inflation indicates

A

Good timing of inflation

158
Q

A “Gentle U” after IABP deflation indicates

A

Good timing of deflation

159
Q

A sharp V after IABP deflation indicates

A

Late deflation

160
Q

An elevated dicrotic notch upon IABP inflation indicated

A

Early inflation

161
Q

A delay after dicrotic notch before upstroke indicates

A

Late inflation

162
Q

An elongated, non-gentle U shape upon deflation indicates

A

Early deflation

163
Q

What is the primary trigger of the IABP?

A

ECG

164
Q

What is the secondary trigger of the IABP?

A

Arterial pressure line

165
Q

When should you switch to the secondary trigger of an IABP?

A

Artifact on ECG

Cardiac Arrest

166
Q

In event of power failure, cycle balloon manually every __

A

30 minutes

167
Q

How to assure IABP tip placement

A

Get recent chest X-ray.
Balloon is 2cm distal to aortic arch (Left subclavian)
Commonly 2-3 ICS
Proximal end does not occlude renal arteries

168
Q

Transport considerations of IABP

A

Monitor urinary output
Distal pulses to left hand
Insertion side lower extremity pulses
Rust colored flakes in tubing

169
Q

What does NAVEL stand for?

A 
From peripheral to medial:
Nerve
Artery
Vein
Empty space
Lymphatics

What do Alpha 1 receptors cause when stimulated?

A

Constriction of vessels

178
Q

What do Beta 1 receptors do when stimulated?
