Intraaortic Balloon Pump Therapy
(IABP) Questions with Correct
Answers
IABP - ANSWER-volume displacement device which provides assistance to
the LV by the inflation and deflation of a balloon which is synchronized with
the cardiac cycle
left ventricle - ANSWER-heart chamber assisted by IABP
descending aorta 1-2cm below left subclavian artery - ANSWER-positioning of
the balloon in IABP
2nd intercostal space, below subclavian, above renal arteries - ANSWER-
position of IABP balloon
short - ANSWER-IABP is a (short/long) term therapy?
, vital signs q hour, peripheral pulses, neuro checks, urine output q hour, heart
and lung auscultation, tissue perfusion - ANSWER-nursing assessments
needed for IABP care
lay flat or in reverse trendelenburg, NO HIP FLEXION, must be log-rolled -
ANSWER-positioning for IABP patients
to be sure balloon isn't blocking subclavian artery - ANSWER-why do we
check L radial pulse q hour?
MI, cardiogenic shock, aortic stenosis, mitral insufficiency, ventricular septal
defect, ischemic heart disease - ANSWER-IABP disease indications
aortic valve regurgitation, aortic aneurysm, end stage disease, PVD -
ANSWER-4 contraindications to IABP
because if aortic valve not properly closing, regurgitation occurring, inflating
a balloon will push blood back the wrong way - ANSWER-why is aortic valve
insufficiency a contraindication for IABP?
