IABP quiz and answers
The intra-aortic balloon is most commonly inserted through the:✔✔* Femoral
Volume and pressure inside the left ventricle at the end of diastole is referred to
as:✔✔* Preload
Resistance to flow or impedance to ventricular ejection is referred to as:✔✔*
Afterload
Coronary arteries recieve the majority of arterial blood supply during:✔✔* Diastole
The primary effects of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation are:✔✔* Decreased
myocardial oxygen demand/increased myocardial oxygen supply
Intra-aortic balloons are indicated for:✔✔* Acute coronary syndrome, cardiac and
non-cardiac surgery, and complications of heart failure
Diastolic Augmentation can be affected by:✔✔"* Timing, IAB Position, Pt
Hemodynamics"
Restriction of gas flow through the IAB may be caused by:✔✔* Kink in the catheter
Stroke volume may be decreased by:✔✔* Tachycardia, decreased cardiac index,
dysrhythmias
The two atrioventricular valves are:✔✔* Mitral and tricuspid
The two semilunar values are:✔✔* Aortic and pulmonic
The dicrotic notch signifies:✔✔* The beginning of diastole
The intra-aortic balloon will be timed to inflate:✔✔* At the dicrotic notch
The intra-aortic balloon will be timed to deflate:✔✔* Before the aortic valve opens
"Inflation of the IAB will result in:✔✔* Augmentation of the diastolic pressure and
increased coronary perfusion
Deflation of the IAB will result in:✔✔* Decreased afterload and decreased
myocardial oxygen demand
The trigger event:✔✔* Identifies the onset of the next cardiac cycle
"Proper placement of the intra-aortic balloon catheter in a femoral artery insertion is
with the tip of the catheter:✔✔"* Just distal to the left subclavian artery,
