Understanding Intra Aortic Balloon Pump Complications: IABP Guide for Nurses
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2024
- I dive into the potential complications associated with the use of Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps (IABP), a critical device used in cardiac care for patients with severe heart conditions. The IABP functions by rapidly shuttling helium gas into and out of a balloon located in the descending aorta, leveraging helium's low density for minimal resistance and quick inflation and deflation. Despite its life-saving potential, the use of IABP is not without risks.
