Intra Aortic Balloon Pump and Cardiac Angiogram

Intra Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP)                                                   

Definition

• BALLOON

- it inflates and deflates in careful timing with certain parts of the cardiac cycle of systole and diastole

Intra Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP)

•CONSOLE                                                                                 

- “drives” the balloon to inflate and deflate

- contains helium in a small tank which inflates the balloon

- timing of the movements is controlled in careful synch with

 the rate and rhythm of the heart

•

Main applications

Hourly monitoring of:

: heart rate and rhythm

: record systolic/diastolic/mean arterial

pressures and diastolic augmentation

: pedal pulses distal to the catheter site

: left radial pulse

: color, temperature and capillary refill

: sensation and movement of both lower extremities

Cardiac Angiograms

Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)

- a balloon tipped catheter is used to open blocked coronary vessels & resolve ischemia

- uses: angina & acute MI

- purpose: to improve blood flow within a coronary artery—compresses and “cracks” the atheroma (plaque)

Importance of neuro equipments in medical field

MultiVisionTM - The power to bring it all together
OPMI® Neuro MultiVision from Carl Zeiss offers the surgeon the ability to harness the information and technology revolution taking place in the operating room. MultiVision has the ability to directly accept both video and computer signals. The surgeon receives all important information ‘online’ in much the same way as a pilot does from the various display instruments in the cockpit of his plane.
