— Intra aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a mechanical device inserted in the aorta to help the heart pump blood
— It consists of a long thin tube called as the catheter and a balloon at the end of it which inflates and deflates in sync with the rhythm of the heart
— Intra Aortic Balloon Pump increases perfusion of myocardial oxygen and increases cardiac output while taking off workload from the heart
— The IABP is connected to a computer which controls inflation and deflation, pressure and timing
Indications for the administration of Intra Aortic Balloon Pump include:
— Unstable angina pectoris
— Post cardiothoracic Surgery
— Percutaneous pulmonary angioplasty
— High-risk coronary artery bypass
— Thrombolytic therapy
— The use of Intra Aortic Balloon Pump is usually contraindicated for severe aortic valve insufficiency, aortic dissection, aortic aneurysm, sepsis, etc.
— The inclusion of fiber optic technology adds properties like speed, consistent AP signals, and backup safety
Technical Specifications:
— The Arrow FiberOptix Technology is the world’s first fiber-optic IABP catheter that has been proven effective in thousands of patients
— It is also the only one that works with the unique components of the AutoCAD 2 WAVE IABP to deliver ProActive counterpulsation
— The arterial pressure signals will go with the speed of light to the pump giving a clean and fast AP signal that will benefit IABP support to the patient
— Its consistent AP signal transmits better information faster
— It remains unaffected by dampening, noise, and movement
— The Cardiothane II Membrane offers a unique design of abrasion-resistant material with the hydrophilic coating
— It has sheathed or sheathless insertion options, optional hemostasis device for post-insertion bleeding control
— The device will not degrade over time
— No maintenance of fiber-optic signal is required
— They are available in the sizes of 7F and 8F and comes with a cable compatible with Datascope IABP Machines
