The intra-aortic balloon pump in heart failure management: Implications for nursing practice

Management of acute heart failure is an important consideration in critical care. Mechanical support of the failing heart is crucial for improving health outcomes. The most common Australasian application of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) is in the setting of cardiogenic shock. High en...

Zusammenfassung:Management of acute heart failure is an important consideration in critical care. Mechanical support of the failing heart is crucial for improving health outcomes. The most common Australasian application of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) is in the setting of cardiogenic shock. High end users of IABP (>37/annum) demonstrate significantly lower mortality for cardiogenic shock managed with IABP ( p < 0.001) in contrast to hospitals which employ limited IABP (
