Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Counterpulsation in the Post-Resuscitation Period is Associated with Improved Functional Outcomes in Patients Surviving an Out-of-Hospital Cardiac…

Abstract Background Despite advances in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, functional survival remains low after  (OOHCA).  (IABP) therapy has recently been shown to augment cerebral blood flow. Whether  therapy in the post-resuscitation period improves functional outcomes..
