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..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: To assess whether preoperative versus intraoperative insertion of an intra-aortic balloon pump is associated with lower 30-day mortality or reduced length of hospital stay among patients who had..
Read MoreAbstract Background Intra‐aortic balloon pump counterpulsation (IABP) is currently the most commonly used mechanical assist device for patients with cardiogenic shock due to acute myocardial infarction. Although there has been..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose of review Intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) has been the most widely used device to help patients recover from circulatory disorder mainly because of cardiogenic shock; however, no evidence-based..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Prophylactic intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (pIABC) is recommended for high-risk patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Criteria for high-risk patients benefiting from pIABC are unclear. This study..
Read MoreIntroduction This study aimed to test a computer-driven cardiovascular model for the evaluation of the visceral flow during intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) assistance. Methods The model includes a systemic and..
