  • Program Description

    This program is designed for health care professional and is intended to provide an introduction to intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABC) therapy. The course will begin with a review of cardiac anatomy and physiology as it relates to IABC therapy followed by a presentation of the theoretical aspects of counterpulsation, waveform alterations, indications, contraindications, side effects and complications. This will be followed by a presentation of the IAB catheter features and the operation and troubleshooting of the intra-aortic balloon pump console.

  • Program Objective

    Introduce health care professionals with minimal prior intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation experience to the theoretical, technical, and clinical aspects of IABC therapy.

  • Behavioral Objectives

    1. Define the two physiological effects achieved by the mechanics of inflation and deflation of the IAB as it relates to the cardiac cycle illustrated by an augmented arterial pressure waveform.
    2. Identify three indications and three contraindications for IABP therapy.
    3. Delineate the major clinical complications associated with IABP therapy.
    4. Discuss the operation and troubleshooting of the IABP utilizing the Abbreviated Operator's Guide.
