Invasive Pressures — IABP:
• The IABP program
compensates for the
irregularities in the pressure
waveform caused by the use of
an intra-aortic balloon pump.
• To ensure that the trigger
signal is compatible with all
modes of the IABP, the signal
source used to trigger an
intra-aortic balloon pump
should be the pump itself.
• If the trigger is from the
monitor, be certain that the
manufacturer is compatible
with the GE Medical Systems
Information Technologies analog
output signal.
• If the trigger is off of the
R-Wave, review the patient’s
ECG leads and place the one
with the greatest amplitude in
the display (top) lead
position.
• If blood pressure is used to
trigger the balloon, the first
red pressure port labeled
ART will be used.
• Cable the balloon pump to
the monitor through the
Defib Sync connector on the
back of the monitor.
• The Parameter Window
Displays:
– Systolic Value = Highest
pressure in one cardiac
cycle.
– Diastolic Value = Lowest
pressure in one cardiac
cycle.
–
Mean Value = Average
pressure in one cardiac
cycle.
NOTE: The values displayed will differ depending on the
timing of the pump.
• To Turn the IABP Program
On:
– Select ART 1 .
– Select IABP .
– On/Off status is noted in
the menu option.
– Select MAIN MENU to
