R14 concomitant use of Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump and extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation – a benchtop trial

Research output: Contribution to journalMeeting Abstractpeer-review

Abstract

VA-ECMO is the mainstay of treatment for refractory cardiogenic shock. However, it has been associated with increased LV loading. The Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) has been utilised to assist in weaning of VA-ECMO patients, as some studies have shown an improvement in survival. Yet the evidence on its improvement in LV venting, afterload reduction, coronary and cerebral flow are conflicting, and the procedural risks may outweigh any potential benefit. Our aim was to determine the impact of the addition of an IABP to ECMO in various simulations of cardiac failure.
