Abstract:
:The balloon pressure waveform provides the clinician with a valuable tool for assessing the operating environment within the balloon and the catheter. The use of a calibrated balloon pressure waveform allows the clinician to assess gas leakage and catheter restriction alarms and implement corrective action. By combining assessment of the arterial pressure waveform with the balloon pressure waveform, proper treatment and safe, effective balloon pump support can be maintained.
