A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

From its initial clinical use, over 28 years ago, to its current extensive use (over 100,000 times annually in the US alone), balloon pump equipment has developed into sophisticated, computer–assisted technology for mechanically aiding circulation. This book fully and clearly explains the function and clinical application of IABP in various clinical conditions. In addition, it reviews all the new achievements and complications of balloon pumping, such as percutaneous sheathless balloon catheter insertion and the addition of various control and alarm systems to the drive console to assure patient safety. Because the effective clinical application of IABP involves more than familiarity with the device and implications for its use, Dr Bolooki also discusses the causes of cardiac failure and its pathophysiology; the reversibility of ventricular dysfunction; and the other assist devices frequently used in conjunction with IABP in cases of severe cardiac failure. Recent IABP studies that evaluated the effect of this device on short– and long–term patient survival – and on the extent of myocardial salvage after ischemia or infarction – are also included in this extensively updated and expanded third edition.

Revue de presse :

"...well written and well organized. It should be welcome as a reference text to the libraries of multidisciplinary teams caring for cardiac patients."

––Canadian Journal of Surgery

"This book presents a comprehensive and up to date review of the use of the intra–aortic balloon pump (IABP) ...The sections on balloon pump equipment, consoles and catheters, and the physiology of balloon pumping are all particularly good, and perhaps should be mandatory reading for all trainees in cardiac surgery, cardiac anesthesia, invasive cardiology and clinical perfusion.

"It is a worthwhile addition to the library of a busy cardiovascular critical care unit in which IABPs are used frequently, and is a good reference text for anyone who is considering research involving the IABP."

––Canadian Journal of Anesthesia
