, The primary effects of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation are:
Increased myocardial oxygen demand/decreased myocardial oxygen supply
Decreased myocardial oxygen demand/decreased myocardial oxygen supply
Decreased myocardial oxygen demand/increased myocardial oxygen supply
Increased myocardial oxygen demand/increased myocardial oxygen supply - ANSWER
Decreased myocardial oxygen demand/increased myocardial oxygen supply
Intra-aortic balloons are indicated for:
Prophylactic support for PTCA or anesthesia induction, incompetent aortic valve, and
cerebral stroke
End stage cardiac disease, incompetent aortic valve, cardiogenic shock, septic shock
Acute coronary syndrome, cardiac and non-cardiac surgery, and complications of heart
failure
