Gabriel A. del Carmen: Concept of idea, creation of study design, significant contribution to manuscript, original rendition of manuscript, editing, revisions. Future guideline refinement should ensure broad-based input in the development process to ensure larger buy-in, and thus broader compliance. Aorto‐iliac stenoses can be managed with angioplasty or stent placement; however, there are limited data about this strategy to facilitate IABP placement. While the public expects hospitals to be fully staffed regardless of the time of an operation, the reality is that staffing availability and societal pressures on medical staff may reduce a hospital’s ability to provide different complex operations during certain times of the week. © 2020 BioMed Central Ltd unless otherwise stated. Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps (IABPs) can be utilized to provide hemodynamic support in high risk patients awaiting coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). 2011;6(1):147. Epub 2009 Jun 28. Beneficial effect of preventative intra-aortic balloon pumping in high-risk patients undergoing first-time coronary artery bypass grafting-a single center experience. Historically, IABPs are inserted through the femoral artery and patients are placed on bed rest. David Chang: Concept of idea, study design, manuscript editing and revision, significant contribution to manuscript editing. The OSHPD database is powerful and allowed us to evaluate a wide range of both clinical and non-clinical data over a five-year period. They concluded that the outcomes for deceased donor kidney transplantation in the US were not affected by the day of surgery [16]. J Cardiothorac Surg. These complications can range in severity from an ischemic lower extremity to the uncommon, yet devastating, complication of thrombosis of the descending thoracic aorta [12]. Introduction: Although there is no cure for heart failure, placement of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) can act as temporary treatment. The balloon pump was placed on one-to-one augmentation. There are many indications for IABP and institutional practice patterns regarding the placement of IABPs is variable. While clinical factors have been and continue to be studied, recent literature has identified various non-clinical factors that are increasingly recognized as playing a key role in the overall delivery of quality healthcare [4,5,6,7]. 1, 2 It has also been suggested that high-risk patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft may benefit from its placement before beginning the surgical procedure. It has been shown that the process by which consensuses are developed may influence the results and acceptability of the results. The IABP is not coded as a device within ICD-10-PCS and is coded with the root operation of “Assistance.” The ICD-10-PCS code for insertion of an IABP for continuous pumping would be 5A02210, Extracorporeal or Systemic Assistance, Physiologic Systems, Assistance, Cardiac, Continuous, Output, Balloon Pump. In this study, we found that the rate of preoperative IABP placement in patients awaiting CABG was significantly higher when the patient was admitted on a weekend (Saturday/Sunday) compared to a weekday. J Cardiothorac Surg. Because of the known clinical risks associated with the placement of IABPs, it is prudent to reduce medically unnecessary IABPs in order to minimize complications associated with the device, and shorten hospital length of stay. Inasmuch, the care of patients who present with cardiac conditions has increasingly become more team based and multidisciplinary. On adjusted analysis, patients awaiting CABG were 1.30 times more likely to have an IABP placed on weekends than on weekdays (OR: 1.30, 95% CI 1.20-1.40, p < 0.001). Am Surg. Springer Nature. del Carmen, G.A., Axtell, A., Chang, D. et al. 2016;11:122. J Gen Intern Med. IABPs are used to increase blood flow through the coronary arteries and reduce the heart’s workload by decreasing the afterload. J Clin Ethics. All patients admitted for CABG were included. USA.gov. Intraaortic balloon pump, commonly called IABP, is a catheter-based procedure reserved for patients with severe heart disease (e.g. The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is the most commonly utilized circulatory support device during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures. On adjusted analysis, patients awaiting CABG were 1.30 times more likely to have an IABP placed on weekends than on weekdays (OR: 1.30, 95% CI 1.20–1.40, p < 0.001). National Center for Biotechnology Information, Unable to load your collection due to an error, Unable to load your delegates due to an error. aka Cardiovascular Curveball 005. The World Health Report 2000. A multivariable logistic regression analysis to identify predictors of IABP placement was performed, adjusting for patient demographics, clinical factors, and system variables. A total of 46,347 patients underwent CABG, of which 7695 (16.60%) had an IABP placed preoperatively. Andrea Axtell: Study design, significant contributions to manuscript preparation, editing, reviewing. 2011;22(3):267–76. All patients admitted for CABG were included. This afforded us the ability to exclude comorbidities that serve as clear clinical contraindications to placement of IABP. The modern intra … CVA = cerebrovascular accident; IABP = intra-aortic balloon pump; TIA = transient ischemic attack. The physiological principles that underpin IABP counterpulsation therapy are the simultaneous increase in coronary blood flow by augmentation of the diastolic aorto-coronary pressure gradient, with a decrease in myocardial oxygen … Intra Aortic Balloon (IAB) is inflated during diastole and deflated during systole The IAB is a volume displacement device IAB Placement – Descending thoracic aorta – 1 to 2 cm below the subclavian artery origin – Above renal and mesenteric arteries 2011 CNEA / Key Choice Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a commonly used modality for mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients with cardiogenic shock. Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Article  Given the wide variability with respect to the timing and indication of IABP placement, specifically in the pre-operative patient with coronary artery disease (CAD) we believe the placement of IABPs in this patient population serves as an effective case study in the evaluation of a non-clinical factor that may influence clinical decision making. This device is inserted into the aorta, the body's largest artery. 1992;13:363–383. MediCal and Medicare patients were also more likely to have an in-hospital mortality compared to those with private insurance (OR: 1.66, CI: 1.29–2.14, p < 0.001 and OR: 1.50, CI: 1.24–1.82, p < 0.001 respectively). From a coding perspective, the IABP is not classified as a device such as the VAD’s. A retrospective cohort analysis of the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development database from 2006 to 2010 was performed. Although acute coronary syndrome is an indication for IABP placement, the non-inclusion of non-emergent cases is likely responsible for this observed effect. A multivariable logistic regression model was constructed to identify independent risk factors for the odds of IABP placement. In this study we assessed whether the aortic knob is a reliable landmark for positioning the IABP and compared it with another potential landmark, the carina. Incorrect placement and complications of intra-aortic balloon pumps . 2015. Values are n (%) or median (range). Using this multi modality approach ensures that the patient not only receives the most appropriate pre-procedural care, but also the best revascularization strategy, be it surgical or PCI for the patient. We were also unable to account for a potential “weekday bias” among patients. We extend this line of investigation to cardiac surgery which, as a complex procedure, would be thought to be controlled under strict clinical guidelines and not be influenced by non-clinical factors. The procedure requires placement of a catheter with an intraaortic balloon attached. 2012;47(5):2060–80. Chin, Chee Tang, et al. Keywords: intra aortic balloon pump, IABP, complications by the use of intra aortic balloon pump Introduction The complication rates when using an intra aortic bal-loon pump are high and may account for up to 50% according to Harvey et al [1], with an average 20-30% [2,3]. 2009 Aug;33(8):587-92. doi: 10.1111/j.1525-1594.2009.00788.x. Variation as an indicator of healthcare quality is a novel goal of investigation, with the aim of improving patient-centered care by removing variability based on non-clinical factors. Intra-aortic balloon pump counterpulsation (IABP) has been shown to prolong life in critically ill cardiac patients. All covariates described above were included in the final model. Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a commonly used modality for mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients with cardiogenic shock. Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a cylindrical polyethylene device inserted into the descending thoracic aorta, which increases myocardial oxygen delivery and cardiac output [1]. For example, an IABP may be placed in patients with concerning “anatomy” such as left main coronary artery stenosis or diffuse disease, despite the absence of clinical symptoms [11]. Intra-aortic balloon pump placement in coronary artery bypass grafting patients by day of admission Gabriel A. del Carmen1, Andrea Axtell1, David Chang1, Serguei Melnitchouk2, Thoralf M. Sundt III2 and Amy G. Fiedler3* Abstract Introduction: Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps (IABPs) can be utilized to provide hemodynamic support in high risk This study is subject to the inherent limitations of a retrospective database analysis. Four years later, Moulopoulos and colleagues3 developed an experimental prototype of an IABP whose inflation and deflation were timed to the cardiac cycle. It is important that non-clinical factors are minimized in the administration of healthcare. Black populations were less likely to receive IABPs compared to white populations despite no difference in clinical presentation. We included all patients who underwent CABG in our analysis. Popul Health Manag. An important disadvantage of the commonly used femoral arterial IABP is inability of patients to ambulate, increasing risk of debilitation and infections. An intra-aortic balloon pump, or IABP, is a long, skinny balloon that controls the flow of blood through your largest blood vessel, the aorta. Previously, bulky 12 F or larger devices were placed via a surgical approach through an end-to-side graft to the femoral artery, with substantial associated morbidity. Correspondence to Part of Parissis H, Soo A, Al-Alao B. Intra aortic balloon pump: literature review of risk factors related to complications of the intraaortic balloon pump. If the balloon is too distal, the device has decreased effectiveness. Study on Early Intra-aortic Balloon Pump Placement in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock (Altshock-2) The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Privacy The IABP consists of a thin, flexible tube called a catheter. It consists of a cylindrical polyurethane balloon that sits in the aorta, approximately 2 centimeters (0.79 in) from the left subclavian artery. ↵ ∗ Death as a direct consequence of IABP therapy. Coronary artery bypass grafting; Coronary artery disease; Intra-aortic balloon pump. The balloon was set at 2:1 to evaluate timing. Altering the pressure characteristics of the cardiac cycle by augmenting diastolic pressure was postulated to improve coronary perfusion and take over as much as 25% of the pumping burden of the natural heart. aka Cardiovascular Curveball 005. Conclusion: Health Serv Res. Unadjusted analysis was performed for categorical dependent variables with χ 2, and for continuous dependent variables with a Student’s t-test. This precludes us from making sweeping conclusions about the nature of our findings and makes salient the need for further investigations. There are many indications for IABP and institutional practice patterns regarding the placement of IABPs is variable. Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation is a method of temporary mechanical circulatory support that attempts to create more favorable balance of myocardial oxygen supply and demand by using the concepts of systolic unloading and diastolic augmentation. This has been noted in other fields in the literature; for example, Burns et al. Acute Cardiac Care 10.4 (2008): 214-220. A retrospective cohort analysis of the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) was performed between 2006 and 2010. An important disadvantage of the commonly used femoral arterial IABP is inability of patients to ambulate, increasing risk of debilitation and infections. Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) counterpulsation is a useful circulatory support adjunct in the setting of refractory cardiogenic shock in critically ill patients. The discovery of this trend indicates the need for further investigations into the clinical reasons given for placement of IABP and may reflect an underlying disagreement with current practice guidelines. Variation itself is the primary outcome because it indicates a lack of standardization in clinical practice for reasons not explained by a specific clinical indicator. 1.
