Event Description
|
It was reported that during intra-aortic balloon (iab) therapy the patient had a brief ventricular fibrillation (vt) arrest requiring advanced cardiovascular life support (acls) and shock two times.Afterwards, patient was in a tachycardic rhythm, it is unknown which one.The cardiosave intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) then generated a gas loss in iab circuit alarm and stopped pumping.No blood was in the gas line and connections were tight.The iabp restarted via start button but would only pump for a few seconds then stop with the same alarm again.It was decided to switch to another iabp as blood pressures and patient condition were tenuous.The switch was successful immediately.The patient then went to cath lab to be re-cannulated for venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (va ecmo).This report is for the iab.A separate report has been submitted for the cardiosave iabp under mfg report number 2249723-2022-02907.
