The patient was taken to the cardiac theatre for emergency surgery @ (b)(6) private hospital on (b)(6) 2020.The patient arrested in operating theatre prior to the commencement of surgery.A clinical decision to put in an iab was made.During a prolonged resuscitation process, the physicians attempted the insertion of 3 iab catheters.The first attempt was at 10:03 am.Resuscitation was unsuccessful and patient time of death was 11:14am.The facility was unsure if the iabp therapy had ever actually started during the resuscitation and prior to the patient¿s death.The intra-aortic balloon pump (iabp) in use during the event is unknown.It was reported that at that time of the event, there was no thought that the iab was any part contributing to the death of this patient.Due to the patient death occurring in the hospital, the patient was sent to have an autopsy by the coroner and a subsequent report was sent to the hospital in (b)(6) 2021.The cause of death was stated as pulmonary artery tear.The notes also said there was an aortic rupture complicated from iab insertion and and iab catheter rupture.The coroner¿s report asked if the device manufacturer had been notified, hence the initial call from the clinical services director was received.This report is for the iabp in use during the event.The iab catheters are being reported separately.
