Event Description
|
It was reported that during intra-aortic balloon (iab) therapy, the console generated an auto-fill failure alarm that would not resolve with basic troubleshooting.The catheter tip position was verified via chest x-ray.The console was swapped out for a different one, but this did not resolve the issue.After changing the console, it immediately generated a leak in iab circuit alarm.The bedside nurse performed an iab fill and reduced the augmentation setting by two bars which allowed the pump to restart.The patient was alert and oriented but moving a great deal per the nurse.It was noted that the alarm was consistent with patient movement.A screenshot of the console monitor revealed an unreliable electrocardiogram (ecg) waveform, the console switching back and forth between ecg and pressure triggers, as well as round/flattened balloon waveform peaks.The nurse removed and replaced the ecg patches and added a touch of doppler gel which corrected ecg waveform and trigger issues.The iab was then removed and replaced successfully.There was no patient harm or adverse event reported.
