Event Description
|
It was reported that during cardiosave intra-aortic balloon (iabp) therapy, a mega 50cc intra aortic balloon catheter (iabc) was inserted during cardiac catheterisation pre cardiac surgery due to disease process and haemodynamically unstable.The patient underwent cardiac surgery with counter-pulsation therapy continuing post surgery.Approximately 48 hours post surgery, the staff noticed blood in the extender tubing.However, the staff was unable to ascertain if the iabp had appropriately alarmed prior to the blood in the extender tubing.On noticing blood in the extender tubing of the iabc, counter-pulsation therapy ceased and the iabc was removed.The patient was on aspirin and clopidogrel.No adverse event was reported.A separate report is being submitted on the involved iabc.
