IABP

Is it common to have a negative afterload reduction on an IABP? Had my first balloon pump this week and the 2nd night I had him, his numbers were coming out negative. (The assisted diastolic was higher than the unassisted). Isn't that making the heart work harder? I called the doc and he had me change it from 1:1 to 1:2, but they were still negative.

    Bella -- I do suspect that was why. Don't forget when you have a patient on the pump and you have questions like this . . you can also call the 1-800 number on the balloon pump to ask them questions too.
