In our CCU, nurses are not allowed to d/c or remove IABP, the only thing we're allowed is to reduced the frequency of IABP from 1:1- 1:3 and nothing more than that. I think what happening now is some of the doctor are pretty much dependent to nurses. We should not tolerate this and we should always questioned doctors regarding this matter and in fact this is not included in our scope of practice or not even a nurses extended role.
