Counterpulsation
Diastole (DIA)
Diastolic Pressure (DIA)
The pressure which ventricular contraction must exceed
to open the aortic valve; Aortic End-Diastolic Pressure
The onset of diastole; signaled by the DN on the
AP waveform
The onset of systole; signaled by the beginning of
the upstroke on the AP waveform
The lowest pressure in the aorta caused by balloon
deflation
Systolic pressure that follows IAB deflation; shows the
effect on the pressure by balloon action; usually lower
than the unassisted SYS
The increase in diastolic blood pressure that occurs when
balloon inflation displaces ejected blood both back
toward the heart and distally toward the peripheral
vasculature
An operations mode where most functions of the pump
are controlled automatically
See Intra-Aortic Balloon
the balloon during each inflation and deflation cycle;
displayed as the blue (3rd) waveform on the LCD
A device used with the FiberOptix™ Sensor; provides
electronic information about Fiber Optic Sensor
The volume of blood ejected from the right or left
ventricle per minute; equal to the Stroke Volume
multiplied by the Heart Rate
The internal mechanism that removes water vapor from
the IAB catheter and pneumatic tubing; this water
normally accumulates during IABP operation
The balloon-generated pulse that occurs in a cycle
counter to the normal cardiac pulse; counterpulsation is
controlled to increase diastolic pressure and decrease
End-Diastolic Pressure
The phase of the cardiac cycle in which most coronary
perfusion and ventricular filling occur
The lowest pressure normally occurring in the aorta;
diastolic pressure
