May support extremity BP monitoring during IABP; leaves open clinical outcome benefits in cardiogenic shock.
Does intra-aortic balloon pumping improve peripheral blood flow and arterial pressure in patients with cardiogenic shock?
Intra-aortic balloon pumping augments peripheral blood flow in the arms and legs of patients with cardiogenic shock, particularly in those who can be successfully weaned from the pump.
Juhlin‐Dannfelt et al. (1979) studied this question.
