A technique for immediate manual external aortic counterpulsation during cardiac surgery

JR Skinner, RH Zeff, C Kongtahworn, RS Toon, CD Smith and SJ Phillips

Intraaortic balloon pump counterpulsation is well established as a lifesaving measure. Aortic counterpulsation may be achieved externally as well as internally. A simple technique for manual external aortic counterpulsation during cardiovascular surgical procedures is presented. This technique is available on immediate demand and identical in effect to intraaortic balloon pumping, and it may be lifesaving in patients with acute cardiovascular decompensation since it allows time for institution of necessary emergency therapy.
