A.Temporary Pacemaker
B.Ventricular assist device
C.Intra-aortic baloon pump
D.Defibrillator
The correct answer is C:Intra-aortic baloon pump
Intra-aortic baloon pump provdes temporary circulatory assistance by increasing coronary perfusion and cardiac output but decreasing myocardial oxygen consumption and workload in a patient with cardiogenic shock.Pacemaker maintains heart rate at a predetermined rate.Ventricular assist device also provides circulatory assistance like IABP.But it is used for longer term for support of the failing heart,usuallly months.Defibrillation is used to treat life-threatening ventricular arrythmias.
