IABP Pet Peeves

It really bugs me that in this day and age, the IABP can be misused so much.

It's bad enough to have to explain time and time again to nurses who get little exposure to the balloon that the IABP can be working fine (and properly supporting the patient) even if the augmented pressure is lower than the systolic pressure. When your up against experienced staff (staff physicians) who should know better, it's another story.

What are your IABP pet peeves?
