A system was developed for the transtelephonic transmiSSion of an ECG and arterial blood pressure waveforms from an intra-aortic balloon pump to a remote location. This system extends the capabilities of the balloon pump supervisory personnel and supplements patient care by improving communications. It has been demonstrated that ECG and arterial blood pressure waveforms can be easily transmitted by telephone, and that these signals are reproduced with such fidelity that trouble shooting and advice can be communicated from a site other than the patient's bedside. This technique was successfully employed in ten patients to date.
Key words: intra-aortic balloon pump / remote monitoring / transtelephonic telemetry
