An Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) is a mechanical device used to support patients with weakened hearts by improving blood flow and oxygen delivery. It consists of a balloon-tipped catheter inserted into the aorta. The balloon inflates during diastole (when the heart relaxes) to increase blood flow to the coronary arteries and deflates before systole (when the heart contracts) to reduce the heart’s workload. This synchronized pumping action helps the heart pump more efficiently, enhances oxygen supply, and stabilizes blood pressure, making the IABP an essential device in managing cardiac failure and during high-risk heart surgeries.

How does a balloon pump work?
A balloon pump works by pushing air into the balloon through a narrow nozzle. By squeezing the handle, the pump creates pressure that forces air to flow into the balloon, inflating it. The one-way valve on the pump prevents air from escaping and maintains the balloon's inflation.
How do balloon rockets work?
Balloon rockets work by utilizing the principle of action and reaction. When air is released from the balloon, it creates a force that propels the balloon in the opposite direction. The escaping air creates thrust, pushing the balloon in the direction opposite to the airflow.
How does hot air balloon work?
the balloon works with the poplo force forcing it up
What happens to hotair balloon on the moon?
A hot air balloon would not work on the moon.
How do vents work on a hot air balloon?
the vents work because of the heat which can make the hot air balloon go up
How do the vents work on a hot air balloon?

When the gas in a balloon is heated the balloon expands what are the correct signs of heat and work for this change?
When the gas in a balloon is heated and the balloon expands, the correct signs for heat and work are: the heat absorbed by the gas is positive (+Q) and the work done by the gas is also positive (+W). This is because the gas is gaining energy (heat) from its surroundings, and it is doing work on the balloon by pushing against the walls as it expands.
What are reasons why a hot air balloon won't work?
They do work.
Does a helium balloon work better than an air filled balloon in CD hovercraft?
yes
How does a rotary pump work?

How does balloon flight work?
By using a heat burner, hte balloon pilot makes the air in the balloon lighter than normal air. Then the balloon moves upward and moves with the wind.
When gas in a balloon is heated the balloon expands. What are the correct signs of heat and work for this change?
+Q, +W
