Late deflation is when the balloon remains inflated too long – the heart is trying now to pump against an inflated balloon. Bad! The deflation knob has been turned too far to the right – move it back towards the center, make sure the BAEDP is lower than the patient’s diastolic pressure on the waveform, and start over.
See the BAEDP all the way up there? The patient’s end-diastolic pressure is that PAEDP that you see down lower – this is also a certified Big Bad timing error – don’t let this happen.
