Viscosity of He

[edit]

Helium is a highly viscous gas due to it's high molecular velocity. It can't be being used for its low-viscosity profile. Chris Pruet —Preceding undated comment was added at 15:42, 16 January 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Missing pieces of explanation

[edit]

The article doesn't explain how is the balloon deflated (do we rely simply on increased aortal pressure, or is there a pump? if there's a pump, I'd imagine providing enough energy for it to operate over long time periods is challenging) nor where the control mechanism is placed (under the skin somewhere? or maybe externally to the patient, connected by induction or by transcutaneous wires?). Similarly, the article doesn't indicate whether this is a device that is usually permanently placed or is usually temporary. 85.195.223.119 (talk) 19:11, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relative counter-indications

[edit]

Can people verify the relative contra-indications? I feel they are far fetched and do not represent a mainstream opinion. I feel we should take the subchapter out. Cinadon36 19:32, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
