Abstract
A mounting device for securing transport patient connected equipment, specifically an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), in the typically crowded medical transport vehicle. An engagement stud on the IABP slides into a spring-loaded latch connected to a vehicle mounted base. The engagement stud configuration allows the user to engage the IABP from any desired direction, i.e. slide the pump from any of the four sides onto the mount. No effort is required from the user beyond the pushing motion for locking the IABP onto the mount.
