Comparing fluid dynamics of newborn and adult centrifugal pumps in cardiopulmonary bypass procedures
Abstract Background Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) plays a crucial role in cardiac surgery, with the pump being a key component affecting both hemolysis and thrombosis. Centrifugal levitating pumps (CP) have demonstrated..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a fundamental treatment for cardiovascular and severe pulmonary diseases, with small animal models providing critical insights into organ protection during cardiopulmonary bypass and ECMO..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: In cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), blood circulation is temporarily maintained by an artificial blood-pumping device during cardiac surgery. Worldwide, approximately half of the CPB procedures utilize either centrifugal or..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Acute kidney injury (AKI) affects approximately 30% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery with conventional non-pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Pulsatile flow has long been proposed for mitigating this complication...
Read MoreAbstract Objectives: To investigate outcomes associated with conventional roller or centrifugal pumps during neonatal venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Our primary hypothesis is that in comparison with conventional roller-pump support, centrifugal pump use is..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose With newer generation diagonal and centrifugal blood pumps gaining popularity, the objective of this study was to compare the DP3-i-cor diagonal and RotaFlow centrifugal pumps in terms of..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a therapy used in severe cardiopulmonary failure. Blood is pumped through an artificial circuit exposing it to nonphysiologic conditions, which promote platelet activation and..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an invaluable means of supporting critically ill children with refractory respiratory or cardiac failure. Controversy remains; however, whether roller or centrifugal pumps are superior,..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: The aim was to evaluate the performance of a newly developed magnetically suspended centrifugal pump head intended for use as a ventricular assistance device with a newly developed..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a therapy used in severe cardiopulmonary failure. Blood is pumped through an artificial circuit exposing it to nonphysiologic conditions, which promote platelet activation and..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic requires thinking about alternatives to establish ECMO when often-limited hardware resources are exhausted. Heart-lung-machines may potentially be used for ECMO but contain roller pumps as..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the most effective treatment available for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Patient selection, surgical technique and perioperative management have improved patient outcomes, which are..
Read MoreAbstract Recent advances in ECLS technology have led to the adoption of centrifugal pumps for the majority of patients worldwide. Despite several advantages of centrifugal pumps, they remain controversial because..
Read MoreAbstract Background Treating severe forms of the acute respiratory distress syndrome and cardiac failure, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has become an established therapeutic option. Neonatal or pediatric patients receiving ECMO,..
