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..
