Ventricular assist device (VAD) - Mayo Clinic
2023年5月3日 · A ventricular assist device (VAD) is a device that helps pump blood from the lower chambers of the heart to the rest of the body. It's a treatment for a weakened heart or heart failure. A VAD may be used to help the heart work while waiting for other treatments, such as a heart transplant.
Blood Pump - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
2001年7月3日 · The heart pumps blood through a network of branching blood vessels of progressively smaller diameter to supply the microcirculation. Blood is a suspension of formed elements, mainly erythrocytes (red cells), platelets, and leukocytes (white cells), in a homogeneous fluid, plasma.
Blood Pump - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
A pump (or heart) pumps water (or blood) from an underground reservoir, usually an aquifer, to an elevated reservoir such as a water tower that is higher than the houses. In this process the mechanical energy of the pump is converted into potential energy in the water tower.
In brief: How does the heart work? - InformedHealth.org - NCBI Bookshelf
2023年6月6日 · The left ventricle pumps oxygen-rich blood out of the heart and into the body (systemic circulation) through an artery called the aorta. The first blood vessels that branch off from the aorta are the coronary arteries. They go straight to the muscle of the heart itself, and supply the heart with oxygen and nutrients.
Physiology of Blood Pump Circulation in Heart Failure
2020年9月5日 · In the current era of mechanical circulatory support, blood pumps play a crucial role in providing hemodynamic support in patients with end-stage chronic heart failure, and their use is expected to increase with the development of newer and better pumps. Optimal use of LVADs can facilitate LV unloading and reverse remodeling of the native heart.
CentriMag Acute Mechanical Circulatory Support Information
The CentriMag blood pump functions as: Part of an ECMO †† circuit for periods > 6 hours; Temporary circulatory support for periods up to 30 days* to support the left, right, or both ventricles of the heart in patients who fail to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass
HeartMate 3 LVAD | Abbott - Abbott Cardiovascular
The HeartMate 3™ LVAD, a mechanical circulatory support pump with Full MagLev™ Flow Technology has significantly advanced the field of LVAD therapy, setting the standard with innovation and outstanding clinical outcomes that make a …
Blood Pumps for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Platelet ...
2021年6月1日 · 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 coagulation.
Development of the Centrifugal Blood Pump for a Hybrid …
2022年8月4日 · The centrifugal blood pump is designed to support the systemic circulation and left ventricle, and the axial flow blood pump is designed to support the pulmonary circulation and right ventricle. In this study, we focus on the design-build-test of the centrifugal blood pump component of this device.
