| Popis: | Since the first use of a ventricular assist device in 1963 many extracorporeal and implantable pulsatile blood pumps have been developed. After the invention of continuous flow blood pumps the implantable pulsatile pumps are not available anymore. The new rotary pumps spend a better quality of life because many of the patients can go home. Nevertheless, the extracorporeal pulsatile pumps have some advantages. They are low-cost systems, produce less haemolysis and heart-recovery can be tested easily. Pump failure is easy to realize because the pumps can be observed visually. Pump exchange can be done easily without any chirurgic surgery. As volume displacement pumps they can produce high blood pressure, so they are the only ones suitable for pediatric patients. Therefore, they are indispensable for clinical use today and in the future. In this work, nearly all pulsatile blood pumps used in clinical life are described. |
