Front Back
8 Qualities of the Ideal Blood Pump
Able to move up to 5.0 L/min of blood
Able to pump at low velocities of flow
Smooth Surfaces in contact with blood
Can dismantle, clean, and sterilize with ease
Blood handling components disposable
Calibration easy, reliable, reproducible,
Automatically controlled with option for manual operation
Adjustable stroke volume and pulse rate
A centrifugal pump is a _________ pump.
Kinetic
How is pumping action performed in centrifugal pump?
Forced rotation of an impeller adds kinetic energy to fluid
Reasons why blood flow can be lower than normal in operating room
Patient is asleep, given muscle relaxants.
Patient's metabolic rate is greatly reduced by cooling.
What causes blood to be propelled in a centrifugal pump?
Pressure differential between the inlet and the outlet
Describe centrifugal pumps
Impellers arranged with vanes or cones
Magnetically driven,
Produce a pressure differential as they rotate
How do Positive displacement pumps work?
Moves blood forward by displacing it progressively which creates suction
2 categories of positive displacement pump
Rotary pumps and Reciprocating pumps
List types of Reciprocating Pumps
Pistons
Bar Compression
Diaphragm
Ventricle
List types of Rotary Pumps
Roller pumps
Multiple finger pump
Screw pump
Discuss important difference between roller and centrifugal pumps regarding occlusion.
Roller pumps are occlusive, in the event of a power failure this would prevent the arterial line from draining a patient like a venous line. Centrifugal pumps are not occlusive.
What pumps do we use at Cooper?
Arterial Line- Centrifugal pump
Vent, suction and cardioplegia- roller pumps
In a roller pump the output is accurate because it is not dependent on ________ _________.
The resistance of the circuit.
Disadvantages of roller pump:
Hemolysis if over-occluded
Tubing rupture
A centrifugal pump can deprime with ___________
30 to 50 cc of air
