Cardiovascular Flashcards
Shunt Check method of convection
Thermal Conduction, chill shunt upstream, check for temp drop
Anatomical Fit Criteria
Placement in body, Connection to circulatory system
Total Articial Heart uses what to provide power of movement
Pneumatic Pressure hoses
TAH anatomical fit
- integrated with both atria
- all valves are replaced
- pneumatic lines penetrate diaphragm
- remains OUTSIDE of the body
this type of heart assisting device can have either internal or external pumps
LVAD
first rotary blood pump with hydromagnetic contact-free bearings
centrifugal pump
Axial Pump- brand name
Impella
Artificial Heart can be _ _ or _
Heart Replacement, LVAD or BiVAD
Two types of LVAD
pulsatile and nonpulsatile
Lenght of use
short term, bridge to transplant, not a permenant solution
