The CentriMag Centrifugal Blood Pump as a Benchmark for In Vitro Testing of Hemocompatibility in Implantable Ventricular Assist Devices
Implantable ventricular assist devices (VADs) have proven efficient in advanced heart failure patients as a bridge-to-transplant or destination therapy. However, VAD usage often leads to infection, bleeding, and thrombosis, side effects attributable to the damage to blood cells and plasma proteins. Measuring hemolysis alone does not provide sufficient information to understand total blood damag...
متن کاملEndo-Testing: Unit Testing with Mock Objects
Unit testing is a fundamental practice in Extreme Programming, but most non-trivial code is difficult to test in isolation. It is hard to avoid writing test suites that are complex, incomplete, and difficult to maintain and interpret. Using Mock Objects for unit testing improves both domain code and test suites. They allow unit tests to be written for everything, simplify test structure, and av...
متن کاملIn-Vitro Red Blood Cells Integrity and Morphology Changes after Passing Through Volumetric Peristaltic Infusion Pump
Background: It is not clear whether the use of volumetric peristaltic infusion pumps, affect the quality of the erythrocytes during packed cell transfusion or not. In the present study in vitro quality of red blood cells was assessed after using this type of infusion pumps in a prospective study. Materials and Methods: In this study 60 units of packed red cells were examined before and after p...
متن کاملViscoelasticity of pediatric blood and its implications for the testing of a pulsatile pediatric blood pump.
Red blood cell hematocrit, aggregation and deformability, and plasma protein concentration influence the viscosity and elasticity of whole blood. These parameters affect the flow properties, especially at low shear rates (< 50 s(-1)). In particular, we have previously shown that the viscoelasticity of fluid affects the inlet filling characteristics and regions of flow separation in small pulsat...
