Off-design considerations of the 50cc Penn State Ventricular Assist Device.
Particle image velocimetry is used to study the flow field associated with off-design conditions of the 50cc Penn State Ventricular Assist Device. Phase average data, for 300 consecutive beats, was acquired for 60, 75, and 90 beats per minute (bpm) at 35/65 systolic duration and at 75 bpm for 50/50 systolic duration. Diastolic flow is dominated by the inflow jet and shows more penetration and b...
متن کاملDesign an Equivalent Left Ventricular Assist Device for Medical Equipment Labs
LVAD is a mechanical pump supporting a weak heart function and blood flow. Sometimes, the heart may not recover fast enough to take over the pumping action immediately after surgery, in such patients a temporary support device has been employed to maintain the pumping action until the patient’s own heart recovers. This device can be considered as a temporary alternative before the process of ar...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Assist Devices: Engineering Design Considerations
Patients with end-stage congestive heart failure awaiting heart transplantation often wait long periods of time (300 days or more on the average) before a suitable donor heart becomes available. The medical community has placed increased emphasis on the use of Left Ventricular Assist Devices or LVADs that can substitute for, or enhance, the function of the natural heart while the patient is wai...
متن کاملImprovement of Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) in Artificial Heart Using Particle Swarm Optimization
In this approach, the Left ventricular assist pump for patients with left ventricular failure isused. The failure of the left ventricle is the most common heart disease during these days. Inthis article, a State feedback controller method is used to optimize the efficiency of a samplingpump current. Particle Swarm Algorithm, which is a set of rules to update the position andvelocity, is applied...
متن کاملMagnetic Levitation Design for the PediaFlowTM Ventricular Assist Device
Over the past few decades, we have seen a tremendous progress in the development of implantable ventricular assist devices (VAD). However, these devices are mainly developed for adult patients. For the patients under age 5 who have chronic heart failures, physicians must resort to extracorporeal circulatory support devices which often result in infection, thromboembolism, or excessive blood tra...
