Efficiency of the left ventricle assist device Hemopump in cardiac fibrillation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have examined in sheep the efficiency of the Hemopump during ventricular fibrillation. Circulatory arrest was induced by electrical stimulation and maintained for 30 min. Haemodynamic measurements were recorded continuously and blood samples were taken before, during and after fibrillation to determine total body and myocardial metabolic activity. All hearts were defibrillated successfully after 30 min of fibrillation. During fibrillation, the Hemopump sustained a mean arterial pressure of about 60 mm Hg with a blood flow rate of about 2.3 litre min-1. These perfusion conditions were sufficient for maintenance of aerobic myocardial metabolism, but with a borderline circulatory supply to the total organism.

When standard medical therapy is employed, cardiogenic shock is associated with an in-hospital mortality rate in excess of 75 % . Coronary angioplasty has been shown to reduce this mortality in patients following myocardial infarction,’ but the procedure can be complicated by transient myocardial ischemia induced by prolonged balloon inflation, acute vessel closure, or arrhythmias. To avoid pos...

متن کاملCanine Infarction Model
Background. It has been suggested that left ventricular unloading at the time of reperfusion provides superior infarct salvage over reperfusion alone. The purpose of this study was to show that the Hemopump transvalvular axial-flow left ventricular assist device provides superior left ventricular unloading, ischemic zone collateral blood flow, and infarct size reduction compared with intra-aort...
