Rotary blood pumps are used in clinical applications to assist circulation via pumping blood from the left atrium to the aorta. Negative inflow pressures at high flow rates can cause suction of the cannula in the left atrium with deleterious effects on the atrial wall, the blood, and the lung. Therefore, stable and reliable detection of suction and the prediction of the left atrium pressure (LAP) would be of major interest for the control of these pumps. This work reports about an in vitro… CONTINUE READING
