Development of vacuum assist closed extracorporeal circulation system

development of an accident reproduction simulator system using a hemodialysis extracorporeal circulation system

conclusions thus, we can conclude that a simulator system using an extracorporeal circulation system can be set to different models of dialyzers, and that the reproduced treatment scenarios can be used for simulation training. results the results of the tests demonstrated successful activation of the alarms by the dialysis apparatus, which were appropriate for each of the five types of accident...

Tracheal Chondrosarcoma Excised With Extracorporeal Circulation

Introduction: Tracheal chondrosarcoma (TCS) is a rare malignancy, with only 19 cases described in the literature to date. Case presentation: Herein, we presented the third-largest TCS with such an airway compromise that neither orotracheal intubation nor jet ventilation or even tracheostomy was possible. So, extracorporeal circulation was needed to excise the tumor in a one-stage procedure. Th...

Development of an Accident Reproduction Simulator System Using a Hemodialysis Extracorporeal Circulation System.

BACKGROUND Accidents that occur during dialysis treatment are notified to the medical staff via alarms raised by the dialysis apparatus. Similar to such real accidents, apparatus activation or accidents can be reproduced by simulating a treatment situation. An alarm that corresponds to such accidents can be utilized in the simulation model. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to create an ex...

Using a closed drainage system without vacuum.

Prolonged extracorporeal circulation.

Interest in prolonged perfusions has increased pari passu with the possibility of treating the more complicated cardiac deformities. Prolonged perfusions may be of interest also in functional disturbances arising during operations using the heart-lung machine, since it may be difficult to discontinue the perfusion before cardiac function is again satisfactory. Furthermore, the biological change...
