  • Arrangement with a Blood Pump and Pump Control Unit
    Publication number: 20210046228
    Abstract: An arrangement for extracorporeal life support is further developed in such a way that a pump actuating signal produces a wave-like surging and subsiding pump output for a pulsatile flow. The pump is preferably a non-occlusive blood pump, such as a diagonal pump, for example. In a preferred variant of embodiment the control signal is provided by an ECG. This allows the diastolic pressure to be increased in order to improve the oxygen balance of the heart muscle.

  • Perfusion cannula with integrated sensor technology
    Patent number: 9717434
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a perfusion cannula for placement of an access, having a cannula wall and a perfusion lumen which is surrounded by the cannula wall and in which a fluid flow can flow through the perfusion cannula, wherein the perfusion cannula furthermore comprises at least one sensor lumen and at least one sensor device, in particular an ECG sensor, which is arranged at least partially in the sensor lumen. As a result, it is possible to provide a particularly reliable perfusion cannula with improved functionality and for reliable handling, in particular in conjunction with an extracorporeal lung support system.
