abstract：:Heparin remains the predominant anticoagulant during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Heparin acts by potentiating the anticoagulant effect of antithrombin (ATIII). Acquired ATIII deficiency, common in pediatric patients requiring ECMO, may result in ineffective anticoagulation with heparin. ATIII replaceme...

abstract：:The rotational axis of the centrifugal pump has some associated problems such as blood destruction and sealing between the axis and pump housing. To improve upon these deficits we have developed a new type of blood pump, the magnetic rotary pump (MRP). The MRP has an original design with no rotational axis and no impe...
