Abstract:
According to the clinical requirements of cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, this paper established a simulation system for cardiac surgery which consists of venous reservoir, variable balance chamber, blood suction bag, ventricle suction bag, resistance valves, pressure gauges and tubings. Using the proposed system, perfusionists can mimic the implementation of pre-established surgery strategy, predict various abnormal conditions in the operation, and accordingly take the urgent actions so as to improve the success rate of surgery and to ensure the safety of patients.
