Summary
The Nikkiso HPM-15 centrifugal pump demonstrates safety and ease of use in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS). Clinical results show stable hemodynamics and minimal impact on organ function, making it a useful device for these procedures.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Biomedical Engineering
- Medical Devices
Background:
- The Nikkiso HPM-15 is a compact centrifugal pump previously evaluated for clinical use.
- Advancements include a newly developed controller for enhanced functionality.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report clinical experiences with the Nikkiso HPM-15 centrifugal pump in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS).
- To assess the pump's safety, ease of operation, and hemodynamic performance.
Main Methods:
- Clinical evaluation of the Nikkiso HPM-15 pump in 23 patients undergoing CPB (22 patients) or PCPS (1 patient).
- Assessment of circuit preparation, deaeration, hemodynamic stability, serum-free hemoglobin, platelet count, urine output, and renal/liver function.
Main Results:
- The pump facilitated easy circuit preparation and effective deaeration.
- Stable hemodynamics were maintained throughout CPB and PCPS procedures.
- Minimal increase in serum-free hemoglobin, temporary decrease in platelet count (recovering within 7 days), and high urine output were observed.
- No renal or liver function abnormalities occurred.
Conclusions:
- The Nikkiso HPM-15 centrifugal pump is safe and user-friendly.
- The device is effective and suitable for clinical application in CPB and PCPS procedures.

01:06Centrifugal Force
4.7K
Pseudo forces, or fictitious forces, appear to act on an object in motion in a rotating frame of reference with respect to an inertial reference frame. These forces are not real forces but rather mathematical constructs and are introduced to simplify calculations in a non-inertial frame while using Newton's laws of motion. Common examples of pseudo forces include centrifugal, Coriolis, and Euler forces. These forces are essential in fields such as mechanics, astrophysics, and fluid...

4.9K
V-type pumps are ATP-driven pumps found in the vacuolar membranes of plants, yeast, endosomal and lysosomal membranes of animal cells, plasma membranes of a few specialized eukaryotic cells, and some prokaryotes. They are also known as the V1Vo-ATPase, that couple ATP hydrolysis to transport protons against a concentration gradient.

8.4K
Centrifugation is a separation technique based on differences in density or size. It is commonly used to separate solids from aqueous interferents. During centrifugation, the sample is placed in centrifugation tubes and spun at high angular velocity, which allows centrifugal force to act differentially on the different densities or masses of the components. After spinning, the supernatant liquid is decanted. Depending on the specific application, either the pellet or the supernatant is retained...

1.3K
The application of the energy equation to centrifugal pumps is a fundamental principle in fluid dynamics and engineering. In this scenario, the energy equation is used to calculate the flow rate of a centrifugal pump responsible for transferring water between two reservoirs at different elevations. The pump applies an energy input of 7500 joules per second, and the vertical difference between the lower and upper reservoirs is 10 meters. Additionally, the head loss due to friction and other...

01:34ATP Driven Pumps II: P-type Pumps
6.5K
The P-type pumps are a large family of integral membrane transporter ATPases. They are divided into five major types based on substrate specificity, from I to V.
A typical P-type pump has three cytosolic domains: nucleotide-binding (N), phosphorylation (P), and activator (A) domains. These domains are connected to the membrane-spanning helices by short amino acid segments. ATP hydrolysis and covalent phosphoenzyme intermediate formation are crucial parts of the catalytic cycle. At the highly...

1.7K
In High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), the elution process is critical to the separation of analytes and the quality of chromatographic results. Elution describes how compounds move through the column and separate based on their interactions with the mobile and stationary phases. This process determines the resolution, peak shape, and retention times in the chromatogram, which are essential for identifying and quantifying components in complex mixtures. Understanding the elution...
