Hemolysis at Low Blood Flow Rates: In-Vitro and In-Silico Evaluation of A Centrifugal Blood Pump
These findings underline the urgent need for a specific pump optimized for low-flow treatment. Due to the inherent problems of available centrifugal pumps in the low-flow range, clinicians should use the current centrifugal pumps with caution, alternatively other pumping principles such as positive displacement pumps may be discussed in the future.
