Flow and blood clot detection in the ECMO system
Abstract eng: During certain severe medical situations, the only option for treatment is to use a heart and lung machine. This is carried out by temporarily relieve the heart and lungs to allow for recovery. One of the main issues associated with the treatment is the possible risk of blood clot formation within the machine. During such an event, the entire system needs to be changed. In this study, the flow in the pump, cannula as well as tubing of such a system is investigated. The main motivation is to understand the reason for the formation of blood clots as well as identify possible sites where blood coagulation may be initiated.
