2. Intra-aortic balloon pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intra-aortic_balloon_pump

   An intra-aortic balloon pump. The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a mechanical device that increases myocardial oxygen perfusion and indirectly increases cardiac output through afterload reduction. It consists of a cylindrical polyurethane balloon that sits in the aorta, approximately 2 centimeters (0.79 in) from the left subclavian artery. [1]

3. Ventricular assist device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_assist_device

   In the centrifugal pumps, the rotors are shaped to accelerate the blood circumferentially and thereby cause it to move toward the outer rim of the pump, whereas in the axial flow pumps the rotors are more or less cylindrical with blades that are helical, causing the blood to be accelerated in the direction of the rotor's axis. [18]

4. Adrian Kantrowitz - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Kantrowitz

   Based on Kantrowitz's theory of "counterpulsation", the device inflated the balloon with helium gas when the heart relaxed and deflated it when the heart pumped blood. [6] [7] The pump did not require surgery and could be inserted using local anesthetic in an emergency room or at a patient's bedside. The device was first used in August 1967 to ...

5. Impella - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impella

   The Impella Device is a generational extension of the Intra aortic balloon pump (IABP) in addressing cardiogenic shock. Tech has allowed a single moving piece floated by magnetically steered mechanisms to deploy an "Archimedes Pump" just north of the Aortic Valve that purports to reduce both preload and afterload.

6. Cardiopulmonary bypass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiopulmonary_bypass

   Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) or heart-lung machine, also called the pump or CPB pump, is a machine that temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lungs during open-heart surgery by maintaining the circulation of blood and oxygen throughout the body. [1] As such it is an extracorporeal device. CPB is operated by a perfusionist. The ...

8. Elastomeric pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastomeric_pump

   Elastomeric pumps, also called balloon pumps or ball pumps, are usually used in the medical field to administer liquid drugs such as local anesthetics, analgesics, cytostatics or antibiotics (depending on the therapy). The required pressure for administering the drug comes from the elastomeric layer that is molded inside the pump.
