Current Possibilities in Use of a Centrifugal Pump in the Cardiac Sugery Abstract Currently, the most commonly used technical solution for pumping blood during extracorporeal circulation during cardiac surgery, as well as for some types of ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) are either a roller pump or centrifugal pump. Due to its advantages the centrifugal pump is mainly used for prolonged extracorporeal circulation in cardiac surgery and as a heart and / or lung support system. In current literature there is a lack of compelling scientific evidence that would clearly support its use in a routine cardiac surgery. The aim of our study was to compare both types of currently used blood pumps in longer cardiac procedures with deep hypothermic circulation arrest. In a randomized clinical study we had selected a group of patients that underwent a pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) in order to demonstrate the positive effects of the centrifugal pump on the postoperative inflammatory reactions. There were no statistically significant differences between these two pumps when other clinical and laboratory parameters were observed. Based on the hypothesis that significant temperature changes during cardiac procedure with a deep hypothermia can affect sealing pressure of the endotracheal tube cuff, we performed a...
