Trial‐Based Hemolysis Modeling to Investigate Operating Modes of Continuous‐Flow LVADs

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
This work presents a methodology for determining online‐capable hemolysis models for continuous‐flow LVADs, derived from in vitro trials. The models are based on fitting a modified power law and applying the Lagrangian approach. They assist clinicians in selecting treatment strategies that minimize hemolysis, as demonstrated with the Sputnik1 LVAD ...
