Abstract
Jpn. J. Artif. Organs 11 (3), 798-803 (1982) We made the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit inserted in the pulsatile assist device (PAD) which was developed by Dr. Pregman in the arterial line, and connected to the Datascope system 80 intraaortic balloon pump console. So we developed the photo-cell triggering device to get the signal of the movement of the roller pump and got the stable PAD pulsatile wave on the roller pump wave during complete cardiopulmonary bypass. We reported the mechanism of the photo-cell triggering device to get the signal of the roller pump and the clinical evaluation of the pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass using PAD.
