Full Description
Mechanical Circulatory and Respiratory Support, Second Edition, continues to provide a comprehensive overview of the past, present and future development of mechanical circulatory and respiratory support devices. This new edition provides an update on the field while also introducing new elements within the field such as ex-vivo perfusion, devices for HFpEF, design for manufacture, oxygenator design, and more content on route to market.
Chapters from over 60 internationally-renowned experts focuses on the entire life-cycle of mechanical circulatory and respiratory support - from the descent into heart and lung failure, alternative medical management, device options, device design, implantation techniques, complications and medical management of the supported patient, patient-device interactions, cost effectiveness, route to market and a view to the future.
This second edition is a useful resource for biomedical engineers and clinicians who are designing new mechanical circulatory or respiratory support devices, while also providing a comprehensive guide of the entire field for those who are already familiar with some areas and want to learn more. Reviews of the most cutting-edge research are provided throughout each chapter, along with guides on how to design new devices and which areas require specific focus for future research and development.
