DISPOSITIVO DE SIMULACION CARDIOLOGICA NEONATAL CON SISTEMA DE CONTRACCION ELECTROMECANICA Y CIRCUITO DE PERFUSION EXTRACORPOREA PARA NEONATOS CONSERVADOS EN THIEL

Abstract

A neonatal cardiac simulation device with an electromechanical contraction system and extracorporeal perfusion circuit for Thiel-preserved neonates, characterized in that it comprises: a Thiel solution container connected by umbilical cannulation lines to the blood vessels of the umbilical cord of a biological neonatal model preserved using the Thiel technique; a peristaltic pump, a venoclysis filter, and flow valves integrated into the perfusion circuit; a plurality of myoactuators installed in the cardiac tissue to generate synchronized mechanical contractions; a housing mounted on a frame containing a rechargeable battery, an electronic board, a power module, pressure and flow sensors, ventilators, and a wireless communication module; furthermore, an external display with buttons and a potentiometer for controlling the simulated heart rate;where sensors monitor in real time the hemodynamic conditions of the closed extracorporeal circuit designed to reproduce neonatal circulation.
