Additional Information for Surgical Heart Support
Surgical Heart Support refers to a range of medical devices and equipment used to provide support and assistance during cardiac surgeries and procedures. These supplies are classified under the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" and belong to the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
Surgical Heart Support supplies may include:
1. Cardiopulmonary Bypass Systems: These systems are used to temporarily take over the function of the heart and lungs during open-heart surgeries. They consist of a heart-lung machine, oxygenator, and other components.
2. Heart-Lung Machines: These machines are a vital part of cardiopulmonary bypass systems. They pump and oxygenate blood, allowing the surgeon to stop the heart temporarily while performing surgical procedures.
3. Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) Systems: ECMO systems provide long-term heart and lung support for patients with severe cardiac or respiratory failure. They use a pump to circulate blood through an artificial lung (oxygenator) and return it to the patient's body.
4. Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs): VADs are mechanical pumps used to support the pumping function of the heart in patients with severe heart failure. They can be implanted inside the body or used externally.
5. Intra-aortic Balloon Pumps (IABPs): IABPs are devices inserted into the aorta to assist the heart in pumping blood. They inflate and deflate in sync with the patient's heartbeat, improving blood flow and oxygenation.
6. Cardiac Stabilizers: These devices are used to immobilize and stabilize the heart during cardiac surgeries, allowing surgeons to perform precise procedures.
7. Cardiac Sutures and Staples: These surgical supplies are used to close incisions and suture blood vessels during cardiac surgeries.
8. Perfusion Cannulas: These cannulas are used to establish a connection between the patient's blood vessels and the cardiopulmonary bypass system, allowing blood to be diverted and oxygenated.
9. Heart Valves: Surgical heart support also includes various types of heart valves used for valve replacement or repair procedures.
It's important to note that this is not an exhaustive list, and there may be other specific supplies and equipment related to surgical heart support within the mentioned supply class and group.
