Additional Information for Heart Cannula
Heart cannulae are medical devices used during cardiac surgery to provide temporary circulatory support and facilitate the flow of blood during the procedure. They are typically made of flexible materials such as silicone or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and are designed to be inserted into the heart or major blood vessels.
Heart cannulae consist of a hollow tube with one or more openings, called ports, which allow for the inflow and outflow of blood. The cannula is connected to a perfusion system, which includes a pump and oxygenator, to maintain blood circulation and oxygenation while the heart is temporarily stopped or bypassed.
During cardiac surgery, heart cannulae are inserted into the heart chambers or blood vessels through small incisions. The inflow cannula is placed in the left atrium or aorta to draw deoxygenated blood from the patient's body, while the outflow cannula is positioned in the ascending aorta or pulmonary artery to return oxygenated blood back to the patient's circulatory system.
Heart cannulae come in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different patient anatomies and surgical procedures. They are sterile and disposable to minimize the risk of infection.
Overall, heart cannulae play a crucial role in maintaining blood flow and oxygenation during cardiac surgery, allowing surgeons to perform procedures on a still or bypassed heart.
