+++ With small diametered lines, the prime volume is low+++ Sensitive flow control even at low flow rates--- Hemolysis or damage to the other formed elements of the blood--- Roller pump induced tubing tear of polyvinylchloride and silicone rubber tubing--- Inability to provide appropriate position The new generation heart lung machine can be given the required position.
Centrifugal Pumps
+++ More mobile
+++ Less hemolysis or damage to the other formed elements of the blood
+++ Reducing the flow line to prevent the high pressure in arterial line obstructions
