Q

What is syphon drainage dependent on

A
  • CVP (central venous pressure
  • Cannula size, tubing, connectors and resistance
  • Height difference
  • volume of air in tubing

  • Collapse of vena cava (chattering and possible damage interior wall structure)
  • Amplification of venous air (microbubbles)
43
Q

  • Start only if syphon can drain up to a 75% flow
  • No substitution for poor cannulation, small catheter and position
  • Always turn VAVD off before filling the heart
45

It is kinetic assisted venous drainage. There is a pump (roller or cetrifugal) in front of the reservoir that actively draines the blood from the heart.
