DEVICE AND METHOD FOR REGULATING AND PRESETTING THE PUMP RATE OF BLOOD PUMPS

摘要

The invention pertains to the regulation and specification of pump rates of blood pumps. The invention relates to a device and a method in which blood pressures are monitored upstream and/or downstream of the blood pump, and said values or another value formed from said values is compared with a threshold which depends on an operating parameter of the blood pump or a pump parameter of the blood pump. When the threshold is violated, the pump rate of the blood pump is changed or a new pump rate is determined such that the threshold is no longer violated or the degree of the violation is reduced.
