Abstract:The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a mechanical heart assist device (MHAD), temporally applicable, used to increase blood flow in the arteries of the heart muscle (coronary arteries). The main control problem associated with the BIA is the choice of actuation times that maximize his operational performance. To evaluate the operational reliability of the BIA, control systems check performance indexes. The present work proposes a methodology based on 0D models to generate control recommendations, and also e… Show more
