Can intrinsic parameters of a rotary blood pump accurately estimate pump flow rate and detect abnormal conditions in an LVAD calf model?
Intrinsic parameters of rotary blood pumps can effectively estimate flow rate and detect abnormal conditions like the sucking phenomenon without the need for external sensors.
