Key result
The electromechanical driven pusher plate type total artificial heart compensated for the effect of respiration without an averaging system, maintaining stable mean output pressure.

Preclinical data support respiration compensation in TAH without averaging; leaves open human translation pending further studies.
Does an electromechanical driven pusher plate type total artificial heart without an averaging system maintain stable output pressure during the respiration cycle?
An electromechanical driven pusher plate type total artificial heart can compensate for respiratory effects and maintain stable output pressure without needing an averaging system.
Ohashi et al. (1997) studied this question. Electromechanical driven pusher plate type total artificial heart (TAH) without an averaging system was evaluated on Mean output pressure, heart rate, and outflow. The electromechanical driven pusher plate type total artificial heart compensated for the effect of respiration without an averaging system, maintaining stable mean output pressure.
