Abstract: Abstract: Centrifugal pumps have more and more clinical applications as a new generation of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) power device because of its small size, light weight, high safety coefficient, large flow rate and minor damage to blood components. At present, centrifugal pumps are widely used in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), left heart assist and conventional CPB heart surgery in foreign hospitals. In recent years, although there have been reports on the clinical application of centrifugal pumps in China, most of them are used for ECMO, and the majority of conventional CPB heart surgery still uses rolling pump as the driving blood pump. In this paper, the current situation, clinical application, advantages and precautions of centrifugal pump research at home and abroad are reviewed in order to better guide clinical work.
