AREAS OF APPLICATION WITH CARDIOHELP
CARDIOHELP System
is the world’s smallest portable heart-lung support system.
It is ideal for use in:
 Intensive care units
 cardiac catheter laboratory
 operating room
 trauma room
Furthermore, it is the perfect solution for safe and effective patient transport.
There are, therefore, now new areas of use and treatment possibilities for extracorporeal circulation.
AREAS OF APPLICATION WITH CARDIOHELP
Intensive care medicine:
CARDIOHELP System opens up new treatment options in intensive care
medicine which put far less stress on the patient and are also
comparatively inexpensive. In cases of respiratory failure, the device
provides the oxygen supply.
Further areas of use include:
 Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
 Septic shock
 Pulmonary embolism

AREAS OF APPLICATION WITH CARDIOHELP
Cardiology:
In the event of cardiogenic shock, a frequent consequence
of a heart attack, it is crucial to provide circulatory support
as quickly as possible. This must be guaranteed until the
body is able to resume this function itself. CARDIOHELP
System can prevent organ damage resulting from
insufficient oxygen supply to the vital organs.
Areas of application include:
 Cardiogenic shock
 As stand-by or prophylactic support during high risk PCI
 As a bridging system (bridge to recovery, bridge to bridge, bridge to decision, etc.), e. g., for myocarditis

AREAS OF APPLICATION WITH CARDIOHELP
Cardiac surgery:
At the end of the 1990s, MAQUET developed the minimized
extracorporeal circulation system (MECC System). Its clinical use in
the operating room led to new applications of extracorporeal life
support (ECLS) which required immediate or extended circulatory
support. This principle has been perfected with CARDIOHELP System
and the compact, integrated design of the HLS Modules. Thanks to
the system’s mobility, patients can undergo further therapeutic
measures (e. g., intensive care) and diagnostic investigations (e. g.,
CT) during extracorporeal life support.
The areas of use:
 Pre-operative heart-lung support (e. g., cardiogenic shock)
 Post-operative heart-lung support (e. g., low cardiac output syndrome)
 As a bridging system (bridge to recovery, bridge to bridge, bridge to decision, etc.)

AREAS OF APPLICATION WITH CARDIOHELP
Emergency medicine:
CARDIOHELP Device weighs in at approx. 11 kg and can easily
be carried by one person and is sufficiently compact to be used
during transport. The system is used in emergencies to restore
and stabilize the atient’s cardiopulmonary functions. It may
have to be used during cardiopulmonary resuscitation caused
by, amongst others:
 Anaphylactic shock
 Intoxication
 Hypothermia
DIFFERENT THERAPY APPLICATIONS
WITH CARDIOHELP
The individual operating modes and the disposables make the CARDIOHELP life
support system suitable for all indications where cardiac and/or respiratory
support is needed. Thus, the principle of ECLS for supplying the heart and/or
lungs with oxygen is now available in new areas as a means of life support and
to
save
lives.
During open heart surgery, for example minimal extracorporeal circulation
(MECC) with the CARDIOHELP life support system, ECLS is less stressful for the
patient than the use of a conventional heart-lung machine. In cases of
respiratory failure without cardiac impairment CARDIOHELP provides
DIFFERENT THERAPY APPLICATIONS
WITH CARDIOHELP
Veno-venous ECLS
Respiratory assistance for lung disorders:
This form of ECLS is mostly used when the heart is still able to pump blood through
the circulatory system without any additional support, as in the case of acute
respiratory failure or a massive pulmonary embolism. The blood is removed from the
jugular vein or a femoral vein for enrichment with oxygen, after which it is returned to
a vein.
Place of use: ICU
Fields of applications:
 Respiratory failure without cardiac impairment:
 ARDS
 Septic shock
 Bridge to lung transplant
Customer and Patient value:
Little complexity, safe to use and more security due to little to no change of
components during entire system run.
DIFFERENT THERAPY APPLICATIONS
WITH CARDIOHELP
Veno-arterial ECLS is used with patients whose hearts are not adequately supporting
the circulation, or have stopped. This occurs with a myocardial infarction (heart
attack). It is vitally important to ensure cardiopulmonary support as early as possible
Veno-arterial ECLS
to prevent organ damage. Furthermore, the CARDIOHELP life support system can
Cardiac and respiratory support:
increase the patient’s chances of survival by enabling examination in the cardiac
catheter laboratory and revascularization by means of catheters or cardiac surgery.
Place of use: ICU, Cath. Lab, ER, OR
Fields of application: respiratory and circulatory failure:
 Cardiogenic shock
 During cardiopulmonary resuscitation
 As preventive left ventricular support in the event of low cardiac output During PTCA
 In cases of acute cardiac arrest or severe cardiogenic shock during the intervention
 As standby during high-risk PTCA
 In cases of acute post-infarction VSD
Customer and patient value:
One system fits all, from a fast deployable emergency life saving circulatory support
system
to a long term VAD with oxygenation possibility.
Special feature: for a cardiac support and respiratory assistance
