| Abstract: | Veno-venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a support system that temporarily supports patients that suffer from respiratory system failure. In recent years, the demand for VV-ECMO treatment increased and therewith also the need for innovation, in particular ways to train personnel. The eduECMO project aims to fill this research gap between the stated need and the current lack of high-fidelity ECMO simulators. This thesis is situated within this project, where a venous model was designed and developed that represents the human anatomy and hemodynamics around cannulation sites. The final product is an assembly of seven components that together form the venous model. It contains a cannulation path which is used during simulation, and a supporting circuit for the hemodynamics. The outcome of this thesis is a literature foundation, verified design, and initial prototype of the venous model, that can be used for future research on high-fidelity (VV)-ECMO simulators. |
