12.1.1 Replacing the blood pump beca<strong>use</strong> of growth of the patient<br />

For children, plan <strong>for</strong> a switch to a larger blood pump(s) ahead of time.<br />

Otherwise there is a danger of inadequate support due to a discharge<br />

rate that is too low.<br />

It is possible that the blood pump selected at the time of implantation cannot<br />

guarantee adequate support <strong>for</strong> the entire period of therapy. Physical growth and/or<br />

an increase in weight of the patient can mean that the patient is not adequately<br />

supported with the present pump. There<strong>for</strong>e plan <strong>for</strong> a replacement of the blood<br />

pump ahead of time. Refer to the table showing the ratio between body weight and<br />

pump size in section 13.1 Overview: product range and combination options. This<br />

table serves solely <strong>for</strong> orientation purposes and cannot be applied in every individual<br />

case. The surgeon must select a pump in consultation with the <strong>Berlin</strong> <strong>Heart</strong> GmbH.<br />
