Virginia Commonwealth University researchers have developed a high-fidelity artificial blood pump designed to replicate human blood flow in surgical simulations. The device, created by biomedical engineer Peter Pidcoe and surgical simulation administrator Susan Haynes, addresses limitations of existing training systems that lacked pulsatile or variable flow.
The system can simulate realistic physiological responses, including heart rate, stroke volume, and blood pressure changes during trauma scenarios. The technology can be used to improve surgical education and readiness for both civilian and military medical professionals. The solution is currently undergoing a provisional patent, with a final product expected to be compact and adaptable for wider use.
