| Abstract | The new generation of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) is based on rotary pumps used to augment the blood flow from the failing heart of a patient. A controller is necessary for these devices to properly control the blood flow, to detect failure modes, and to avoid adverse effects of the pump operation. In particular, it is essential that the pump accommodate changes to preload and afterload of the patient's circulatory system. The pump must increase blood flow in response to additional venous return, and maintain pressure in response to changes in systemic vascular resistance (SVR) of the patient. However, the limited availability of observable variables makes it difficult to explicitly close the feedback loop to generate the control. In this paper, we describe a feedback mechanism which uses the gradients of mean pump flow and minimum (diastolic) pump flow to control the pump speed. The objective of this controller is to optimize flow while avoiding suction. The optimum speed is obtained by minimizing in real time the gradient of blood flow with respect to speed. Simulations were carried out on a state-space model of the cardiovascular system combined with a rotary pump to demonstrate the responsiveness and robustness of this algorithm. The results show that the gradient methods can continuously track the optimal flow point in response to step perturbations of preload and SVR. Our results also show that a feedback controller based on the gradient method applied on a diastolic pump flow demonstrates better performance than when applied on mean pump flow. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
