The user facility reported to terumo cardiovascular that during cardiopulmonary bypass, the arterial flow decreased when restarting the extracorporeal circulation pump.As per the subsidiary, the procedure was for a heart surgery.The event occurred at the end of a procedure, which began at 9:00 p.M., in a patient who had an aortic dissection.The patient was very delicate, they reported that he had presented 8 previous cardiac arrests.The incident occurred at 02:00 hrs.When restarting the extracorporeal circulation pump, there is a decrease in arterial flow, which is why the revolutions of the centrifugal motor increase without being able to obtain more flow, for which they decided to switch it to a manual motor.The perfusionist changed the (disposable) head of the system 1 motor and placed it on the emergency crank; however, she did not give the necessary flow either (she was unable to raise the flow to more than 2 lt/min).Procedure was not completed.The patient expired.Product was changed out with an unknown minutes of delay.There was no blood loss.Concomitant medical products.Oxygenator brizio by nipro.Control np816572,ns1321.Motor np164267,ns:6579.Flow sensor np6382,ns2253.
