Abstract
Data from animal experiments with mechanical circulatory support systems (MCSS) performed in Groningen and Marseille over the past years were used to obtain normal values of hematological, coagulation, rheological and blood chemistry parameters in calves. These parameters were divided between two groups: a limited number of parameters necessary to assess biocompatibility properties of MCSS quickly and a more extensive number of parameters suitable for more detailed biological evaluation of blood pumps. All applied tests can be examined in calf blood as well as in human blood. Parameters were selected on clinical relevance and usefulness for standardization procedures. The obtained data were compared with normal values in human beings derived from the literature.
