The thermally powered left ventricular assist system (LVAS) requires that heat be dissipated to surrounding lung tissue and blood. This acute study was conducted in three anesthetized calves (weighing 84.3+/-14.3 kg) to evaluate the mechanisms involved in the dissipation of heat to the lung tissue. The heaters were placed in contact with the left lung surface and skeletal muscle tissue. Compared to the muscle tissue, heat flux to the lung was approximately three times higher for the same surface temperatures. For a constant heat flux, lung interface temperature tended to vary inversely with the cardiac output and ventilatory flow. This preliminary study demonstrated that the level of heat generated by the thermal LVAS can be effectively dissipated to the lung, with the convection mechanisms of airflow and blood flow playing a major role.
