In this study, we have analyzed the changes in mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and the dynamic deformability and mechanical fragility of red blood cells (RBCs) in five male Holstein calves (body weight: 95.6 ± 10.8 kg) whose circulation was partially supported with a novel magnetically levitated extracorporeal centrifugal blood pump MedTech Dispo. One hour after the pumping has started, the MCV increased and the MCHC decreased by 1.064 ± 0.006 and 0.906 ± 0.050 times, respectively, as compared with those of the prepumped blood (P< 0.05). The deformability index L/W, where L and W are the long and short axes of the two‐dimensional RBC images, respectively, sheared by a cyclically reversing shear flow increased indicating that the RBCs pumped for 1 h exhibited more elastic characteristics (P< 0.05). In addition, when the pumped blood cells were sheared for 30 min with a uniform shear stress of 25.38 Pa, the hemolysis level decreased dramatically as compared with the control blood, as more fragile RBCs were destroyed by pumping, leaving behind less fragile RBCs. All these characteristics of the RBCs exposed to continuous flow resemble those of young RBCs having larger MCV, lower MCHC, higher elasticity, and lower fragility. In conclusion, during continuous flow pumping, the RBCs having relatively lower threshold for hemolysis to mechanical shear stress generated by continuous flow blood pump (CFBP) are destroyed first and removed from circulation in the early stage of application of CFBP, thus leaving behind less fragile and stronger RBCs.
