Software interface used during the e-Learning training course. Window [A] represents a first level of choice that permits to select among different districts of cardiocirculatory network, different mechanical assist devices and different mechanical ventilatory assistance. Panels [B] and [C] show two different possible networks choose. In panel [B] is represented a network with a simple implementation of systemic and pulmonary arterial sections and with a parallel pneumatic left ventricular assist device (LVAD). In panel [C] is represented a network with a complex implementation of systemic and pulmonary arterial tree and with “in series” rotary left ventricular assist device (Hemopump).
