Zusammenfassung:An integrated blood pump (110), oxygenator, and heat exchanger is provided having a rotating hollow fiber bundle (115) assembly. A plurality of vanes arranged along a central shaft (124) of the device increase pressure near th e center of the fiber bundle (115) to develop sufficient pressure head to pump the blood through the heat exchanger. In alternative embodiments, the heat exchanger comprises a pleated metal wall, a bundle of non-permeable hollow fibers (115), or a coiled tube (130) disposed between the rotating hollow fiber bundle (115), and an interior wall of the housing (113).
