Size of Cannulae for Extracorporeal Co2 Removal Therapies
نویسنده
چکیده
Extracorporeal CO2 removal devices (ECCO2R) can be used in clinics to decarboxylate blood externally for patients suffering from pulmonary insufficiencies like acute respiratory distress syndrome. In this work, we propose a model of the respiratory system coupled with such a device to analyze the decrease of CO2 partial pressure in the blood as a function of the blood flow through the device. Thanks to this information, the size of the cannulae can be optimized. Keyword(s): biomechanics

Extracorporeal Support for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Bright Future.
In the past the only option for the treatment of respiratory failure due to acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (aeCOPD) was invasive mechanical ventilation. In recent decades, the potential for extracorporeal carbon dioxide (CO2) removal has been realized. We review the various types of extracorporeal CO2 removal, outline the optimal use of these therapies for aeCOPD, a...

The impact of a new therapy that includes pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation followed by extracorporeal CO2 removal on the survival of patients with severe ARDS was evaluated in a randomized controlled clinical trial. Computerized protocols generated around-the-clock instructions for management of arterial oxygenation to assure equivalent intensity of care for patients randomized to ...
متن کاملIntegrated therapeutic strategy during noninvasive ventilation in a patient with end-stage respiratory disease.
The modern approach (ie, long-term oxygen therapy, rehabilitation, and home mechanical ventilation) has contributed to the survival of patients with chronic respiratory diseases, such as COPD.1 Every day, physicians have to face end-of-life decisions in exacerbations occurring in end-stage patients when endotracheal intubation and/or tracheostomy may be neither appropriate nor accepted (do not ...
متن کاملControl of breathing using an extracorporeal membrane lung.
Various amounts of carbon dioxide were removed through an extracorporeal membrane lung in spontaneously breathing lambs. The decrease in alveolar ventilation was proportional to the fraction of total carbon dioxide removed by the membrane lung. When extracorporeal CO2 removal approximated CO2 production (VCO2), alveolar ventilation almost ceased. Pulmonary ventilation can be controlled by extra...
