Development of a Membrane Oxygenator for Total Liquid Ventilation
نویسنده
چکیده
Total liquid ventilation (TLV) is an effective treatment for severe respiratory failure. However, there still remains the problem about CO2 removal performance from the living body. The CO2 removal efficiency depends on the pressure difference between liquid side and gas side of a membrane oxygenator. In this study, two types of TLV-OX were developed to solve this problem. To produce high CO2 removal rate, these TLV-OX have uniform flow condition in the fiber bundle by inserting flow distributor (FD) in inlet and outlet part of TLV-OX.

The addition of a membrane oxygenator to a ventricular assist device in a patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
A 12-year-old boy with Marfan's syndrome required a biventricular assist device (VAD) after an aortic root replacement. The patient developed acute respiratory distress syndrome and required escalating ventilator support. We hypothesized that the addition of a membrane oxygenator in series with the assist device would improve gas exchange and allow for a more lung-protective ventilator approach...
متن کاملDevelopment of a new hollow fiber silicone membrane oxygenator for ECMO: the recent progress.
Throughout the last 50 years, many improvements have been made for a more effective oxygenator. A large plate type membrane oxygenator, used by Clowes, and a coil type, used by Kolff, has evolved into the small hollow fiber oxygenator. The complex bubble oxygenator, or rotating disk oxygenator, has become a small disposable bubble oxygenator. The currently available oxygenators are extremely sm...

Liquid Membrane (LM) based processes, as Supported Liquid Membranes (SLMs), have been proposed, for over 30 years, as effective methods for the selective separation of inorganic/organic species from different water streams. The industrial use of SLMs has been limited mainly by their insufcient stability. To investigate on the main cause of system destabilization and the o...
متن کاملVeno-right ventricular extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for thoracic surgery: an experimental study in dogs.
BACKGROUND Although the indications for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have been extended, ECMO has yet to be used as a respiratory support system during thoracic surgery. The purpose of this experimental study was to investigate whether veno-right ventricular (veno-RV) ECMO can be used for thoracic surgery without mechanical ventilation. METHODS Acute experimental study: Veno-RV ...

Gaseous microemboli (GME) remain a challenge for cardiopulmonary bypass procedures in adult as well as pediatric cardiac surgery patients. The present study tested the effectiveness of a new adult membrane oxygenator in models both with and without an integrated arterial filter to evaluate GME trapping capability and determine membrane pressure drops at various flow rates and temperatures. The ...
