Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation and the Kidney [PDF]

Cardiorenal Medicine, 2015
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an effective therapy for patients with reversible cardiac and/or respiratory failure. Acute kidney injury (AKI) often occurs in patients supported with ECMO; it frequently evolves into chronic kidney damage or end-stage renal disease and is associated with a

The Dynamics of Platinum Precipitation in an Ion Exchange Membrane [PDF]

Journal of The Electrochemical Society, 158(3) B322-B330 (2011), 2013
Microscopy of polymer electrolyte membranes that have undergone operation under fuel cell conditions, have revealed a well defined band of platinum in the membrane. Here, we propose a physics based model that captures the mechanism of platinum precipitation in the polymer electrolyte membrane.

Models for plasma kinetics during simultaneous therapeutic plasma exchange and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
This paper focuses on the derivation and simulation of mathematical models describing new plasma fraction in blood for patients undergoing simultaneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and therapeutic plasma exchange. Models for plasma exchange with either veno-arterial or veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation are considered.

Following red blood cells in a pulmonary capillary [PDF]

ESAIM: Proc., 2008, Vol. 23, pp. 48-65, 2007
The red blood cells or erythrocytes are biconcave shaped cells and consist mostly in a membrane delimiting a cytosol with a high concentration in hemoglobin. This membrane is highly deformable and allows the cells to go through narrow passages like the capillaries which diameters can be much smaller than red blood cells one. They carry oxygen thanks to

Tailored 3D Lattice Microstructures for Enhanced Functionality in Blood‐Gas Exchange

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Common hollow fiber structures are associated with inhomogeneous flow, leading to many complications in the medical application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Using locally adapted lattice structures, the overall flow distribution can be manipulated.

Converting Hemodialysis (HD) membranes to Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) machines [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Crises like COVID-19 can create a massive unmet demand for rare blood oxygenation membrane machines for impaired lungs: Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) machines. Meanwhile, Hemodialysis (HD) machines, which use membranes to supplement failing kidneys, are extremely common and widespread, with orders of magnitude more available than for ECMO ...
