Comparison of Serial and Parallel Connections of Membrane Lungs against Refractory Hypoxemia in a Mock Circuit

open access: yesMembranes, 2023
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an important rescue therapy method for the treatment of severe hypoxic lung injury. In some cases, oxygen saturation and oxygen partial pressure in the arterial blood are low despite ECMO therapy.

Medication Complications in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy is a marker of disease severity for which multiple medications are required. The therapy causes physiologic changes that impact drug pharmacokinetics.

Low flow extracorporeal CO2 removal in ARDS patients : a prospective short-term crossover pilot study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background: Lung protective mechanical ventilation (MV) is the corner stone of therapy for ARDS. However, its use may be limited by respiratory acidosis. This study explored feasibility of, effectiveness and safety of low flow extracorporeal CO2 removal (

Bonding, Conductance and Magnetization of Oxygenated Au Nanowires [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. Lett. 100, 046801 (2008), 2013
Spin-density-functional calculations of tip-suspended gold chains, with molecular oxygen, or dissociated oxygen atoms, incorporated in them, reveal structural transitions for varying lengths. The nanowires exhibit enhanced strength for both oxygen incorporation modes, and upon stretching tip atoms join the wire.

Hydrogen/nitrogen/oxygen defect complexes in silicon from computational searches [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. B 80, 144112 (2009), 2009
Point defect complexes in crystalline silicon composed of hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms are studied within density-functional theory (DFT). Ab initio Random Structure Searching (AIRSS) is used to find low-energy defect structures. We find new lowest-energy structures for several defects: the triple-oxygen defect, {3O}, triple oxygen with a ...

Computer-assisted ex vivo, normothermic small bowel perfusion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Background: In the present study, a technique for computer-assisted, normothermic, oxygenated, ex vivo, recirculating small bowel perfusion was established as a tool to investigate organ pretreatment protocols and ischemia/reperfusion phenomena.

Impact of the Addition of a Centrifugal Pump in a Preterm Miniature Pig Model of the Artificial Placenta

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
The recent demonstration of normal development of preterm sheep in an artificial extrauterine environment has renewed interest in artificial placenta (AP) systems as a potential treatment strategy for extremely preterm human infants.

Study protocol: NITric oxide during cardiopulmonary bypass to improve Recovery in Infants with Congenital heart defects (NITRIC trial): a randomised controlled trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Introduction Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a major cause of infant mortality. Many infants with CHD require corrective surgery with most operations requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

Basics of cardiopulmonary bypass

open access: yesIndian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2017
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) provides a bloodless field for cardiac surgery. It incorporates an extracorporeal circuit to provide physiological support in which venous blood is drained to a reservoir, oxygenated and sent back to the body using a pump ...
