Improvement of a Mathematical Model to Predict CO2 Removal in Hollow Fiber Membrane Oxygenators
The use of extracorporeal oxygenation and CO2 removal has gained clinical validity and popularity in recent years. These systems are composed of a pump to drive blood flow through the circuit and a hollow fiber membrane bundle through which gas exchange ...

Basics of cardiopulmonary bypass
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 ...
