Improvement of a Mathematical Model to Predict CO2 Removal in Hollow Fiber Membrane Oxygenators
Bioengineering, 2022 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 ...

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Deutsches Ärzteblatt international, 2022 Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) and veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), also known as extracorporeal life support (ECLS), can both be used to treat patients with acute pulmonary or cardiovascular failure.This review is based on publications retrieved by a selective search in PubMed on the topics of ...

Prolonged Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2006 When all conventional treatments for respiratory failure in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have failed, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can provide a chance of survival in these desperately ill patients. A 49-year-old

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [PDF]
F1000Prime Reports, 2013 Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an advanced form of life support technology whereby venous blood is oxygenated outside of the body and returned to the patient. ECMO was initially used as last-resort rescue therapy for patients with severe respiratory failure.
