Abstract Introduction Prolonged extracorporeal circulation time is known to cause intraoperative and postoperative bleeding, but the underlying mechanism is not fully understood. In this study, we analyzed the effects of..

Abstract Artificial lung (AL) systems provide respiratory support to patients with severe lung disease, but none can adapt to the changing respiratory needs of the patients. Precisely, none can automatically..

Abstract The artificial lung (AL) technology is one of the membrane-based artificial organs that partly augments lung functions, i.e. blood and CO2 removal. It is generally employed as an extracorporeal membrane (ECMO) device to..

Abstract Background Artificial lungs have the potential to serve as a bridge to transplantation or recovery for children with end-stage lung disease dependent on extracorporeal life support, but such devices..

Abstract Background. A wearable artificial lung could improve lung transplantation outcomes by easing implementation of physical rehabilitation during long-term pretransplant respiratory support. The Modular Extracorporeal Lung Assist System (ModELAS) is..

Abstract Extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R) can permit lung protective or noninvasive ventilation strategies in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). With evidence supporting ECCO2R..

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life support system that circulates the blood through an oxygenating system to temporarily (days to months) support heart or lung function during cardiopulmonary..

Abstract Measurements of transcutaneous carbon dioxide (tcCO2) have been used in multiple venues, such as during procedures utilizing jet ventilation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, as well as both the adult and..
