Abstract Background Hemocompatibility remains the dominant challenge in rotary blood pumps, and more information on the relationship between individual pump design features, hemodynamics, and blood trauma in various operation conditions..

Abstract Objective: Conventional mock circulatory loops (MCLs) cannot replicate realistic hemodynamic conditions without inducing blood trauma. This constrains in-vitro hemocompatibility examinations of blood pumps to static test loops that do..

Abstract Artificial lung membranes as the core module of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation technology (ECMO) execute the function of extracorporeal blood-gas barrier accomplishing CO2/O2 exchange with blood. However, the unsatisfactory hemocompatibility..

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane is a technique that provides short-term supports to the heart and lungs. It removes CO2 from the blood and provides enough oxygen, which is a huge help in the..

Abstract Antithrombogenic coatings of artificial surfaces within extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuits improved its bio- and hemocompatibility. However, there is still a risk of thrombus formation in particular within the..

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 The recent emergence of microfluidic extracorporeal lung support technologies presents an opportunity to achieve high gas transfer efficiency and improved hemocompatibility relative to the current standard of care in..

Abstract In this letter, the innate ability of nitric oxide (NO) to inhibit platelet activation/adhesion/thrombus formation is employed to improve the hemocompatibility and in vivo accuracy of an intravascular (IV) potentiometric PCO2 (partial pressure..
