Extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) has been in development for nearly 70
years, and the oxygenator has gone through several generations of optimizations, with …

Although the fundamentals of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have not
changed in 3 decades, the technical elements continue to improve and have evolved from …

As the key component of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), artificial lung
membranes have low gas permeability and plasma leakage problems, and the contact …

Background Clinical translation of the extracorporeal artificial placenta (AP) is impeded by
the high risk for intracranial hemorrhage in extremely premature newborns. The Nitric Oxide …

Extracorporeal lung assist technology is one of the last options in critical care medicine to
treat patients suffering from severe oxygenation and decarboxylation disorders. Platelet …

Background and objectives Carbon monoxide (CO) inhalation is the leading cause of poison‐
related deaths in the United States. CO binds to hemoglobin (Hb), displaces oxygen, and …

An approach for fabrication of microfiltration membranes by solvent extraction of one of the
immiscible components from a polymer blend was developed. Poly (4‐methyl‐1 …

Inhaled carbon monoxide (CO) displaces oxygen from hemoglobin, reducing the capacity of
blood to carry oxygen. Current treatments for CO-poisoned patients involve administration of …

Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) provides mechanical support following cardiac surgery
when respiratory or cardiac failure occurs. The aim of this study was to analyze the safety …

The contact between the blood and the surface of medical materials causes a series of
rejection reactions. In this process, the plasma protein is adsorbed to the surface of materials …
