Abstract Purpose of Review Although lung transplantation can be used to treat lung failure,
limited donor organ availability creates a pressing need for improved artificial lung …

Background: Veno-venous extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal allows clearance of CO2
from the blood and is becoming popular to enhance protective mechanical ventilation and …

Background. A wearable artificial lung could improve lung transplantation outcomes by
easing implementation of physical rehabilitation during long-term pretransplant respiratory …

Abstract Extracorporeal CO 2 removal (ECCO 2 R) can permit lung protective or noninvasive
ventilation strategies in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and …

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 …

Transport phenomena through hollow fiber membrane contactors (HFMCs) indicate the
exchange of a component between the two phases, inside and outside of hollow fibers. In …

CO2 removal via membrane oxygenators during lung protective ventilation has become a
reliable clinical technique. For further optimization of oxygenators, accurate prediction of the …

Ambulating patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or extracorporeal
CO 2 removal (ECCO 2 R) improves outcomes. These systems would further simplify …

Background Invasive mechanical ventilation is lifesaving in the setting of severe acute
respiratory failure but can cause ventilation-induced lung injury. Advances in extracorporeal …

Low flow extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO 2 R) is a promising approach to
correct hypercapnic lung failure, facilitate lung protective ventilation in acute respiratory …
