Abstract:
Artificial lung, also called oxygenator, has the properties of oxygenation, heterotherm, blood store, filtration, and blood retrieval, oxygenates venous blood with low oxygen to arterial blood with high oxygen, similar to human physiological condition, and functions as an ideal artificial organ. Membrane artificial lung has been widely used in extracorporeal circulation of cardiovascular surgery, as well as rescue of respiratory failure, i.e. extracorporeal life support or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. And the intravascular oxygenator has been primarily used in clinic. In particular, membrane oxygenator is essential for patients with severe disease, poor heart function, and long-duration operation. Currently, based on membrane material modification and optimization, as well as experimental and clinical evaluations of various properties, studies of artificial lung focus on improvement of gas exchange and biocompatibility, so as to provide reliable means of rescuing patients.
