Abstract:
A computer-based online search of Pubmed, Wanfang database and Chinese Journal Full-text Database was undertaken to identify literature and analyze characteristics of membrane oxygenator. Separation membrane, commonly used for artificial lung, has developed from drum, plate folding pattern to microporous hollow fiber membrane. In microporous hollow fiber membrane oxygenator, the hollow fiber membrane is the main place that transition occurs from oxygen to carbon dioxide. Because of the advantages in transition area and oxygenation form, it has become main study direction of artificial lung recently. Hollow fiber is mainly composed of high polymer materials with good fibrogenic capability, and membrane materials with good membrane-forming ability, heat stability, chemical stability, acid and alkali resistance, microbe erosion and antioxygenation. Current studies focus on how to improve gas exchange ability and biocompatibility, such as to improve membrane materials, optimize design and experimental and clinical evaluation of performance.
