Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenator to Support Diseased Lungs
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenator to Support Diseased Lungs Monitoring the gas exchange capacity of hollow fibers with VisiSens Michael Pflaum HTTG / LEBAO - Hanover Medical School, Germany The function of a diseased lung can be supported by the application of an extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO). Aim of this study is to improve the hemocompatibility of the ECMO´s gas exchange hollow fiber surface by coating with distinct bi
