Experimental evaluation of pumpless ECMO by left pulmonary artery-left atrium bypass

Abstract

Camparative studies on SARNS-16310 and Masterflo 50 membrane oxygenator.New method of pumpless ECMO using two different membrane oxgenator was done in 13 dogs. During ltPA-LA bypass, blood pressure is stable, bypass flow was 20-60% of C. O., and gas transfer was efficient. There was no significant difference between two different oxygenator abut these parameters. This method maybe usefull for the implantable artificial lung.
