Abstract:
Objective: In order to study the oxygenation mechanism of intravascular oxygenator(IVOX) and improve its practical efficiency
Methods: A new IVOX was fabricated using polypropylene hollow fiber membrane and its efficacy was chacked on 9 experimental dogs
Results: In vivo experimental testing of IVOX, arterial blood gas was improved in acute hypoxic and hypercapnic dogs The IVOX could increase PaO
2 4.06 kPa(
P<0.01),and decrease PaCO
2 1.99 kPa(
P>0.05)
Conclusion: The new form of IVOX seems to be sucessful in improving hypoxic and hypercapnia but it is nessesary to further improve its efficiency along with bionics
