Add to ORKGDEVELOPMENT OF A PARACORPOREAL RESPIRATORY ASSIST LUNGRobert G. Svitek, PhDUniversity of Pittsburgh, 2006A Paracorporeal Respiratory Assist Lung (PRAL) was developed for supplemental gasexchange to allow the native lungs of acute lung failure patients time to heal. The deviceconsisted of a rotating annular microporous hollow fiber membrane bundle. The rotationaugmented the gas exchange efficiency of the device at constant flowrate therebyuncoupling gas exchange and flowrate. The rotating fibers also enabled the PRAL topump the blood without the need for an additional pump or arterial cannulation. Aprototype was manufactured with an overall surface area of 0.42 m2, and CO2 removalrates were 101 ml/min at a blood flowrates of 0.75 L/min. When...
