Title: DEVELOPMENT OF MICROFLUIDIC OXYGENATORS AS LUNG ASSISTING DEVICES FOR PRETERM INFANTS
Abstract: This paper reports the development of a microfluidic oxygenator and the feasibility of using porous polycarbonate (PC) membrane to enhance gas-exchange. The performance of this oxygenator was compared to another using PDMS membrane and a commercial hollow-fiber based oxygenator. The results showed at least fivefold increase in O2 flux can be achieved using the microfluidic oxygenator.
