   An artificial lung (AL) is an artificial organ that provides oxygenation of blood and removal of carbon dioxide from the blood. The AL is intended to take over some of the functionality of biological lungs .

3. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracorporeal_membrane...

   The device used is a membrane oxygenator, also known as an artificial lung. ECMO works by temporarily drawing blood from the body to allow artificial oxygenation of the red blood cells and removal of carbon dioxide. Generally, it is used either post-cardiopulmonary bypass or in late-stage treatment of a person with profound heart and/or lung ...

   In 2019, Reynolds' team at Duke similarly kept a patient alive without any lungs using artificial oxygen support. The patient, a 30-year-old man with cystic fibrosis, underwent a double-lung ...

6. Membrane oxygenator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_oxygenator

   The first membrane artificial lungs were composed of large flat sheets of thin silicone rubber used to separate blood and gas. Dr. Kolff recognized the need for a more compact lung design and constructed the first coiled lung design using polyethylene. However, these first designs were impractical due to high resistance and large priming volume.

7. Mechanical ventilation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_ventilation

   Mechanical ventilation or assisted ventilation is the medical term for using a ventilator machine to fully or partially provide artificial ventilation.Mechanical ventilation helps move air into and out of the lungs, with the main goal of helping the delivery of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide.
