OVERVIEWOVERVIEW

How we can breath How we can breath ??
The process of breathing consider to be a gas exchange a gas exchange by two parts:
1 )Respiratory systemRespiratory system ( O2 from atmosphere to lungs , CO2 from lungs to atmosphere )
2 )Blood system Blood system ( O2 from lungs to cells , CO2 from cells to lungs)

IntroductionIntroduction
Artificial lungs Artificial lungs : are medical devices designed to take over the respiratory function of the lung, which is to oxygenate the blood and remove carbon dioxide
Current artificial lungs are also known as blood blood oxygenatorsoxygenators

Each year nearly 350,000350,000 Americans die of some form of lung disease.
Artificial lungs Artificial lungs are used for :1)open-heart surgical procedures2)treating respiratory insufficiencies or failures.

ComparisonComparison of gas exchange parameters of the natural lung natural lung and current artificial lungs artificial lungs or blood oxygenators.
The O2O2 and CO2CO2 diffusing capacities of the lungs are proportional to the gas exchange area of the alveolar-capillary membrane and to the inverse of the diffusion distance across the alveolar-capillary membrane into blood.

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF OPERATIONBASIC PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Hollow fiber Hollow fiber membranes form the basic gas exchange units of contemporary artificial lungs (usually made of often polypropylene) and are small polymer tubes with microporous walls of 20 to 50 µm thickness and with outer diameters from 200 to 400 µm.

Determinants of Gas ExchangeDeterminants of Gas Exchange
The overall O2 exchange rate :
The gas exchange permeance for CO2 removal:
The overall transfer resistance in an artificial lung :

Where :
where: αp : the solubility of the gas within the nonporous polymer Dp: diffusivity of the gas within the nonporous polymer
δ : the polymer layer thicknessPm : the polymer permeability to specific gases
Where : αp and Db are the effective solubility and diffusion coefficient of the
diffusing gas in blood δ bl : is an average boundary layer thickness

Mass Transfer CorrelationsMass Transfer Correlations
Classical diffusional boundary layer on a flat surface.
The blood-side permeability, Kb, for artificial lungs can be estimated from mass transfer correlations obtained for flow through bundles of hollow fiber membranes. Convectivemass transfer correlations have the general form

THE BLOOD OXYGENATORTHE BLOOD OXYGENATOR
The key design considerations in blood oxygenators include: 1) minimizing the resistance to blood flow, 2)reducing the priming volume,3) ensuring easy debubbling at setup, 4)and minimizing blood activation and thrombogenicity.

ExampleExample
If membrane permeance dictated overall gas exchange, an artificial lung with 2 m2 membrane area perfused with blood at a PCO2 of 50 mm Hg and a diffusion coefficient of 1*10-2 ml/cm2/s/cm Hg Determine the gas exchange
rate for CO2 removal ?
SolutionSolution
= (1*10-2) ml/cm2/s/cm Hg * 2 m2 * 50 mmHg * ( 1cm / 10 mm) * ( 10000 cm / 1m ) * ( 1 lit / 1000 ml ) * ( 60 s/ 1 min ) = 60 lit/min 60 lit/min

SUMMARYSUMMARY
The natural lung natural lung represents a remarkable organ for gas exchange, and developing an artificial lung artificial lung that approaches the gas exchange prowess of the natural lung is a significant engineering challenge.engineering challenge.
Several research efforts are underway on the development of next-generation artificial lungs artificial lungs designed specifically for respiratory support of the failing lung.
