  1. Artificial Lung Edwin Sam

  2. Robert Bartlett, MD • Surgeon at University of Michigan Medical Center • Developed of ECMO • Treated first infant in 1975 • 26 research grants including $5 Million from Michigan Critical Care Consultants (MCCC)

  3. What is it? • A.K.A Bio-Lung • Interval between lung transplant • Improvement from ECMO

  4. BY THE NUMBERS • Over 130 million Americans have lung disease • Last year, 1054 people received lung transplants • 150,000 Americans experience lung failure every year • 1/3 of those patients die waiting for a lung donor

  5. Then and Now

  6. What They Do ECMO BIO-LUNG Blood never leaves the body Oxygen exchange in plastic fibers for gas molecules Own heart pumps blood through device Implanted into body • Pumps blood and exchange of oxygen outside the body • Not a long term device • Takes over functions of lungs and heart • Outside of the body • Mainly immobile

  7. Lung • Fibers on artificial lung filter oxygen • Sends blood back to the heart • Then pumped to the rest of the body • Size of a soda can • Implanted into chest • Lasts about 5 years
