 About Artificial Lung
- Totally artificial lungs are not completely commercial.
- However, heart-lung machines are available in the market.
- The artificial lung device is connected to the heart‘s right ventricle. It relies on the heart—not a mechanical pump—to send blood through the lung, where it receives oxygen (and offloads carbon dioxide) as it flows through the arrays of microfibers or membrane oxygenators.
- Oxygen rich blood passes from the device into the left atrium and then to the rest of the body.
- The microfibers or the membrane oxy-generator are the technical textile component in the device.
- Globally there have been less than 300 lung transplants.
- Cadaver donation or donation from brain dead patients is still the main source of transplants.
- The artificial lung does not have a market in India as yet and the awareness is low. Also the clinical efficacy of this product is not proven yet.
