Extracorporeal oxygen and CO2 transfer of a polypropylene dimpled membrane lung with variable secondary flows: partial bypass in the dog.

In vivo gas transfer performance, during veno-venous bypass, is presented for one form of the Oxford membrane lung in which vortex mixing is induced in blood flow across a dimpled polypropylene membrane. Good agreement has been found with in vitro data presented in an earlier paper. Two experiments...
