Abstract:Refurbishing single use extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) oxygenators for in vitro research applications is common. However, the refurbishment protocols that are established in respective laboratories have never been evaluated. In the present study, we aim at proving the relevance of a well-designed refurbishing protocol by quantifying the burden of repeatedly reused oxygenators. We used the same three oxygenators in 5 days of 6 hours whole blood experiments. During each experiment day, the performanc… Show more
