An artificial lung (AL) is an artificial organ that provides oxygenation of blood and removal of carbon dioxide from the blood. The AL is intended to take over some of the functionality of biological lungs .

The device used is a membrane oxygenator, also known as an artificial lung. ECMO works by temporarily drawing blood from the body to allow artificial oxygenation of the red blood cells and removal of carbon dioxide. Generally, it is used either post-cardiopulmonary bypass or in late-stage treatment of a person with profound heart and/or lung ...
A MAQUET hollow fiber membrane oxygenator. A membrane oxygenator is a device used to add oxygen to, and remove carbon dioxide from the blood.It can be used in two principal modes: to imitate the function of the lungs in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and to oxygenate blood in longer term life support, termed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
1. (medical) Ventilation in which the surface of the thorax is exposed to pressure below the ambient pressure during inspiration. Used as a method of artificial respiration (iron lung). [45] 2. (diving) Breathing where the pressure of the breathing gas at the mouth is lower than the ambient pressure at the thorax.
Artificial ventilation or respiration is when a machine assists in a metabolic process to exchange gases in the body by pulmonary ventilation, external respiration, and internal respiration. [1] A machine called a ventilator provides the person air manually by moving air in and out of the lungs when an individual is unable to breathe on their own.
Pumactant (Artificial Lung Expanding Compound or ALEC) – a mixture of DPPC and PG; Lucinactant (KL4, trade name Surfaxin) – composed of DPPC, palmitoyl-oleoyl phosphatidylglycerol, and palmitic acid, combined with a 21 amino acid synthetic peptide (sinapultide) that mimics the C-terminal helical domain of SP-B.
