<p>This artificial lung includes: a housing; a hollow fiber membrane layer that is housed inside the housing and in which a multitude of hollow fiber membranes having a gas exchange function are integrated; a gas inflow section and a gas outflow section that employ the lumen of each hollow fiber membrane as a gas flow path and that are provided respectively on the upstream side and the downstream side of the gas flow paths; a blood inflow section and a blood outflow section that employ the outside of the hollow fiber membranes as a blood flow path and that are provided respectively on the upstream side and the downstream side of the blood flow path; a first filter member that is provided in contact with the surface of the hollow fiber membrane layer on the side of the blood outflow section and covers almost the entire surface, the first filter member having the function of capturing bubbles in the blood; and a second filter member spaced away from the first filter member and arranged between the first filter member and the blood outflow section, the second filter member having the function of capturing bubbles in the blood.</p> |
