DEVICE FOR THE EXTRA-CORPOREAL OXYGENATION OF BLOOD AND FOR CARDIOVASCULAR ASSISTANCE

摘要

Method and device for pumping and oxygenating blood circulated extra-corporeally in cardiovascular assistance. Pumping is of the pulsed-flow type and is carried out by regular variations of the pressure exercised by the oxygenating fluid on the blood-fluid interface, so that the pumping and oxygenating actions proceed simultaneously in a single apparatus.
