METHOD 1, 2: FABRICATION OF SOU/ LAD AND IN VITRO GAS EXCHANGE EXPERIMENTAL
SETUPSOU Body: • Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)• Vascular network of micro
channels• Low volume of 0.14mL
• Collect blood samples pre- and post SOU for gas analysis flow rate: 0.5 – 4 mL/min
Gas Permeable Membrane: • Polycarbonate (PC),normal
PDMS, or porous PDMS• Surface area of 14.08cm2

INTRODUCTION• Respiratory failure still accounts for 5% of neonatal deaths.
Mechanical ventilation is associated with long term complications. Based on the natural in utero placenta, we propose a pump less lung assist device (LAD) with low priming volume, low resistance, and high gas exchange.

RESULTS 1: IN VITRO GAS EXCHANGE OF SOU
Postnatal: artificial placenta
• Porous PDMS was superior to PC, normal PDMS membranes by demonstrating a1.6x- 2.6x higher O2 and 1.2x- 2.4x higher CO2 exchange rate.
RESULT 2: IN VITRO GAS EXCHANGE OF LAD
• 1. In vitro: Optimize SOU, by testing gas exchange rates of
different membrane.2. In vitro: Evaluate gas exchange rates of LAD.3. In vivo: Assess feasibility of LAD in hypoxic piglet model.

• Achieved a maximum flow rate of 57mL/minute• No correlation is observed between flow rate and heart rate/
blood pressure, indicating that no additional stress is imposed on piglet by the LAD.
T=2 sec T=7 sec T=18 sec
• Bundle can successfully support 10% neonatal lung function.
• 20-30% of CO2 is successfully released, and with increasing flow rate results in improved CO2 removal.
Single Oxygenator Unit Lung Assist Device
Newborn piglet 3-4 hours old
• Successfully constructed a low volume LAD.• PDMS membranes was most effective for O2 and CO2
transfer.• In vitro experiments indicate that the LAD can potentially
provide support equivalent to 10% of neonatal lung function.• In vivo experiments indicate that flow rates through device
are tolerated by the cardiovascular system.• Future work: Assess gas exchange performance of LAD in
a hypoxic piglet model, improve biocompatibility, and develop special catheters to improve cannulation time.

• Porous PDMS have a 2x lower resistance than PC and 1.3x lower resistance than normal PDMS membrane.
