Topic overview
: For children with end-stage lung disease that cannot wean from extracorporeal life support (ECLS), a wearable artificial lung would permit extubation and provide a bridge to recovery or transplantation. We evaluate the function of the novel Pediatric MLung—a low-resistance, pumpless artificial lung developed specifically for children—in healthy animal subjects.
