Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A reusable tubular membrane oxygenator is described for hypotraumatic hemoperfusion of isolated organs in physiological studies. The constructed oxygenator was of approximately 0.24-m2 effective surface area and contained 450 silicone rubber capillaries of 0.51-mm nominal ID, 34.9 cm long, fixed by conical-shaped, plastic blood headers at manifolds made from Dow-Corning MDX-4-4210 silicone elastomer. During ex vivo hemoperfusions in dogs at inlet hemoglobin saturations near 67%, oxygen transfer rates of the oxygenator increased serially, from 16.6 +/- 1.7 ml/min per m2 (mean +/- SD) at blood flows of 100 ml/min to 34.1 +/- 3.8 ml/min per m2 at flows of 500 ml/min. The oxygenator was thromboresistant and of much loss priming blood volume and wall compliance than the nonresuable Travenol membrane oxygenator of 0.26-m2 effective surface area. The tubular oxygenator was easily cleaned and reassembled, with reproducible oxygen transfer rates. It should prove useful for hemoperfusion studies in organs of moderate size, such as the isolated canine kidney, stomach, and pancreas.
