Data on Respiratory Therapy Discussed by Researchers at Prince Charles Hospital (A Mock Circulation Loop To Evaluate Differential Hypoxemia During Peripheral Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation).

Researchers at Prince Charles Hospital in Brisbane, Australia have presented data on respiratory therapy. The research focuses on peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) and its impact on differential hypoxemia (DH). The researchers developed a mock circulation loop (MCL) to study DH and its effects on the brain and coronary arteries. The MCL was able to reproduce relevant mixing zones within the aortic arch, making it a potential alternative to animal studies for research scenarios. The research has been peer-reviewed and published in the journal Perfusion. [Extracted from the article]
