Stable Carbonic Anhydrase Hollow Fiber Membrane Coating Used in Conjunction with Dilute SO_2 Acidic Sweep Gas Increases Efficiency in Low Flow CO_2 Removal Devices

摘要

SO_2 sweep gas and CA-HFMs increase CO_2 removal in model ECCO_2R devices, lending to the promise of commercial low flow, low surface area and lung preventative (less invasive and critical) ventilation. Further work will investigate the safety of blood sulfites and methods to mitigate toxicity.
