Résumé
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is rapidly becoming a mainstream technology for lung or heart/lung support. Current ECMO devices mostly consist of a power-driven centrifugal pump and a dedicated oxygenator. We studied the safety and efficacy of a novel, fully pneumatically driven ECMO device, which could be used in both venovenous or venoarterial mode in an animal model. Six healthy, awake sheep were treated with the Mobybox ECMO device (Hemovent, Aachen, Germany) over a 7-day period in a venovenous mode. Gas exchange, coagulation parameters, and safety were assessed. Using a blood flow rate of 2 L/min and a low sweep gas flow rate of 0.3 L/min, the PCO The pneumatically driven ECMO device provided excellent safety and physiologic efficacy in a 7-day sheep experiment without visible clotting, hemolysis, or sustained reductions in fibrinogen or platelets.

BACKGROUND
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is rapidly becoming a mainstream technology for lung or heart/lung support. Current ECMO devices mostly consist of a power-driven centrifugal pump and a dedicated oxygenator. We studied the safety and efficacy of a novel, fully pneumatically driven ECMO device, which could be used in both venovenous or venoarterial mode in an animal model.
METHODS
Six healthy, awake sheep were treated with the Mobybox ECMO device (Hemovent, Aachen, Germany) over a 7-day period in a venovenous mode. Gas exchange, coagulation parameters, and safety were assessed.
RESULTS
Using a blood flow rate of 2 L/min and a low sweep gas flow rate of 0.3 L/min, the PCO
CONCLUSIONS
The pneumatically driven ECMO device provided excellent safety and physiologic efficacy in a 7-day sheep experiment without visible clotting, hemolysis, or sustained reductions in fibrinogen or platelets.
