[Use of a membrane oxygenator for correcting acute, experimental respiratory insufficiency].
A model of acute respiratory insufficiency ARI was created in the experiments on 16 dogs by means of a valvular device furnishing a free inhalation and a limited expiration. The diaphragmatic oxigenator devised in VNIIP with an armoured diaphragm of "Sigma"--type was switched on at the height of ARI. 3 hours' perfusion corrected successfully the manifestation of hypercapnic hypoxia. The pulmonary function restored after the experiment.
