Abstrakt: | A laptop-driven, benchtop control system that automatically adjusts carbon dioxide (CO2) removal in artificial lungs (ALs) is described. The proportional-integral-derivative (PID) feedback controller modulates pump-driven air sweep gas flow through an AL to achieve a desired exhaust gas CO2 partial pressure (EGCO2). When EGCO2 increases, the servoregulator automatically and rapidly increases sweep flow to remove more CO2. If EGCO2 decreases, the sweep flow decreases to reduce CO2 removal. System operation was tested for 6 hours in vitro using bovine blood and in vivo in three proof-of-concept sheep experiments. In all studies, the controller automatically adjusted the sweep gas flow to rapidly (<1 minute) meet the specified EGCO2 level when challenged with changes in inlet blood or target EGCO2 levels. CO2 removal increased or decreased as a function of arterial pCO2 (PaCO2). Such a system may serve as a controller in wearable AL systems that allow for large changes in patient activity or disease status.
