Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

In a previous study, we combined a membrane oxygenator with phototherapy at 623 nm to produce a “mini” photo‐ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) device, which improved CO elimination and survival in CO‐poisoned rats. The objective of this study was to develop a larger photo‐ECMO device (“maxi” photo‐ ECMO) and to test its ability to remove CO from a porcine model of CO poisoning. The maxi photo‐ECMO device was able to fully oxygenate the blood after a single pass through the device. Compared to ventilation with 100% oxygen alone, illumination with red light together with 100% oxygen was twice as efficient in removing CO from blood. Changes in gas flow rates did not alter CO elimination in one pass through the device. Increases in irradiance up to 214 mW/cm 2 were associated with an increased rate of CO elimination. The photo‐ECMO device was effective over a range of blood flow rates and with higher blood flow rates, more CO was eliminated. A photo‐ECMO system composed of six photo‐ECMO devices removed CO faster from CO‐poisoned blood than a single photo‐ECMO device. In a CO‐poisoned pig, the photo‐ECMO system increased the rate of CO elimination without significantly increasing the animal's body temperature or causing hemodynamic instability. As a conclusion, we developed a photo‐ECMO system and demonstrated its ability to remove CO from CO‐poisoned 45‐kg pigs. Technical modifications of the photo‐ECMO system, including the development of a compact, portable device, will permit treatment of patients with CO poisoning at the scene of their poisoning, during transit to a local emergency room, and in hospitals that lack HBO facilities.
