Embodiment Construction

[0019] The invention may be understood by reference to the following detailed description of certain embodiments of the invention and specific examples thereof. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0020] Figure 1 shows a system 2 and its components, all elements used to interact with and provide basic life support for a newborn or fetus. In a preferred embodiment, the life support system 2 for newborns or fetuses can even support aborted fetuses with intact skulls. The system comprises a fluid container 4 which is at least partially filled with simulated amniotic fluid 6 which mimics the action of amniotic fluid in the uterus. Therefore, simulated amniotic fluid 6 has the same electrolyte, protein content, osmolality and temperature as natural amniotic fluid. The oxygenator 8 is arranged to continuously supplement the oxygen supply to the blood of the fetus or newborn....

Abstract

The present invention provides a life support system, related devices, and methods of use for the same. More particularly, the invention provides a support system for a neonate or fetus comprising a tank at least partially filled with simulated amniotic fluid, a dialysis system, an oxygenator, and a nutritional feeder.

Description

technical field [0001] In certain embodiments, the present invention relates to a life support system, related devices and systems, and methods of use of such devices and systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to a neonatal or fetal support system and related methods of use of such systems. Background technique [0002] Currently available neonatal support systems suffer from certain inherent deficiencies, including, but not limited to, that these systems are limited to use with viable neonates. Typically, currently available neonatal support systems provide oxygen exchange through normal or assisted respiration of the newborn. This requires the newborn's lungs to develop sufficiently to be able to exchange oxygen. [0003] Newborn babies can be born prematurely for a variety of reasons. Such causes may include twin pregnancy or various medical conditions such as trauma or infection of the pregnant woman or developing fetus, physical abnormalities, pre-...
