Embodiment Construction
[0043] It is generally assumed that the patient's respiratory drive is primarily based on the CO2 content in the patient's blood, which in turn depends on the patient's alveolar ventilation and any extracorporeal removal of carbon dioxide from the patient's blood. Relying on this assumption, the present disclosure proposes the use of bioelectrical signals indicative of the patient's respiratory drive to control the operation of the ECLA device and thus the degree of extracorporeal removal of CO2 achieved by the ECLA device.
[0044] figure 1 A first exemplary embodiment of a system 1 for removing CO2 from the blood of a patient 3 is shown. System 1 is typically an intensive care system used to treat critically ill patients.
[0045] The system 1 includes a medical device 5, referred to herein as an extracorporeal lung assist (ECLA) device, for providing ECLA therapy to a patient 3 by performing extracorporeal removal of CO2 from the patient's blood. In some embodiments, the ...
