Descriptor oxigenadores de membrana
Entry term(s) oxigenador de membrana
Scope note: Dispositivos en los que la sangre y el oxígeno están separados por una membrana semipermeable, generalmente de teflón o de polipropileno, a través de la cual se produce el intercambio gaseoso. La membrana se puede disponer como una serie de placas paralelas o como un conjunto de tubos huecos; en esta última disposición, la sangre puede fluir al interior de las fibras, que están rodeadas por el gas, o fluir por el exterior de las fibras con el gas dentro de éstas.

Scope note: Devices in which blood and oxygen are separated by a semipermeable membrane, generally of Teflon or polypropylene, across which gas exchange occurs. The membrane may be arranged as a series of parallel plates or as a number of hollow fibers; in the latter arrangement, the blood may flow inside the fibers, which are surrounded by gas, or the blood may flow outside the fibers and the gas inside the fibers.
