| has gloss | eng: An artificial lung is a prosthetic device that is implanted into the body to replace the biological lung(s). It is different from a heart-lung machine in that it is internal and designed to take over the functions of the lungs for long periods of time rather than on a temporary basis. Recent developments include a device that uses small hollow fibers and the heart's own pumping power to oxygenate blood. References |
