Abstract
This project is dedicated to the development of a hollow fiber artificial lung specifically sized and optimized to offer CO2 ventilation support for adults, including U.S. veterans, grappling with COPD and other chronic or acute respiratory conditions. Named the CO2 Removal Artificial Lung (CORAL), this portable device is specifically designed to operate without the need for an external blood pump. Catering to the needs of U.S. veterans and others facing respiratory challenges, CORAL aims to be a compact and effective solution. By prioritizing portability and efficiency, CORAL seeks to enhance the quality of life for individuals, especially U.S. veterans, dealing with respiratory issues. This advancement represents a significant step forward in providing an efficient and accessible means of CO2 removal without the constraints associated with external blood pump dependency.
