Key result
The QuadroxD oxygenator was successfully used in 23 ECMO patients weighing 2.16 to 51.0 kg for up to 1119 hours without plasma leakage necessitating circuit changeover.
Why the study?
Does the QuadroxD oxygenator improve ECMO circuit durability and prevent plasma leakage in patients requiring ECMO support?

Does the QuadroxD oxygenator improve ECMO circuit durability and prevent plasma leakage in patients requiring ECMO support?
The QuadroxD oxygenator provides a durable, low-resistance ECMO circuit without plasma leakage for patients of varying sizes, allowing for a standardized, readily available setup.
Horton et al. (2004) conducted an observational in Failing ventilation or needing cardiopulmonary support following cardiac surgery (n=211). QuadroxD oxygenator vs. Avecor spiral wound silicone-membrane oxygenator and older microporous hollow-fibre oxygenators was evaluated. The QuadroxD oxygenator was successfully used in 23 ECMO patients weighing 2.16 to 51.0 kg for up to 1119 hours without plasma leakage necessitating circuit changeover.
