Reduced Sevoflurane Loss during Cardiopulmonary Bypass when using a Polymethylpentane versus a Polypropylene Oxygenator

The results of this study show that using a polymethylpentane membrane oxygenator rather than a polypropylene oxygenator significantly reduces the losses of sevoflurane, resulting in higher plasma concentrations and greater depth of anesthesia.

Cerebral Aspects of Neonatal Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Review

Neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a lifesaving therapeutic approach in newborns suffering from severe, but potentially reversible, respiratory insufficiency, mostly complicated by neonatal persistent pulmonary hypertension.
