title: [Experimental study on treatment of type II respiratory failure with membrane artificial lung of polypropylene hollow fibres].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the effect of membrane artificial lung of polypropylene hollow fibres on treatment of type II respiratory failure.
  
  
  METHODS
  Seven dogs with respiratory failure were randomly selected, arterial-venous bypass was set up. Domestic-made membrane artificial lung with polypropylene hollow fibres was installed to treat hypoxymia and hypercapnia in animals. Blood gas analyses were done at 30 min, 60 min and 90 minutes respectively.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The result showed that SO2 reached over 90%, PaO2 ascended from 7.6 +/- 1.3 to 13.6 +/- 1.8 kPa, PaCO2 descended from 11.6 +/- 0.6 to 7.2 +/- 0.5 kPa.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The authors recommand the new instrument was recommanded for treating type II respiratory failure.
