Description
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving mainstay in critical care medicine. Despite its crucial role, the engineering behind the design of these circuits remains limited and these devices have tremendous potential for bleeding and thrombosis. We are developing and testing multiple technologies that can improve ECMO. This project would involve design, haemostatic testing for haemocompatibility, and experimental fluid mechanics.
