mechanical/artificial ventilation of the lungs Explanation: "Mechanical ventilation of the lungs, the most commonly used therapy for such patients, is akin to asking someone to “exercise a broken arm,” says Jeff Borenstein, who leads the microfluidic lung project at Draper. The invasive therapy involves forcing high concentrations of oxygen into the lungs at high pressures, and does not allow the diseased or damaged tissue to heal, he says. Even worse, it commonly leads to serious complications including lung tissue toxicity and pneumonia." Reference: http://www.technologyreview.com/news/537911/new-device-could... |
