Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, a gas exchange performance management support system for the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was developed. As for the hardware, we built a system that is made by tablet PC and high precision pressure unit that is a low cost and compact yet that has a high user ability. As for the software, gas exchange performance deterioration detection program and a gas insufflation pressure upper limit warning programs were created. Due to a monitoring of a gas insufflation pressure, it was suggested that the oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood can be estimated indirectly. Furthermore, since it was possible to detect a two occurrence histories of incident, the usefulness of the risk analysis was recognized.
