Its not air lung. Its Hemolung ! Its going to be revolution in ICU !

Do you believe that we can work in ICU without ventilators?
ALung Technologies’ Hemolung overcomes many of the drawbacks of mechanical ventilation,by using dialysis to perform respiratory gas exchange in a process similar to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. During therapy, the patient can stay awake, allowing him to eat and communicate.
why scientists are averse to mechanical ventilation?
it has some serious drawbacks, including the need for sedation, the risk of ventilator associated pneumonia, and intubation or tracheostomy related complications.
How Hemolung works?
The Hemolung is a small, cylindrical, veno-venous extracorporeal CO2 removal device and It provides roughly 30% to 40% CO2 removal at blood flows in the range of 400 to 500 mL/min. which  translated into a CO2 removal of 66 mL/min. The Hemolung requires a prime volume of 300 mL and minimal heparinization.
 It is a ‘set it and forget it’–type device that is easy to use and operate.” 
Additional potential applications include use as a bridge prior to lung transplantation and as an intermittent therapy for ARDS and COPD.
What are the extra benefits over the mechanical ventilators?

Elimination of sedation allows the patient to stay alert, eat and communicate.

Elimination of ventilator associated pneumonia eliminates dangerous complications, and should reduce cost of care and length of stay in the ICU.

Avoidance of intubation allows the patient to eat, speak and prevents tracheal injury and sinus infection.

Reduction in weaning failure should reduce length of stay in the ICU and potential mortality.

Reduction in tracheostomies will reduce an invasive surgical procedure to the larynx.

Reduced lung injury may reduce the incidence of death.
