abstract：:Coil-type silicone membrane oxygenators can only be used with roller blood pumps due to the resistance from the high blood flow. Therefore, during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment, the combination of a roller pump and an oxygenator with a high blood flow resistance will induce severe hemolysis, whi...
