Bubble oxygenator
A bubble oxygenator is an early implementation of the oxygenator used for Cardiopulmonary bypass. It has since been supplanted by the membrane oxygenator[1] as a result of advances in material science. [2]
History
The bubble oxygenator was introduced in 1950 by Clark, Gollan, and Gupta.[3] By 1976 it was the predominant oxygenation method for open-heart surgery.[4]
