Fabricated artificial lungs and animal extracorporeal circuit diagrams: a) miniature artificial lung (fiber surface area = 0.1 m2); b) sheep veno-venous parallel extracorporeal circuit featuring miniature artificial lungs coated with one of four methods (uncoated control, graft-to DOPA-pCB, graft-from ARGET-ATRP, graft-to copolymer). Each device’s thromboresistance is tracked by measuring flow rate (Q) with flow probe and pressure drop (Pin – Pout) with pressure transducers to calculate resistance; c) micro artificial lung used for rabbit study (fiber surface area = 400 cm2); d) rabbit veno-venous extracorporeal circuit, with or without tip-to-tip pCB coating
