An artificial lung having first and second oxygen blowing stages formed therein. The device comprises an outermost blood reservoir tube having top and bottom walls formed thereon, a plurality of oxygenation tubes disposed coaxially with the blood reservoir tube defining passages for blood therebetween, a first oxygen blowing stage formed under the oxygenation tubes for blowing oxygen gas into the blood introduced through an inlet for blood and a second or auxiliary oxygen blowing stage formed around the first oxygen blowing stage.

Artificial lung

An artificial lung provided with a built-in heat exchanger comprising an outer cylindrical member, an inner cylindrical member and an intermediate cylindrical member disposed between said outer and inner cylindrical members. A plurality of tubes are disposed within said inner cylindrical member through which a heat exchange medium is adapted to pass. The supply of oxygen to the blood is carried out within the inner cylindrical member while heat exchange is performed between the blood and the heat exchange medium.
