Intravascular nano-bubbling oxygenator

Abstract

The present invention provides a intravascular nano-bubbling oxygenator comprises a catheter, capable of being inserted into a blood vessel to transport normal pressure to hyperbaric gas, comprising: a tube wall with one or two lumens, and an opening end, wherein the tube wall partially comprises a plurality of pores; a connector; a gas transporting apparatus, and a control panel with on-line data sensors connections.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An intravascular nano-bubbling oxygenator, comprising:
 a catheter comprising a tube wall having a closed end and an opening end, and capable of being inserted into a blood vessel to transport gaseous oxygen, wherein said tube wall has a hydrophobic outer surface and comprises a plurality of nano-sized pores provided along said tube wall toward said closed end, which are provided with sizes ranging from 0.3 nanometer to 500 micrometer; and said catheter has a cross-section area less than three fourths (¾) of the cross-section area of said blood vessel, wherein said tube wall is arrange for guiding said gaseous oxygen to longitudinally flow from said opening end toward said closed end in order to transversely distribute said gaseous oxygen to produce oxygen bubbles through said nano-sized pores directly inside said blood vessel.   
     
     
         2 . The intravascular nano-bubbling oxygenator of  claim 1 , wherein said tube wall comprises biomaterial. 
     
     
         3 . The intravascular nano-bubbling oxygenator of  claim 1 , wherein a porous area of said tube wall is five (5)% to ninety-nine (99)% of said catheter being inserted into a blood vessel. 
     
     
         4 . The intravascular nano-bubbling oxygenator of  claim 1 , further including a connector provided at said opening end to input said gaseous oxygen into said catheter. 
     
     
         5 . The intravascular nano-bubbling oxygenator of  claim 7 , further including a gas transporting apparatus connected to said connector. 
     
     
         6 . The intravascular nano-bubbling oxygenator of  claim 5 , wherein said gas transporting apparatus comprises a flow adjustor, a pressure adjustor, and a thermo adjustor for range parameters. 
     
     
         7 . The intravascular nano-bubbling oxygenator of  claim 5 , further including a gaseous oxygen source connected to said gas transporting apparatus. 
     
     
         8 . The intravascular nano-bubbling oxygenator of  claim 7 , wherein said gaseous oxygen source comprises a pipe, a regulator, and a gaseous oxygen container. 
     
     
         9 . The intravascular nano-bubbling oxygenator of  claim 5 , further including a control panel connected to said gas transporting apparatus to control the inputting of said gaseous oxygen. 
     
     
         10 . The intravascular nano-bubbling oxygenator of  claim 9 , wherein said control panel controls transporting of said gaseous oxygen by a feedback of measuring a blood oxygen concentration, a vena caval pressure, a heart rate, and a temperature.
