The tests were done for a short period of time. Researcher Robert Bartlett next intends to repeat the tests for 30 day periods and hopes to try the first human tests in a year or two.

All the sheep with the artificial lung survived, while some on the ventilator alone died, Bartlett says.
Additionally, the sheep using the device had only minimal use for the ventilator, suggesting that it provided nearly 100 percent of their normal lung function, he says.
Importantly, there were no deleterious effects. The only problem was a sheep falling asleep and knocking it over, he says with a smile.

If you could, please post more information on the artificial lungs. Artificial lungs could save so many lives, all we got to do is create it. I've heard about how the it works. It would be an amazing thing if we knew we could live is we got lung cancer, bad case of pneumonia, bad case of aspiration pneumonia. So many people could be saved.
