This paper presents a novel mechatronic setup intended for providingrespiratory support to patients suffering from pulmonary failure. The setuprelies upon the circulation of an oxygenated perfluorocarbon (PFC) through theabdominal cavity. Such circulation provides a potential pathway for thetransport of oxygen to the bloodstream. However, the viability of thistechnology for $CO_2$ clearance has not been established. Moreover, there is alack of experimental data enabling the modeling and identification of theunderlying dynamics of this technology. To address these gaps, we develop aflexible experimental perfusion setup capable of monitoring and controlling keyvariables such as perfusate flowrate, temperature, pressure, and oxygenation.The paper (i) briefly summarizes the design of this setup; (ii) highlights thedegree to which its data acquisition system enables the collection andcross-correlation of both perfusion-related and physiological variables; and(iii) discusses the development of flow, pressure, and temperature controlalgorithms for the setup. Experiments with large animals (swine) show that thesetup is capable of successfully controlling the perfusion process, as well asgathering extensive data to support subsequent modeling and identificationstudies.
