Treatment of extreme premature infants (EPI) is limited by developmental immaturity primarily of the lung. A paradigm shift towards a more physiologic treatment of EPI as fetal neonates or , by keeping them in a womb-like environment to allow continued organ maturation, is the rationale for artificial womb technology. In this review, we discuss the artificial placenta and womb technology, it's rationale, the history of its development, the most recent preclinical models described in the literature and finally pertinent ethical considerations.
极早产儿(EPI)的治疗主要受肺部发育不成熟的限制。将EPI作为胎儿新生儿进行更符合生理的治疗,或者通过将他们置于类似子宫的环境中以使其器官持续成熟,这是人工子宫技术的基本原理。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了人工胎盘和子宫技术、其基本原理、发展历史、文献中描述的最新临床前模型,以及最后的相关伦理考量。
