ATMOS: Extracorporeal Treatment for Emphysema

Emphysema is a type of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), an obstructive lung disease characterized by long term poor airflow. The main symptoms include shortness of breath and cough with sputum production and typically worsen over time to the point that walking up stairs or carrying things become difficult.
Causes of emphysema include mostly tobacco smoking with a number of other factors such as air pollution and genetics playing a smaller role in the developing world. Emphysema affects millions of people worldwide and is a major cause of death. There is no cure for emphysema and treatments are targeted at alleviating symptoms  by inhaled bronchodilators and steroids.
