A mathematical model of CO2, O2 and N2 exchange during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Abstract Background Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) is an effective treatment for severe respiratory failure. The interaction between the cardiorespiratory system and the oxygenator can be explored with mathematical models. Understanding the physiology will help the clinicia...
