Impact of membrane lung surface area and blood flow on extracorporeal CO2 removal during severe respiratory acidosis
Abstract Background Veno-venous extracorporeal CO2 removal (vv-ECCO2R) is increasingly being used in the setting of acute respiratory failure. Blood flow rates through the device range from 200 ml/min to more than 1500 ml/min, and the membrane surface areas range from 0.35 to 1.3 m2. The present stu...
