Physiology of extracorporeal CO2 removal

Abstract Extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R) was introduced in 1977 to control arterial CO2 tension and reduce ven- tilation, thus allowing lung rest in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF). Its..

What Determines the Arterial Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide on Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation?

Abstract Rapid reductions in PaCO2 during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are associated with poor neurologic outcomes. Understanding what factors determine PaCO2 may allow a gradual reduction, potentially improving neurologic outcome. A simple..
