Abstract Purpose of review Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) provides gas exchange for patients with advanced respiratory failure who cannot maintain adequate oxygenation or carbon dioxide (CO2) clearance through conventional..
Read MoreAbstract Recently, advancements in extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) technology have markedly enhanced its clinical applicability and efficacy for managing severe respiratory conditions. This review highlights critical innovations in ECCO2R,..
Read MoreAbstract Rationale: It is unclear whether extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R) can reduce the rate of intubation or the total time on invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in adults experiencing an exacerbation of chronic..
Read MoreAbstract Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute kidney injury (AKI) treated by kidney replacement therapy may also require treatment with extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) devices to permit..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) is a low blood flow veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation technique that provides artificial blood CO2 removal. Recently, a new ECCO2R system (PrismaLung), providing very low..
Read MoreAbstract We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 11 patients supported with a veno-venous low-flow extracorporeal carbon dioxide (CO2) removal (ECCO2R) device featuring a large gas exchange surface membrane lung..
