Abstract Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality despite decades of progress in ventilatory support. Mechanical ventilation, while essential for oxygenation, may exacerbate lung..

Abstract Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO₂R) prevents intubation and facilitates extubation in patients with hypercapnic respiratory failure. However, low-flow systems increase shear stress and need full anticoagulation, increasing the risk..

Abstract Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS), including venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) is a temporary support option for patients with severe respiratory failure. Current..

Abstract Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) is increasingly used in clinical practice as a means of facilitating protective mechanical ventilation and reducing the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) in patients..
Read More
Abstract Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) is an emerging technique designed to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in venous blood while enabling lung-protective ventilation or alleviating the work of breathing...

Abstract OBJECTIVES: In patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF), the use of lower tidal volume ventilation facilitated by veno-venous extracorporeal CO2 removal (vv-ECCO2R) does not improve clinical outcomes. The primary..

Abstract The therapeutic target of extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) is the elimination of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the blood across a gas exchange membrane without influencing oxygenation to a clinically relevant..
