Purpose To develop a mathematical model of oxygenation during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO). Material and methods Total oxygen consumption, cardiac output, blood flow, recirculation, intrapulmonary shunt, hemoglobin, natural lung, and membrane lung oxygen fractions were chosen as inputs. Content, partial pressure, and...

Rationale: We developed an innovative, minimally invasive, highly efficient extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R) technique called respiratory electrodialysis (R-ED). Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of R-ED in controlling ventilation compared with conventional ECCO2R technology. Methods: Five mechanically ventilated swine were connected to a...
