Increased Longevity of a Novel Gas Exchanger System for Low-Flow Veno-Venous Extracorporeal CO < sub > 2 < /sub > Removal in Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure

Conclusion: Using a high-longevity gas exchanger system, membrane lifetime in low-flow ECCO2R could be extended in comparison to previous systems but remained below 120 h, especially in spontaneously breathing patients. Extracorporeal VCO2 remained constant throughout gas exchanger system runtime and was consistent with removal of approximately 50% of expected CO2 production, enabling lung protective ventilation despite hypercapnic respiratory failure.Blood Purif
