Article Title: Use of Double-Parallel Oxygenators for Hypercapnia During Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Case Report
doi: 10.7759/cureus.79757
Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of the double-lung system ECMO: extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, FiO 2 : a fraction of inspired oxygen, PIP: peak inspiratory pressure, PEEP: positive end-expiratory pressure, TV: tidal volume, PaCO 2 : partial pressure of carbon dioxide, PaO 2 : partial pressure of oxygen, EIT: electrical impedance tomography, Ptp: transpulmonary pressure
Article Snippet: V-V ECMO (Cardiohelp system, Maquet Getinge Cardiopulmonary AG, Rastatt, Germany) was established at a blood flow rate of 4.12 L/min and rotation speed of 3000 rpm, and the mechanical ventilator was set to a lung rest setting (FiO : 0.4, PEEP: 15 cmH 0, PIP: 20 cmH 0, and f: 5/min).
