Table 3 Changes in systemic arterial pH, pCO 2 , bicarbonate (HCO 3 ) from the beginning ( t = 0 hours), 4 hours ( t = 4 hours), and 24 hours ( t = 24 hours) after starting low-flow CO 2 removal

From: Low-flow CO2removal integrated into a renal-replacement circuit can reduce acidosis and decrease vasopressor requirements

  1. Deltas indicate differences between t = 0 and t = 4 hours. Patient 5 was switched to ECMO after 2.5 hours of treatment and was therefore excluded from calculation of means and deltas at t = 4 hours. at = 2.5 hours.
