Changes in carbon dioxide pressure (pCO2), pH, mean arterial pressure (MAP), oxygen pressure to fraction of inspired oxygen (pO2/FiO2) ratio, and respiratory rate after implant of the pumpless extracorporeal lung assist device. a After implant (post) of the pumpless extracorporeal lung assist (pECLA) device, pCO2 was significantly reduced compared with before (pre)implant. b Simultaneously, pH increased significantly postimplant as compared with preimplant. The pO2/FiO2 ratio (c), MAP (d), and respiratory rate (e) remained unchanged before and after implant of the pECLA device.
