Fig. 2From: Dual titration of minute ventilation and sweep gas flow to control carbon dioxide variations in patients on venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenationChange in partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (PaCO2) in control and protocol groups. A Shows mean absolute change in PaCO2 calculated using the last pre-implantation arterial blood gas and all arterial blood gas samples drawn within the 12 h following implantation. B Shows the number of patients who experienced a change in PaCO2 > 25 mmHg, calculated using the last pre-implantation arterial blood gas (ABG) and the first post-implantation ABG by subtracting the pre-implantation PaCO2 from the post-implantation PaCO2 (in absolute value). *denotes a p value < 0.05Back to article page
