Efficiency and Risks of CO2 Removal in Medical Procedures
This chapter explores the efficiency of CO2 removal compared to oxygenation in medical procedures, emphasizing the use of smaller cannulas and lower flows for higher CO2 removal efficiency. It discusses potential risks of overly efficient CO2 removal in ARDS patients and the importance of careful monitoring to prevent neurologic complications. The conversation also delves into technical details of CO2 removal devices, respiratory dialysis, and the Ventavoid study focusing on COPD and asthma patients.
