Fig. 2

Normalized extracorporeal elimination of carbon dioxide (CO2) depending on blood flow. Normalized CO2 removal was calculated by normalizing the partial pressure of carbon dioxide before the membrane lung to 45 mmHg. Membrane lung surface ranges from 0.4 m2 (a), 0.8 m2 (b), 1.0 m2 (c) to 1.3 m2 (d) with a sweep gas flow of 8 L O2/min. Blood flow was titrated from 250 to 1000 ml/min. Each data point represents the mean and standard deviation of seven pigs
