Partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2/red line) and corresponding pH value (blue dotted line) depending on blood flow. 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
