Total acid load (CO2 + lactic acid) with different operational settings during ADVOS multi treatments. CO2 and lactic acid were supplied to maintain pCO2 and blood pH between 35–45 mmHg and 7.35–7.45, respectively. A supply of 1 mmol/l of CO2 corresponds to 22.5 ml/min in normal conditions. 1, p < 0.05 for CO2 removal between consecutive dialysate pH settings among the same blood flow; 2, p < 0.05 for CO2 removal between consecutive blood flows among the same dialysate pH setting.
