Fig. 3From: A mock circulation loop to test extracorporeal CO2 elimination setupsHemoglobin concentration and CO2 removal. Hemoglobin concentrations were set to 12, 7, and 4 g/dL. A blood flow of 0.6 L/min and O2 sweep gas flows (\( {\dot{V}}_{\mathrm{Sweep}} \)) of 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7 L/min were used in the test circuit. CO2 removal rate was higher for high hemoglobin concentrations (p < 0.001)Back to article page
