Extracorporeal oxygen delivery (\(\dot{V}\) O_2ML)/total oxygen consumption (\(\dot{V}\) O_2TOT) and extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (\(\dot{V}\) CO_2ML)/total carbon dioxide production (\(\dot{V}\) CO_2TOT) as a function of extracorporeal blood flow (BF) at steady state in an adult patient. \(\dot{V}\) O_2TOT = 250 mL/min and \(\dot{V}\) CO_2TOT 200 mL/min. Veno-venous extracorporeal oxygenation support (V-V ECMO), veno-venous extracorporeal CO₂ removal (V-V ECCO₂R)
