Kidney machine tweaks may boost CO2 scrub in lung failure patients

This study looked at how different settings on a kidney support machine (CRRT) affect the ability of a lung support machine (ECCO2R) to remove carbon dioxide from the blood of 10 adults with respiratory failure. Researchers tested two methods to see which one helps the lung machine work better. The goal was to learn how to improve treatment for people whose lungs cannot clear CO2 on their own.
