Stopped: change in current practice in intensive care, few inclusions achievable
The extracorporeal CO2 removal (ECCO2R) has been recently proposed in case of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in order to reduce pulmonary injuries induced by the mechanical ventilation. A reducing of tidal volume and/or respiratory rate is thus expected using this extracorporeal respiratory support. However, most of existing devices of ECCO2R can apply only a limited extracorporeal flow, often less than 1L/min, which limits the CO2 exchanges and does not allow to reach an ultraprotective ventilation. An extracorporeal flow higher should logically maximalize CO2 removal and allow reducing intensity of mechanical ventilation. Works focused on high-flow ECCO2R (2-3 L/min) in setting of ARDS are therefore mandatory to better understand apprehend the phenomena of gazes changes with this device and confirm the added-value in management of these specific patients.
