SUPERNOVA: A Strategy of UltraProtective lung ventilation  With Extracorporeal CO2 Removal for New-Onset moderate to seVere ARDS

Q&A

 

Study objectives

Extracorporeal CO2(ECCO2R) removal devices (PALP, MAQUET; ILA-active, NOVALUNG; Hemolung, ALung) allowVT and plateau pressure reduction in patients with moderate ARDS. This study aimed to assess changes in pH/ PaO2 /PaCO2, Respiratory Rate and device CO2 clearance in the first 24 hours of ECCO2R following VT and plateau pressure reduction in patients with moderate ARDS. Safety variables during treatment were also analysed.
