Abstract
PURPOSE A systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) on gas exchange and respiratory settings in critically ill adults with respiratory failure. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive database search, including observational studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from January 2000 to March 2022, targeting adult ICU patients undergoing ECCO2R. Primary outcomes were changes in gas exchange and ventilator settings 24 h after ECCO2R initiation, estimated as mean of differences, or proportions for adverse events (AEs); with subgroup analyses for disease indication and technology. Across RCTs, we assessed mortality, length of stay, ventilation days, and AEs as mean differences or odds ratios. RESULTS A total of 49 studies encompassing 1672 patients were included. ECCO2R was associated with a significant decrease in PaCO2, plateau pressure, and tidal volume and an increase in pH across all patient groups, at an overall 19% adverse event rate. In ARDS and lung transplant patients, the PaO2/FiO2 ratio increased significantly while ventilator settings were variable. "Higher extraction" systems reduced PaCO2 and respiratory rate more efficiently. The three available RCTs did not demonstrate an effect on mortality, but a significantly longer ICU and hospital stay associated with ECCO2R. CONCLUSIONS ECCO2R effectively reduces PaCO2 and acidosis allowing for less invasive ventilation. "Higher extraction" systems may be more efficient to achieve this goal. However, as RCTs have not shown a mortality benefit but increase AEs, ECCO2R's effects on clinical outcome remain unclear. Future studies should target patient groups that may benefit from ECCO2R. PROSPERO Registration No: CRD 42020154110 (on January 24, 2021).

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this retrospective study, we report the effectiveness and safety of a dedicated extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) device in critically ill patients. METHODS Adult patients on mechanical ventilation due to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or decompensated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (dCOPD), who were treated with a dedicated ECCO2R device (CO2RESET, Eurosets, Medolla, Italy) in case of hypercapnic acidemia, were included. Repeated measurements of CO2 removal (VCO2) at baseline and 1, 12, and 24 h after the initiation of therapy were recorded. RESULTS Over a three-year period, 11 patients received ECCO2R (median age 60 [43-72] years) 3 (2-39) days after ICU admission; nine patients had ARDS and two had dCOPD. Median baseline pH and PaCO2 levels were 7.27 (7.12-7.33) and 65 (50-84) mmHg, respectively. With a median ECCO2R blood flow of 800 (500-800) mL/min and maximum gas flow of 6 (2-14) L/min, the VCO2 at 12 h after ECCO2R initiation was 157 (58-183) mL/min. Tidal volume, respiratory rate, and driving pressure were significantly reduced over time. Few side effects were reported. CONCLUSIONS In this study, a dedicated ECCO2R device provided a high VCO2 with a favorable risk profile.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although there has been extensive research on mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), treatment remains mainly supportive. Recent studies and new ventilatory modes have been proposed to manage patients with ARDS; however, the clinical impact of these strategies remains uncertain and not clearly supported by guidelines. The aim of this narrative review is to provide an overview and update on ventilatory management for patients with ARDS. AREAS COVERED This article reviews the literature regarding mechanical ventilation in ARDS. A comprehensive overview of the principal settings for the ventilator parameters involved is provided as well as a report on the differences between controlled and assisted ventilation. Additionally, new modes of assisted ventilation are presented and discussed. The evidence concerning rescue strategies, including recruitment maneuvers and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support, is analyzed. PubMed, EBSCO, and the Cochrane Library were searched up until June 2023, for relevant literature. EXPERT OPINION Available evidence for mechanical ventilation in cases of ARDS suggests the use of a personalized mechanical ventilation strategy. Although promising, new modes of assisted mechanical ventilation are still under investigation and guidelines do not recommend rescue strategies as the standard of care. Further research on this topic is required.

Abstract
Purpose:To assess the safety and efficacy of extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R)versusstandard care in patients with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure (AHRF).Methods:MEDLINE, Embase and clinical trial registries were searched from 1994 to 31 December 2021. We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies. Pairs of reviewers independently extracted data and assessed the risk of bias. The primary outcome was mortality. Secondary outcomes included ventilator-free days, length of stay, safety and adverse events and physiological changes. As a primary analysis, we performed a meta-analysis of mortality until day 30 using a Bayesian random effects model. We then performed a trial sequential analysis of RCTs.Results:21 studies met inclusion criteria: three RCTs, enrolling 531 patients, and 18 observational studies. In a pooled analysis of RCTs, the posterior probability of increased mortality with the use of ECCO2R was 73% (relative risk 1.19, 95% credible interval 0.70–2.29). There was substantial heterogeneity in the reporting of safety and adverse events. However, the incidence of extra and intracranial haemorrhage was higher (relative risk 3.00, 95% credible interval 0.41–20.51) among those randomised to ECCO2R. Current trials have accumulated 80.8% of the diversity-adjusted required information size and the lack of effect reaches futility for a 10% absolute risk reduction in mortality.Conclusions:The use of ECCO2R in patients with AHRF is not associated with improvements in clinical outcomes. Furthermore, it is likely that further trials of ECCO2R aiming to achieve an absolute risk reduction in mortality of ≥10% are futile.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides pulmonary and/or cardiac support for critically ill patients. Due to their diseases, they are at high risk of developing acute kidney injury. In that case, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is applied to provide renal support and fluid management. The ECMO and CRRT circuits can be combined by an integrated or parallel approach. So far, all methods used for combined extracorporeal lung and kidney support present serious drawbacks. This includes not only high risks of circuit related complications such as bleeding, thrombus formation, and hemolysis, but also increase in technical workload and health care costs. In this sense, the development of a novel optimized artificial lung device with integrated renal support could offer important treatment benefits. Therefore, we conducted a review to provide technical background on existing techniques for extracorporeal lung and kidney support and give insight on important aspects to be addressed in the development of this novel highly integrated artificial lung device.

Abstract
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation and protective mechanical ventilation of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients induce hypercapnic respiratory acidosis. Main text Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) aims to eliminate blood CO2 to fight against the adverse effects of hypercapnia and related acidosis. Hypercapnia has deleterious extrapulmonary consequences, particularly for the brain. In addition, in the lung, hypercapnia leads to: lower pH, pulmonary vasoconstriction, increases in right ventricular afterload, acute cor pulmonale. Moreover, hypercapnic acidosis may further damage the lungs by increasing both nitric oxide production and inflammation and altering alveolar epithelial cells. During an exacerbation of COPD, relieving the native lungs of at least a portion of the CO2 could potentially reduce the patient's respiratory work, Instead of mechanically increasing alveolar ventilation with MV in an already hyperinflated lung to increase CO2 removal, the use of ECCO2R may allow a decrease in respiratory volume and respiratory rate, resulting in improvement of lung mechanic. Thus, the use of ECCO2R may prevent noninvasive ventilation failure and allow intubated patients to be weaned off mechanical ventilation. In ARDS patients, ECCO2R may be used to promote an ultraprotective ventilation in allowing to lower tidal volume, plateau (Pplat) and driving pressures, parameters that have identified as a major risk factors for mortality. However, although ECCO2R appears to be effective in improving gas exchange and possibly in reducing the rate of endotracheal intubation and allowing more protective ventilation, its use may have pulmonary and hemodynamic consequences and may be associated with complications. Conclusion In selected patients, ECCO2R may be a promising adjunctive therapeutic strategy for the management of patients with severe COPD exacerbation and for the establishment of protective or ultraprotective ventilation in patients with ARDS without prognosis-threatening hypoxemia.

Abstract
Continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) has improved remarkably since its first implementation as continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration in the 1970s. However, when looking at the latest generation of CKRT machines, one could argue that clinical deployment of breakthrough innovations by device manufacturers has slowed in the last decade. Simultaneously, there has been a steady accumulation of clinical knowledge using CKRT as well as a multitude of therapeutic and diagnostic innovations in the dialysis and broader intensive care unit technology fields adaptable to CKRT. These include multiple different anticlotting measures; cloud-computing for optimized treatment prescribing and delivered therapy data collection and analysis; novel blood purification techniques aimed at improving the severe multiorgan dysfunction syndrome; and real-time sensing of blood and/or filter effluent composition. The authors present a view of how CKRT devices and programs could be reimagined incorporating these innovations to achieve specific measurable clinical outcomes with personalized care and improved simplicity, safety, and efficacy of CKRT therapy.

Abstract
This report presents a case of endotracheal metastasis in which elective veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) was used to undergo tracheal laser-surgery prior to establishment of a definitive airway. Specifically, we describe the respiratory and airway management in an adult patient from the preclinical phase throughout elective preoperative ECMO implantation to postoperative ECMO weaning and decannulation in the Intensive Care Unit. This case report lends further supports to the idea that the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation could be electively used to provide safe environment for surgery in situations where the standard maneuvers of sustaining adequate gas exchange are anticipated to fail.
