Low-flow ECCO2R for ICU patients with respiratory failure: safety and outcomes

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a retrospective chart review of adult patients treated with low-flow extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) at Queen Mary Hospital between January 1, 2022 and June 30, 2024. The team will describe which patients were selected for ECCO2R, specific technical and clinical management choices, and short-term clinical outcomes and adverse events. Data will be drawn from routinely collected ICU records to characterize practice patterns and complications associated with low-flow systems. The goal is to identify factors that could improve the quality and safety of ECCO2R use in critically ill patients.
