Intraoperative implementation of the pumpless extracorporeal lung assist (pECLA) device. A, System configuration showing the major system components: vascular access by percutaneous femoral arterial and venous cannulation (arrows) and the membrane oxygenator. A continuous oxygen flow (12 L/min) is administered via a connected oxygen line (arrow) to remove total body CO2 production and to oxygenate the circulating blood. B, Intraoperative ventilation parameters (upper chart) displaying positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) management and artificial respiration frequency (RF) and pECLA arteriovenous shunt volume (AV shunt) (lower chart) during intraoperative bypass.
