Toward Respiratory Support of Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients Using Repurposed Kidney Hollow Fiber Membrane Dialysers to Oxygenate the Blood

Table 1

Theoretical calculated maximum oxygen uptake per 500 ml of blood and required k₀A for specified inlet conditions where the outlet is near saturation with pO₂ of 95 mm Hg.

Inlet pO2 (mm Hg) (HbSat)	Max O2 uptake (mg/500 ml blood)	k0 A (mg·min^−1·kPa^−1)
45 (76%)	35.7	0.389
25 (45%)	73.4	0.787
