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

Table 4

Oxygen transfer rates (VO₂) into blood for each of the three runs in ml·min⁻¹. Also shown are the rounded percentages of the nominal oxygen consumption rates (VO_2,n) for a typical adult of 250 ml·min⁻¹ and the maximum oxygen transfer rates (VO_2,max) calculated at the prevailing Hb for 100% HbSat at the outlet.

	VO2 (ml·min^−1)	%VO2,n	%VO2,max
Run 1 (21N)	38.80 ± 0.03	16	91
Run 2 (21N)	29.70 ± 0.02	12	75
Run 3 (18N)	36.20 ± 0.03	15	85
