Mortality and the magnitude of arterial carbon dioxide (paCO2) decrement caused by the initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. The percent mortality for delta-paCO2 greater than and less than 25 mmHg is shown, demonstrating a significant increase in mortality with the greatest paCO2 change, p = .02. Delta-paCO2 = (last paCO2 pre-ECMO — first paCO2 post-ECMO initiation).
