Figure 2.

Evolution of the mechanical respiratory parameters under venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in deceased patients (red line) and in patients who were discharged alive from intensive care unit (blue line). Time was standardized for every patient, to have comparable x-axis graphical representation, with the first and last point representing the first and last value under extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, respectively. (A) Compliance of the respiratory system. (B) Plateau pressure. (C) Arterial partial pressure of oxygen/inspired fraction of oxygen (PaO₂/FiO₂) ratio. (D) arterial partial carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO₂).
