The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether any benefit of low frequency positive pressure ventilation with extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (LFPPV-ECCO(2)R) existed over either volume controlled ventilation (VCV) with measured best-PEEP or pressure regulated volume controlled ventilation (PRVCV) with an inspiration/expiration (I/E) ratio of 4:1, with respect to arterial oxygenation, lung mechanics and haemodynamics, in acute respiratory failure.
