  1. ECMO-BF, blood flow through the ECMO circuit; ECMO-Sweep, sweep gas flow through the ECMO circuit; IVM, invasive mechanical ventilation; NA, not applicable; NIV, non-invasive ventilation; PaCO2, arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure; PEEP, positive end-expiratory pressure; PC-peak, peak inspiratory pressure under pressure control ventilation; SB, spontaneous breathing; VC-plat, plateau pressure under volume control ventilation.
