Carbon Dioxide Transfer Rates in Blood Oxygenators

Carbon Dioxide Transfer Rates in Blood Oxygenators 

As mentioned in Section 15.3.3, most CO2 in blood exists as HCO3 . In evaluating the CO2 desorption performance of blood oxygenators, we must always consider the simultaneous diffusion of HCOg , the rate of which is greater than that of physically dissolved COg. Experimental data on the rates of CO2 desorption
