Brief summary

Objective of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of CO2 removal by the multiECCO2R (CO2 Removal System) on the multiFiltrate/multiFiltrate Pro in veno-venous extracorporeal circulation during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in patients presenting with hypercapnia due to acute lung failure and acute kidney injury.
