Document: The specific indications for the use of ECMO instead of, or in addition to, mechanical ventilation is beyond the scope of this paper. Our objective here is to attempt to determine the oxygen transfer characteristics of hollow fibre renal dialysis units with a view to using them to either replace or augment the work of mechanical ventilators in the face of the COVID-19 epidemic, in circumstances where ECMO is not available. If this were to prove feasible, it may o er a low-cost, rapidly scalable way of saving lives.
