Description
Bernhard Nagler and Thomas Staudinger reply in a 2026 letter to comments on their study of blood pressure drugs after lung support with a membrane oxygen machine. Their original work covered patients with severe breathing failure placed on venovenous ECMO. Commenters from Labanca and others had raised points about how blood flow recovery unfolds.
The authors welcome the added views and note agreement that fixing acid build-up in the blood is a key driver of steady blood flow. They explain that gains from carbon dioxide removal may appear within hours, but heavy sedation and fluids around tube placement can blur early signals. Their methods tried to allow for those effects within a backward looking design.
