Schematic of the connection of the continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) device and the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuit. a. The CRRT circuit is connected into the ECMO circuit through the Luer Lock connection without additional pressure control lines, The two circuits are directly connected by configuring the inlet (access) line of the CRRT device to the post-pump ECMO circuit and the outlet (return) line of the CRRT device to the pre-pump ECMO circuit. b. An additional pressure control line is added on the inlet line of the CRRT circuit. c. Additional pressure control lines are added on both the inlet and the outlet lines of the CRRT circuit
