ADVOS is the world’s first method for the combined multi-organ support of liver, lung, kidney, and acid-base balance. Based on the principle of albumin dialysis, ADVOS allows extracorporeal fluid-based elimination of CO2, hepatic toxins, water-soluble and protein-bound nephrotoxins, as well as the correction of metabolic and respiratory acidosis. The ADVOS method works with typical dialysis accesses and flow rates and does not require any gas exchangers for CO2 elimination.
