Summary

This trial will study the effects of different ventilator settings on patients with end-stage cardiac or respiratory failure who are receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) therapy. The goal is to determine the best ventilator settings to minimize Ventilator Induced Lung Injury (VILI) and reduce the risk of multi-organ failure.

Eligible Conditions
  • Heart Failure
  • Difficult Weaning
  • Breathing Failure
  • Critical Illness
  • Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
  • Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
  • Kidney Failure
  • Lung Disease

Timeline

Screening ~ 3 weeks
