Summary
This study is testing whether a heart-lung machine (ECMO) can be used safely without blood thinners in adults with severe lung failure. About 40 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either standard care with blood thinners or no blood thinners. The goal is to see if avoiding blood thinners reduces bleeding risks while still preventing clots in the machine.
