Summary

This study looks at how well the lungs work in adults who are on a heart-lung machine (VA-ECMO) and a breathing tube. Researchers will test a method to adjust the breathing machine settings using special imaging and pressure measurements. The goal is to find the best settings to improve oxygen flow and reduce lung strain. Ten stable patients will be observed to gather this information.
