Summary
This study checks how well standard devices measure blood flow in 30 adults on ECMO, a machine that pumps and oxygenates blood outside the body. The goal is to see if these monitors give accurate readings during this special situation. Results could help doctors better manage fluids and medications for critically ill patients.
