IGNITE Trial 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
  • Critical Illness
  • Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
  • Heart Failure
  • Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
  • Respiratory Failure
  • Kidney Failure
  • Lung Disease
