The aim of this study is to assess the effect of a rigorous low breathing frequency and ultra-low tidal volume ventilation strategy on clinical outcome, compared to standard ventilator settings following the recent guidelines in patients with severe ARDS treated with ECMO. The hypothesis is that a low breathing frequency and ultra-low tidal volume ventilation strategy is more protective for the ARDS challenged lung and reduces the duration of mechanical ventilation and so increases the ventilator free days in patients with severe ARDS treated with ECMO.
