Full IRB Study Title:
ASCEND (ARDS in Children and ECMO initiation strategies impact on Neuro-Development)

This is a study to learn more about how children recover after their lungs are so sick they need the support of a lung machine called extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). This information will be used to improve the healthcare for children receiving ECMO support.
