In layment terms... Vent is the machine that helps your lungs breath when you cant breath on your own. ECMO is the next stage when your lungs still can't produce enough oxygen in the blood even with the vent, so they pump your blood out of your body, add oxygen, and pump it back in. I'm sure a doc will correct my sloppy interpretation, but that's my basic understanding.
