Study drug levels in children on ECMO
Treatments studied
This study measures how sedating and pain medicines move through the body in children who are supported by ECMO (a heart-lung machine). It may help doctors choose safer and more effective dosing for sedation and pain control during ECMO.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently supported on ECMO.
- You are receiving sedation and/or pain medicine through an ECMO-supported care plan.
- You receive one or more of these drugs: dexmedetomidine, fentanyl, midazolam, or morphine.
- This study has no listed exclusion criteria.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether using one sleep medicine (propofol) alone works as well as using it with another medicine (dexmedetomidine) for children getting an MRI. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to help kids stay still during the scan.
This study tests a standard set of rules for giving pain and sedation medications to adults on ECMO. The aim is to see if these guidelines are practical and help improve care.
This study tests a drug called dexmedetomidine to help sedate children who need a breathing machine for more than 12 hours. It may reduce confusion (delirium) compared to usual sedatives.
This study looks at whether dexmedetomidine changes the minimum amount of sevoflurane (an inhaled anesthesia medicine) needed during surgery in young children. It may help doctors choose safer, more accurate anesthesia dosing for kids undergoing surgery.
This study tests a combination of two medicines (dexmedetomidine and esketamine) to help ICU patients who are on a breathing machine feel calm and have less pain. The goal is to find a safe and effective way to keep patients comfortable while they recover.
This study looks at how anti-infection drugs work in critically ill patients who are on ECMO, a machine that helps the heart and lungs. The goal is to find the right doses so the drugs work better and are safer for people in this condition.
