Portable MRI for brain injury in children on ECMO
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses a portable MRI to look for brain injuries in children on ECMO (a heart-lung support machine). It may help doctors detect problems early and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The patient must be 17 years old or younger.
- The patient must be staying in a children's intensive care unit (PICU, CICU, or NICU) at the hospital.
- The patient must be currently on ECMO (a heart-lung bypass machine) or at high risk of needing it.
- The patient cannot be pregnant.
- The patient must be able to have an MRI safely (no unsafe metal implants or devices).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a small, portable MRI machine can take pictures of the brain at the bedside for children with brain injuries from lack of oxygen or blood flow. It may help doctors see the injury sooner and guide care without moving the child.
This study monitors how much blood is reaching the brain in adults who need a specific type of life-support called VV-ECMO. The goal is to better understand brain blood flow and how monitoring may help manage care during ECMO.
This study compares two MRI scan settings (a lower and higher magnetic field) in children to see how well they work for pediatric patients. It may help doctors choose the best MRI approach for kids without changing any care beyond the scan itself.
This study checks how well a special MRI machine setting (low-field MRI) works for outpatients who are children. It may help your child get an MRI without extra sedation added for the study.
This study uses a brain MRI with a special blood-vessel scan to see how circulation changes after a life-support machine called ECMO in young children. It may help doctors better understand what happens in the brain after ECMO and improve care.
This study looks at oxygen levels in the brains of children and young adults (birth to 18 years) during a standard MRI. The goal is to learn more about how the brain works, and it only adds a few minutes to your child's regular MRI scan.
