ECMO outcomes after emergency chest surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.

This study looks at the results (outcomes) for adults who are receiving VA ECMO, a heart-lung life support machine. The goal is to better understand how patients do while on this type of support.
This trial tests two different ways of using a breathing machine to protect the lungs in people who are on ECMO (a machine that adds oxygen to the blood) for severe ARDS (a serious lung condition). If you qualify, you might get a treatment approach that could help your lungs heal better.
This study tests a personalized breathing technique to improve lung function and heart performance in children who have had heart surgery or are on ECMO. The goal is to find the best way to open up the lungs safely.
This trial studies whether using a life-support machine called ECMO (extra support for the heart and lungs) helps people who develop shock right after a heart attack. It aims to improve outcomes when blood flow is failing and organs may be struggling.
This study looks at a treatment called ECMO, a machine that does the work of the heart and lungs, to help people whose heart has stopped and does not restart with standard CPR. Researchers want to learn if placing ECMO at the scene can improve survival.
This study looks at using a heart–lung machine (ECMO) to reduce complications and deaths after a lung transplant. It focuses on people getting a lung transplant who have certain types of lung-vessel (pulmonary) pressure problems.
