Platelet Changes While on ECMO Support
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood cells called platelets change in people who are on a heart-lung machine (ECMO) in the ICU. It aims to better understand how the body responds to this support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two ways of using a heart-lung machine (ECMO) during lung transplant surgery. The goal is to see if using ECMO only when needed works as well as using it for everyone. This could help reduce risks and improve recovery.
This study looks at inflammation during ECMO (a heart-lung bypass machine) and while people are being weaned off it. It may help doctors better understand which patients are improving safely during ECMO and when to reduce support.
This study looks at how platelets (the cells that help clot blood) behave in patients on a lung-support machine called ECMO. By taking blood samples, researchers hope to better understand clotting issues that can occur during ECMO support.
This trial is studying the blood biomarkers and platelet characteristics in patients who receive CPR and are then placed on a heart-lung bypass machine (ECPR). It aims to understand how these biological markers relate to patient outcomes.
This study looks at ways to improve breathing and blood flow in patients who are on a heart-lung machine (ECMO) for severe heart problems. It may help doctors better manage care for people in intensive care.
This study looks at patients on ECMO, a machine that helps the heart and lungs, to see how well the brain is getting oxygen and how blood flows in the body. It may help doctors improve care for people who need this support.
