Bleeding and clotting risks in COVID-19 patients on ECMO
Part of Heart & circulation, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at risks of bleeding, blood clots, and blood transfusion needs in patients with COVID-19 who are on a life-support machine called ECMO. If you qualify, the study may help doctors better manage these risks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have tested positive for COVID-19 using a PCR test.
- You must be receiving treatment with a machine called ECMO (which adds oxygen to your blood) at this specific hospital.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study looks at blood clot–related complications after COVID-19 (and in some cases flu) in adults admitted to the hospital. It may help doctors better understand and manage these complications.
This study looks at how well patients recover after needing a heart-lung bypass machine (VV-ECMO) during or right after emergency chest surgery. It aims to understand what affects their prognosis.
This study looks at how often blood clot–related problems happen in people hospitalized with serious COVID-19 lung illness. It may help doctors understand risks and improve care for patients in the hospital.
This trial compares three different blood thinners (heparin, argatroban, and enoxaparin) used during ECMO support. It aims to find the safest and most effective way to prevent blood clots while on ECMO.
This trial tests whether a heart-lung machine called venovenous ECMO can help people with severe breathing failure get less sedated, get extubated (have the breathing tube removed), and start moving. It’s for certain adults who are on a ventilator for a short time and have specific oxygenation problems.
