First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study observed 257 emergency patients on ECMO (a heart-lung machine) to understand why many experience serious bleeding. Researchers checked for defects in von Willebrand factor, a protein that helps blood clot. The goal was to see how often bleeding happens and if it's linked to these clotting problems.
