NCT ID NCT06628778

Summary

This study aims to find out if a blood-thinning medication (dalteparin) can safely prevent dangerous blood clots in critically ill teenagers during their hospital stay.

The trial compares the medication against the current standard of care, which is no preventive blood thinner.
