New device could save limbs in sedated ECMO patients
NCT ID NCT05830721
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new device that continuously measures pressure in the leg to detect a dangerous condition called compartment syndrome in patients on ECMO. ECMO patients are often sedated and cannot report symptoms, making diagnosis difficult. The device may help doctors diagnose faster and save more limbs. The study will compare three methods in 6 adults on ECMO.
