New device could save limbs in sedated ECMO patients

NCT ID NCT05830721

First seen Jan 08, 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.
