Life-Support machines cause mysterious bleeding: researchers hunt for clues

NCT ID NCT03070912

Summary

This study aimed to understand why serious bleeding occurs in up to half of patients on ECMO, a machine that supports heart and lung function. Researchers followed 257 emergency patients to see if bleeding was linked to problems with a blood-clotting protein called Von Willebrand factor. They compared bleeding rates between two types of ECMO machines to gather knowledge for future patient care.
