Heart-Lung machine showdown: which oxygenator spares your platelets?
NCT ID NCT05588011
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 68 adults having planned heart surgery that required a heart-lung machine. Researchers compared two different oxygenators (artificial lungs) to see if one caused more damage to platelets, the blood cells that help stop bleeding. They used a special test called Plateletworks to measure platelet function during surgery. The goal was to learn which oxygenator is safer and improve how doctors monitor bleeding risk.
