Scientists probe Blood's role in deadly shock
NCT ID NCT02635854
Summary
This study aimed to understand how tiny blood cells called platelets become overactive in people with septic shock, a life-threatening condition. Researchers compared blood samples from 27 patients in intensive care with septic shock to samples from people having routine knee or hip surgery. They measured markers of platelet activation to see if this activity is linked to how severe the shock becomes.
