Platelet transfusions may influence blood vessel health in critically ill patients
NCT ID NCT07682246
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study investigates how platelet transfusions affect the function of small blood vessels and inflammation in intensive care patients with low platelet counts. Researchers measure blood vessel response using a laser device on the skin and track levels of various biomarkers in the blood. The goal is to better understand the body's reaction to platelet transfusions in critically ill adults.
