Summary
This study looked at 61 adults on ECMO life support to see if a blood test called TEG could help doctors better manage bleeding and clotting risks. The goal was to see if TEG results matched standard tests and could predict which patients were more likely to have complications. The study did not test a new treatment, but aimed to improve how doctors monitor and guide care for these critically ill patients.
