New study reveals key bleeding risks for patients on Life-Saving Heart-Lung machine
NCT ID NCT03888833
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 278 adults on a heart-lung support machine (VA ECMO) to find early warning signs of dangerous bleeding. Researchers collected data on patient health history, treatments, and lab results at the start of support. The goal was to identify factors that increase bleeding risk, which is a common and serious complication. Findings may help doctors better manage and prevent bleeding in these critically ill patients.
