Blood test may spot hidden clots in ventilator patients
NCT ID NCT07197333
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will check if two blood markers (MPV and PDW) can help doctors find deep vein thrombosis early in ICU patients who need a breathing machine. Researchers will follow 100 adults in the ICU and use ultrasound to confirm any clots. The goal is to see if these simple tests can predict clots and help guide treatment.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
he population will consist of mechanically ventilated ICU patients, a group at particularly high risk of thrombotic events due to immobility, systemic inflammation, and sedation, which limit symptom reporting. Eligible participants must be adults (\>18 years) who remain intubated for ≥48 hours. Patients with confounding conditions such as hematological malignancies, congenital platelet disorders, recent platelet transfusions, pre-existing DVT, anticoagulation therapy prior to ICU admission, or pregnancy will be excluded. This selection creates a homogeneous population highly vulnerable to DVT, ideal for assessing the predictive value of MPV and PDW.
