Summary
This study looked at 61 ECMO patients to see if a blood test called TEG could help doctors better manage blood thinners and reduce dangerous bleeding or clotting. ECMO is a machine that helps the heart and lungs, but balancing blood thinners is tricky. The researchers compared TEG results with standard tests to see if TEG could identify patients at higher risk.
